Once you have received your registration confirmation email you are free to begin the course. The online coursework takes an average of at least 30 hours to complete and includes 18 hours of video and 12 hours of quizzes, reading assignments, practice exams and an in-person final exam. Because the course is online, you can choose when and where you would like to access the course, and you can finish the work as quickly as you would like.

The driving portion of the course that you will complete with A-1 Driving School can be started as soon as you would like, or you can wait until you have finished your online coursework. Whenever you decide to start, make sure to finish the driving and observation within one year from when you register. You need to complete 6 hours of behind-the-wheel driving and 6 hours of observing another student drive at an approved A-1 location.

Quizzes
All quizzes must be passed with a score of 18 or higher. If scores are 17 or lower, students must retake the quiz until a score of at least 18 has been received.

Practice Exam
The practice exam has 100 questions and must be passed with a score of 80% or higher in order to advance to the final. We recommend taking the practice exam enough times to be completely comfortable with the material. Students are more likely to pass the final exam if they have received a score between 90%-100% on the practice exam. Please take the time to know the information well.

Final Exam
The final exam has 100 questions and is a part of the online coursework. It must be completed within the 60 days or you will have to pay an extension fee. The exam is password protected and must be taken at an A-1 Driving School location. Please call A-1 Driving School to make your appointment within your 60 day time limit. This exam must be passed with a score of 80% or higher. The test may be taken up to three times.

You must have a learner's permit in order to be able to drive with an A-1 Driving School instructor. In order to obtain a permit, go to the Utah Driver License Division (see a list of locations here) and take a 50 question test based on information from the Utah Driver's Handbook. This test may be taken at any time. The online portion of the course does not need to be finished in order to take it.
