Teen Services: Behind-the-Wheel Training

After completing the classroom portion, students can begin behind-the-wheel (BTW) instruction with one of our licensed driving instructors. This hands-on training focuses on applying classroom knowledge to real-world driving situations, helping students build safe and confident driving habits.

Program Requirements

To begin behind-the-wheel training, students must:

Be at least 15 years old
Have a valid Wisconsin instruction permit
Have completed the 30-hour classroom course (either traditional or online)

Training Details

Students must complete a total of 50 hours of supervised driving, which includes:

12 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction with a licensed instructor (included in the program)
10 hours of night driving, counted as part of the total 50 hours
The remaining hours should be completed with an eligible supervising adult, such as a parent or guardian.

Once the student is eligible, an instructor will be assigned and will contact the student (or parent) to schedule driving sessions.

Adaptive Driving Instructors

The Master's Driving School provides complete and comprehensive programs for all levels of trainees. TMDS offers services from high school classroom courses to behind-the-wheel training with adaptive equipment. This includes a full array of adapted vehicles and a shop to complete evaluations which require modifications that are too complex to provide on-site.
