HomeOur ServicesAdult New DriversDriver's Ed

Connecticut requires all new drivers – regardless of your age – to complete an 8 Hour Safe Driving Course in order to obtain a driver’s license. We recognize that our students 18 and older have different driving instruction needs than our teen customers, so we created a specific 8 Hour Adult Driving School Course. Our course fulfills all of the Adult Driving School Requirements in Connecticut and can be completed in one, two or four days. We start new adult classes every day. This affordable course is offered with a live virtual instructor via Zoom, and a new course is available somewhere in CT every weekend. Getting your license is a big deal at any age, but should never be a big hassle. We recognize that you may be doing this because you need the Completion Certificate to get your license, but also want to make the 8 hours that you spend with us worthwhile (aka, not dreadful) and give you the driving skills you'll need to pass your license test.

We welcome and encourage adults to join our Full Driver Education Bundle if you are interested in a more robust learning and driving experience. This course includes the 8 hours that make up the Safe Driving Course.

Adult Driving School Testimonials

Here are just a few adult driving students that are now licensed after attending The Next Street's Safe Driving Program:

10 out of 10 - "You guys are awesome. I could barely drive and my first lesson I was almost a pro. I got almost perfect and my drivers test with you guys was the calmest and easiest thing I've done. Easier than a lesson. The classroom time is also so enjoyable" - Raven

10 out of 10 - "The people there are very friendly and truly want every student to get their license. They also offer alternatives that other places in the area do not, giving a larger variety and route to get your license. I ultimately enjoyed my experience receiving mine so I think others should too."

10 out of 10 - "The Next Street provided me with great classroom training, and the driving lessons were also high quality. On the day of my test, I was confident and passed with ease; likely due to me using the tips I had learned in the classroom and on lessons."
