Driver Ed in a Box® will satisfy all of your teenager’s driver education needs and at the same time teach them to become a safe, collision-free driver.  In Montana, you do not need to take any other driver education course (either through the school system of from a commercial school.)

The first 6 hours if the classroom included in our course, combined with the Montana Driver Manual, will give your teen all the information they need to take their examination and receive their permit at age 16. 

Driver Ed in a Box® gives you the tools to work with your teen during the permit stage.  Montana requires you spend a minimum of 50 hours supervising your teen driver during the permit time.  Our course will guide you past the handling skills learned in traditional driver education, giving you the tools you need to teach the skills your teen driver needs to become a safe, collision-free driver.  By combining the 50 hours Montana requires with the tools you receive in Driver Ed in a Box®, you will help your teen build the habits of safe, collision-free driving (click here to access our Product Description page).  Driver Ed in a Box® creates habits that are proven to be effective (see Survey).  

The Driver Ed in a Box® program gives you the tools to master the skills of each section of driving (we break it down to Parking Lot, Neighborhood, Two Lane and Four Lane Light Traffic, Freeway, Rural and Heavy Traffic). With our checklist and audio CDs, it allows the student to master the skills required in each area at their own pace before moving on to the next section.  If you have completed the Driver Ed in a Box® program and are at least 16 ½ (Montana state requirements), you can go to the local driver license examiner and take your road test.

Parent/student comments:

"I began driving in an empty parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. Starting in a stick shift car made learning a little more difficult for me because there is so much more to remember but now I drive with ease. Not being able to advance to the next maneuver until I mastered the first one inspired me to keep going in spite of frustration. My dad would sit next to me and tell me what I needed to do and what I needed to change, which was helpful." - R.K., Lolo, Montana

"All of the audio series was very useful." - Bonnie Compton, Whitefish, Montana

"My favorite part of Driver Ed in a Box® was watching the movies. I learn best when I see things and watching the movies on how to drive helped me to catch on quick. I don't think there was one question that I had about driving after I had completed the entire course. The material was very accurate and complete." - Zachary Henry, Great Falls, Montana
