Oklahoma DPS Course

Our systematic and progressive approach utilizes the latest trends in driver training. The program is available in multiple formats: text, interactive CD-Rom, or internet.

The curriculum is built in seven levels. Each level contains two parts. Part one is classroom and part two is driving. The student must pass the classroom and driving activities at each level before graduating to the next level. Our concurrent training outline is easy to follow and allows students to practice and retain what they have learned.

For your convenience, you only have to send in coursework at the completion of all seven levels. Send us your evaluations and logs for review; books and CDs are yours to keep.

We have added over 25 full length modern videos to our online video library. All packages include access to this extensive video collection. No other driver ed program in the United States can compare.

Understanding Car Crashes is one of many example of the types of videos included in our program.

 

Part 1: Drivers Ed Discovery Group

The discovery group in each level begins at home with reading material provided in the student manual. Once the student has read the material, he will take a written test provided in the driver education manual or online program.

In addition to the reading material, the student will accrue class hours by participating in "additional activities." These projects, such as tire rotation, oil changes, current events research, etc., give the student "hands on" experience and make the discovery group learning more practical and less theoretical. We are constantly updating our video library. Each level will require the student to watch videos that are associated to that particular level. Young Drivers and Understanding Car Crashes are both examples of the quality of films that we have to offer.

The student must complete a minimum of 30 hours of driver education, and achieve a score of 90% or more to qualify for our completion certificate. No exceptions.

Part 2: Behind-the-Wheel

Phase two of each level is driving. Your student will gradually increase in skill, experience, and driving maturity while progressing from one level to the next. Each level directs you step-by-step through a progressive and systematic process of driver training.

We also include "Things to Emphasize" and "Things to Watch For." These sections in the parent's manual help you to identify when your teenager is likely to be nervous, inattentive, or overconfident and prepare you to handle the situation. Our driving evaluation sheets allow you to objectively assess your student's performance.

Performance based evaluation equips you, the parent, to confidently graduate your teen from one level to the next. You and your teen will know when to progress forward. You will be surprised and excited as you witness your teen's maturity, skill, experience, and progress.

Statistics have proven the value of ensuring your teen has spent enough time training. Our driving logs give you a simple form to record all of the information you need while tracking your teen's training.

 

Oklahoma Drivers Manual

This handbook is written to help you qualify for an Oklahoma Driver License and become a safe driver. It is not an official legal reference to Oklahoma traffic laws, but explains in everyday language the knowledge and skills you will need to drive safely and legally on Oklahoma’s roads and highways. Good drivers know, understand, and respect the laws and safe-driving practices. They drive defensively and courteously, always seeking to improve their driving skills and habits.

If you are an Oklahoma resident, you must have an Oklahoma Driver License to operate a car, truck, or motorcycle. You must pass the required tests for the type of vehicle you want to drive. The tests will be given and evaluated by a professional driver examiner of the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, according to state and national standards.

Your license to operate a motor vehicle on Oklahoma’s streets and highways is a privilege granted by the state under certain conditions. This privilege is granted only to people who can show that they have the knowledge and the ability to safely operate their vehicles. Abuse of the privilege may result in the loss of your Oklahoma Driver License.

Oklahoma Parent Taught Drivers Ed

On November 1, 2001 Oklahoma enacted Parent Taught Driver Education. It became law as a result of Senate Bill 747 passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Frank Keating. The Parent Taught Driver Education Program is designed to provide Driver Education to students who are otherwise unable to receive it in school or through a commercial driving school. Oklahoma has enjoyed the benefits of driver education in conventional school settings for years and today is in keeping with the trends of alternative sources of education to target more young drivers.

Oklahoma GDL

What is GDL? Graduated Driver Licensing is a system for phasing in on-road driving, allowing beginners to get their initial experience under conditions that involve lower risk and introducing them in stages to more complex driving situations.

What is Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL)? Essentially an apprentice system, graduated licensing involves three stages. the first is a supervised learner's period, lasting a minimum of 6 months in optimal systems, then an intermediate licensing phase that permits unsupervised driving only in less risky situations, and finally a full-privilege license becomes available when conditions of the first two stages have been met.

Within this framework, substantial variation is possible in terms of the provisions of the stages and their duration. This variation often has created difficulty for jurisdictions that are constructing a graduated system. Policymakers need to know what features their system should include and what the characteristics should be.

 

 

Oklahoma Requirements

Level 1 instruction can be started at any time. However, immediately after Level 1, behind-the-wheel instruction begins. At this point, the student must be at least 15 and ½ years of age, possess a valid Oklahoma Driver’s Instruction (Learner’s) Permit, and the parent must submit an affidavit and have it accepted by the Oklahoma Dept. of Public Safety stating the parent is a licensed driver and the vehicle is properly insured. An affidavit comes with any of our packages A through D.
