You must be at least 16 and under 18 to qualify for a Level One Learner's Permit through Delaware's GDL program. You must also complete the required Delaware-approved driver education and provide the required certificate.
Yes. Anyone under 18 must successfully complete a Delaware Department of Education-approved driver education course before obtaining a Level One Learner's Permit.
No. Teendrivingcourse is not the Delaware-certified program required for a teen Level One permit and does not issue the state's Blue Certificate.
The Blue Certificate is the High School Driver Education Certificate issued after successful completion of Delaware's approved 44-hour driver education program.
The current Class D knowledge test has 32 questions, and you need at least 26 correct answers to pass.
Not necessarily. If your Blue Certificate is within six months of its issue date, the DMV accepts it in place of the written and road skills tests. After six months, DMV testing is required.
You must be supervised by a licensed parent, guardian, or other approved licensed driver who is at least 25 years old and has held a Class D license for at least five years. The supervisor must sit beside you in the front seat.
You must complete 50 hours of driving practice during the first six months, including 10 hours of nighttime driving. Your sponsor certifies the required driving experience.
Yes, generally between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. After the first six months, driving between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. still requires supervision, except for limited qualifying activities.
The permit generally allows only one additional passenger besides the required adult supervisor. During the second six months, when you drive without a supervisor, you may have only one additional passenger.
A sponsor signs your GDL application and has authority over your driving privileges during the program. The sponsor may withdraw the endorsement, including after the GDL period for a minor until the minor turns 18.
No. Delaware prohibits cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle for Level One permit holders, and violations can result in a suspension.
A permit holder can obtain a Class D license after completing the full 12-month GDL period, provided the sponsor has not withdrawn the endorsement and the driving privilege is not otherwise suspended or invalid.
Delaware requires at least $25,000/$50,000 in bodily injury liability, $10,000 in property damage coverage, and $15,000/$30,000 in personal injury protection.
Yes, as a supplemental study resource. It does not replace Delaware's approved driver education course, Blue Certificate, or required supervised driving experience.

Delaware uses a Graduated Driver Licensing system for drivers under 18. You must complete a Delaware Department of Education-approved driver education course before receiving a Level One Learner's Permit. The approved program results in the High School Driver Education Certificate commonly called the Blue Certificate.
You can qualify for a Level One Learner's Permit at age 16 after completing the required driver education, obtaining the required certificate, providing the required documentation, and having a sponsor sign your application. You then complete a 12-month period of graduated driving authority before receiving a Class D license.
Teendrivingcourse is not a Delaware Department of Education-certified driver education program and does not replace the approved course required for a Level One Learner's Permit. It can instead serve as a supplemental resource for learning traffic rules, safe-driving concepts, and other material relevant to becoming a new driver.
For anyone under 18, Delaware requires successful completion of a Delaware Department of Education driver education course. Approved instruction consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction, seven hours of behind-the-wheel instruction, and seven hours of in-car observation.
Students who successfully complete the 44-hour program receive the High School Driver Education Certificate, commonly known as the Blue Certificate. Public and most non-public high schools offer driver education, while eligible homeschool students and students at certain small religious academies can use approved alternative programs.
Teendrivingcourse does not issue the Delaware Blue Certificate and cannot substitute for this state-approved training.
The Delaware Class D knowledge test currently contains 32 questions, and you must answer at least 26 correctly to pass. The test is based on the Delaware Driver Manual.
For teens who complete an approved Delaware driver education course, the Blue Certificate can be accepted in place of the DMV written and road skills tests for six months from the certificate's date of issue. If that six-month period expires, DMV testing is required.
Teendrivingcourse can help you review the knowledge covered by the Delaware Driver Manual, but it does not provide the state-approved driver education certificate.
Once you have completed approved driver education, you can apply for a Level One Learner's Permit when you are at least 16 and under 18. You must present your Delaware Driver Education Certificate, provide the required identity and residency documentation, and have a sponsor sign your application.
Your sponsor is generally a parent or legal guardian who accepts responsibility under Delaware's GDL system. The sponsor signs the application in the presence of a DMV employee and has authority over your driving privileges during the GDL period.
During the first six months after your Level One Learner's Permit is issued, you must have supervision whenever you drive. The supervising driver must be a licensed parent, guardian, or other approved licensed driver who is at least 25 years old and has held a Class D license for at least five years. The supervisor must sit beside you in the front seat.
During this first six-month period, your sponsor must certify that you completed at least 50 hours of driving practice, including 10 hours of nighttime driving. The certification is submitted after the first six months of valid driving authority.
After the first six months of valid driving authority and completion of the required practice certification, your Level One permit allows more independence.
You may generally drive without supervision from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. During the 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. period, supervision is still required, with limited exceptions for travel directly to or from qualifying church, work, or school activities.
Passenger restrictions continue throughout the GDL period. During the second six months, when you are driving without a supervisor, you may have only one additional passenger in the vehicle. Immediate family members have a specific exception when the required adult supervisor is present.
Your Level One Learner's Permit represents a full 12 months of graduated driving authority. Time during which your driving privilege is suspended, revoked, canceled, denied, or surrendered does not count toward the required 12 months. Additional time is added so you complete a full 12 months of valid driving authority.
At age 17, a permit holder who has completed the full 12-month GDL period can obtain a Class D operator's license as long as the sponsor has not withdrawn the endorsement and the driving privilege is not suspended or otherwise invalid.
The sponsor is an important part of Delaware's teen licensing system. The sponsor signs the GDL application, has final authority over the teen's driving privileges during the program, and may withdraw the endorsement. For a minor, that authority can continue until the minor turns 18.
Because the sponsor's endorsement affects the teen's driving privilege, families should understand the sponsor requirements before applying for the Level One permit.
Delaware prohibits cell phone use while operating a motor vehicle for Level One permit holders. A violation can result in a suspension under the state's GDL rules.
For a new driver, keeping the phone out of reach while driving is the simplest way to avoid distraction and remain within the restrictions that apply to your permit.
Delaware requires registered vehicles to carry minimum insurance coverage. The required limits include $25,000 for bodily injury to one person, $50,000 for bodily injury to two or more people in an accident, and $10,000 for property damage. Delaware also requires personal injury protection of at least $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident.
Make sure the vehicle you use for driving practice and licensing meets Delaware's insurance requirements.
Teendrivingcourse does not fulfill Delaware's certified driver education requirement for a teen Level One Learner's Permit. It does not issue the Delaware Blue Certificate or replace the classroom, behind-the-wheel, and observation components of the state-approved program.
Instead, you can use Teendrivingcourse as a supplemental study resource. The course can help you review traffic rules, road signs, right-of-way concepts, hazard awareness, and defensive driving principles before and during the supervised practice period.
Teendrivingcourse's Delaware FAQ describes the online course as a resource that may be used as a supplement where state approval is not applicable, and it advises students to confirm state-specific requirements with Delaware authorities.
If you are preparing for a Delaware teen license, complete the state-approved driver education program first and use the current Delaware DMV and Department of Education requirements as your official source for licensing steps.
