Do you offer driver education for adults? I'm a new resident or just learning to drive.
Yes, we warmly welcome adult learners of all ages and backgrounds! Our adult driving lessons are priced at $100 per hour and are completely customized to your needs. Whether you’re a new Colorado resident adjusting to local driving conditions, an experienced driver seeking a refresher, or someone learning to drive for the very first time, our sessions combine essential classroom discussion with practical behind-the-wheel practice. It’s never too late to gain the confidence and skills needed to navigate Colorado roads safely.
Is this the same test given at the DMV?
Yes. Mile High Driver Training uses the official State of Colorado driving and written exams. Our examiners are certified by the state to ensure your test meets all legal requirements.
Do I still need to go to the DMV after I pass?
Yes. After passing your test at our center, you will take your passing paperwork (BOST form) to a DMV office to have your physical permit or license printed.
Do you provide the car for the driving test?
Applicants typically provide their own safe, insured vehicle. If you do not have a vehicle available, please contact your preferred location in advance to check for vehicle rental availability.
What happens if I fail the test?
If you do not pass, our examiners will provide feedback on which skills need improvement. You may retake the test after a state-mandated waiting period (usually the following day, depending on the score).
Can I take the written test in Spanish?
Yes. We offer a Spanish 2-Hour Permit Class that includes bilingual instruction and the state permit exam.
