Licensing is not a formality. It is how Connecticut checks instructors, training cars and course content. If a school is not licensed, its lessons may not count toward a license or an insurance discount.
In Connecticut, driving schools are licensed through the Connecticut DMV.
- Search Connecticut’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Teens 16 and 17: 30 classroom hours (including the 8-hour Safe Driving Practices class and a 2-hour parent class) plus at least 8 hours behind the wheel with a school, recorded on the CS-1 / electronic EDEC certificate. (source)
- Adults 18 and older: the 8-hour Safe Driving Practices class before the road test. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Connecticut DMV before you enroll.
