How many weeks does driving school take?
I’m going to turn 16 in a few months. I want to enroll at a driving school so I can get my license as soon as possible. How long should I expect it to take to get through driving school?

Generally speaking, driving school takes somewhere between one and four weeks. How long your tenure in driving school will last depends on your schedule and availability, the driving school you attend, and how quickly you can complete your lessons and training.
In most states, you need:
- 30 hours of coursework in the classroom
- Six one-hour lessons with a certified driving instructor
- 25 to 45 hours of supervised driving with a friend or family member
But with a bit of hard work and determination, you should be able to get your license rather quickly. Just note that expedited driving schools can cost up to $1,000 depending on where you live and the school you attend. Budget appropriately.
And speaking of budgeting, remember to set some money aside each month to pay for your
car insurance
. Insurance for new drivers is notoriously expensive, so you should shop around and compare rates. The Jerry
