Our curriculum emphasizes the dangers of distractions and equips your teen with the skills they need to stay safe on the roads. Beyond preparing them for the knowledge test and road test, we focus on developing safe driving habits that will last a lifetime.
Five Essential Steps for Teen Drivers to Master the Road
Choosing Champions Driving School’s Teen program provides a comprehensive and supportive pathway to obtaining your driver’s license. The process begins with signing up for a Teen Drivers Ed course, which includes in-person classroom instruction.
During these sessions, students learn essential driving knowledge and safety practices. Upon completing the classroom portion, students can apply for their Learner Driver License (Permit) at the Department of Public Safety (DPS). With their permit, students then schedule in-car lessons with Champions, where they receive personalized driving instruction.
Your Road to a Texas Learner’s Permit: What Every Teen Should Know
As part of the teen drivers ed class, your teen will take the written driving exam (aka permit test) at our location, after they complete the first 6 hours of class.
Once your student passes the written portion they will be administered a certificate of completion. Students are required to go to the DPS in-person to submit paperwork, take a vision test and have their picture taken. A parent or court appointed guardian (bring court papers with you) must accompany the teen to the DPS office of your choice.
Behind The Wheel Training
To earn their license, teens need to complete 44 hours of in-car training, 14 of which must be done with a certified instructor here at Champions Driving School. Your student will receive 14 hours of instruction, including:
- 7 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction
- 7 hours of in-car observation
Each lesson is a comprehensive two hours, providing a balance of hands-on driving and observational learning. Through these 7 lessons, your teen will learn essential skills like car handling, basic maneuvers, and safe driving practices according to the rules of the road. Our certified instructors will guide your teen through our proven curriculum that is sure to have your teen driving like a Champion.
Learner’s Permit Checklist
Look over our Checklist for getting your learners permit at the DPS to ensure that you bring all necessary documents. Then double-check the list again because there’s nothing worse than spending several hours at the DPS just to discover you’re missing one document. Also, we would be more than happy to pre-check your paperwork before your trip to the DPS to confirm that you have everything you need.
Take the DADAP Class
The road can be a dangerous place, especially for young drivers. That’s why our Teen Drivers Ed course includes the Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program (DADAP). This critical 6-hour program educates young drivers about how drugs and alcohol impair their judgment, reaction time, and coordination, emphasizing the consequences of driving under the influence.
Earning a license is a privilege, which means it can be taken away as a result of irresponsible decisions behind the wheel. By learning about the dangers of impaired driving and responsible decision-making, teens can navigate the roads with confidence and avoid making choices that could have serious consequences.
Process for
The Official Driver’s License
Once your teen has fulfilled the drivers ed. requirements, has held their permit for at least 6 months, and is at least 16 years old, they can schedule their road test to get their license.
Schedule a DPS-Authorized Road Test
The road test is a state-requirement but it can be done with either the DPS or a Third Party Skills Testing (TPST) school, like Champions. See DPS-AUTHORIZED ROAD TEST page for more information and to schedule your test right away!
Checklist for Getting Your Official License
Look over our Checklist for getting your license at the DPS to ensure that you bring all necessary documents. Most of our students choose to take the road test with us in order to be in a comfortable and familiar environment during this nerve-racking experience. However, if you choose to take your road test at the DPS, be sure to request your DE-964 completion certificate from us prior to your test date, as this is a vital document necessary at the DPS to get your license. For our students taking the test with us, your DE-964 certificate will be ready for you when you come in at your appointment time, and will be included in your final package to take to the DPS for processing.
