Nevada's teen licensing process starts with an instruction permit. You can apply for one at 15Β½, and you do not need to complete driver education before receiving the permit. Before getting a full driver's license, however, most first-time drivers under 18 must complete an approved driver education course. (Nevada DMV)
To qualify for a Nevada driver's license, you must also hold your instruction permit for at least six months, complete the required supervised driving experience, meet the applicable driver education requirement, maintain the required driving record, and pass the driving skills test. (Nevada DMV)
Here's the basic timeline:

Once you have the permit, you can begin practicing with a supervising driver. The supervising driver must be at least 21 years old, have at least one year of licensed driving experience, and sit beside you while you drive. (Nevada DMV)
