Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Start

Create your account and begin the Texas Adult Driver Education Course immediately. The course runs through text-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. Your progress saves automatically after each section, so you can close out and pick back up without losing anything.

Work Through the Material

The course covers Texas road signs, traffic laws, right-of-way rules, and alcohol and drug impairment content. Each section builds toward the final exam. No live video streaming, no scheduled class times. Log in from Corsicana or anywhere else in Navarro County on your own schedule.

Pass the Exam and Get Certified

The 30-question final exam covers road signs and road rules and must be passed at 70% to complete the 6 hours requirement. Pass it and you get your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion. That certificate substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test when you apply for your license.

Questions About the Texas Adult Driver Education Course

Who is required to take this course in Texas?

First-time Texas driver license applicants between the ages of 18 and 24 are required to complete the Texas Adult Driver Education Course before applying. That requirement comes from Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, specifically Section 84.503, which governs adult driver education enrollment. Adults 25 and older are not required to take it, but many do because completing the course and passing the built-in final exam lets them skip the in-person DPS written knowledge test entirely. If you are in Navarro County and applying for your first Texas license, check your age group and confirm which category applies to you before heading to the Corsicana DPS Driver License Office.

Does passing the course final exam mean I skip the written test at the DPS?

Yes. The 30-question final exam built into the Texas Adult Driver Education Course substitutes for the DPS Class C written knowledge test, as recognized under current Texas DPS requirements. Pass the final exam at the required score and you bring your ADE-1317 Certificate of Completion to the DPS instead of sitting for a separate written test at the counter. The in-person driving skills test at the Corsicana DPS Driver License Office is still required and is a separate step. The course handles the knowledge portion. You still need to get behind the wheel with a DPS examiner to complete your license application in Navarro County.

How long does the course actually take to finish?

The Texas Adult Driver Education Course satisfies the state-mandated 6 hours requirement under Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84. There is no daily hour cap, so you can work through the full requirement in a single day or split it across several sessions. Progress saves automatically after each section, so logging out does not cost you completed work. Most people in the Providence area who took this course found the self-paced format easier to manage around work or school schedules than a fixed classroom. The final exam must be passed at 70% to complete the course and trigger your certificate. Plan your time accordingly before your DPS appointment.

What is the ADE-1317 certificate and what do I do with it at the DPS?

The ADE-1317 is the official Certificate of Completion issued by a TDLR approved Texas driver education provider when you finish the Texas Adult Driver Education Course. Under current Texas DPS requirements, this certificate is what you bring to the DPS Driver License Office when applying for your first Texas license. It confirms you completed the required adult driver education and, because you passed the course final exam, it also stands in for the DPS written knowledge test. The Corsicana DPS Driver License Office, which serves Navarro County residents including those from Providence, accepts the ADE-1317 as part of your license application packet. Keep a digital copy accessible on your phone as a backup.

Do adults have to log behind-the-wheel practice hours for this course?

No. Adults taking the Texas Adult Driver Education Course are not required to log behind-the-wheel practice hours as part of this course. That requirement applies to the teen driver education program, not the adult course governed by Texas Administrative Code Title 16, Chapter 84, Section 84.503. The adult course is knowledge-based: complete the lessons, pass the quizzes, pass the 30-question final exam, and you receive your ADE-1317 certificate. The in-person driving skills test at the Corsicana DPS Driver License Office is still required as a separate step when you apply for your license. That test is administered by a DPS examiner, not tracked through this course.

Why would someone 25 or older take this course if it is not required?

The main reason is skipping the in-person DPS written knowledge test. Under current Texas DPS requirements, adults 25 and older applying for a first Texas license can either take the written test at the DPS counter or complete an approved adult driver education course and use the course final exam in its place. For someone in Providence who works in Corsicana or elsewhere in Navarro County, making an extra trip to the DPS just to sit for a written test is an avoidable step. Completing the Texas Adult Driver Education Course through TrafficSchool.net, a TDLR approved provider, means you arrive at the Corsicana DPS Driver License Office with your ADE-1317 certificate and go straight to scheduling your driving skills test.
