Seeking to work with another driving school

Our online instructor course is accepted throughout the state and satisfies requirements for the class portion of the training. CIESC DriverEd Safety will be unavailable to assist with the behind the wheel observation piece of training. Your local driving school could help with the 20 hours of observation hours.

The following information was taken from the the BMV’s website:

The 20 hours of behind-the-wheel training will be provided by an Indiana licensed Driver Training School and must provide training pertaining to 140 IAC 4-4-1.2. Once the trainee has completed the program, the Driver Training School must provide the trainee with proof of completion on school’s letterhead containing the following information:

Name of Indiana licensed Driver Training School; and
Statement of training completion:
“The trainee has completed the 20 hours of behind-the-wheel training instruction that meets the standards sets forth in 140 IAC 4-4-1.2.”
Full name of trainee
Driver’s license number of trainee
Date training completed
Name of each Driver Training Instructor that participated in training
Signature of school owner or instructor

How do I get started?

You may begin the process by clicking this link. After completing the online phase, you’ll then be set to begin the observation hours with the other driving school.
