This Adult Upgrade is ideal for students 18 and older who have already completed the Connecticut-required 8-Hour Drug & Alcohol Safety Program and want to expand their driver education without repeating content. With this upgrade, adult students complete Sessions 1 and 6–15 of our 30-Hour Comprehensive Driver Education Course, earning an additional 22 hours of in-depth classroom instruction. These sessions focus on driving laws, vehicle operation, defensive strategies, and real-world driving conditions that prepare adults for safe, confident driving. All sessions are taught live via Zoom by state-certified instructors. This classroom-only course builds the theory and decision-making skills every driver needs before moving on to behind-the-wheel lessons. Driving lessons may be added at any time.
