What Our Students Are Saying

Why Choose Top Driver Online

Top Driver's engaging 6-hour Online Course teaches adult drivers about road safety and traffic rules, empowering students to become safe and intelligent drivers.

Illinois requires 18-20 year olds without a prior license or traditional driver education to complete a six-hour adult driver education course. Top Driver's course fulfills this requirement.

Top Driver's self-paced online course lets you review and learn at your convenience, fitting it into your schedule, but must be completed within 30 days, as required by the Secretary of State.

The engaging curriculum covers traffic safety and rules of the road, giving students the knowledge needed to become responsible drivers.

Illinois Adult FAQs

Any changes to enrollment, location, or start date may be subject to a $200 fee. Please contact our customer service at 1.800.374.8373 for more information.

Students are expected to attend all classroom sessions. If a student misses a session, they must schedule a makeup session by calling Customer Service at 1.800.374.8373. A 48-hour notice is required to reschedule or cancel an In-Vehicle lesson. A $60 Late Cancel/No Show fee will be charged if we do not receive the required notice. Click here for more details and view our official cancellation policy.

In Illinois, students have 9 months from the first day of their classroom session to successfully complete the entire program, which includes both classroom sessions and behind-the-wheel instruction.

A hard copy certificate of completion is not mandatory. Prior to visiting a Secretary of State Facility to apply for a driver’s license, completion of driver education must be updated/posted to the applicant’s driving record. Students should check their eligibility to apply for a driver’s license on the Driver’s Education Course Completion checker tool.

Students must hold their permit for a minimum of 9 months from the date of issue. Additional requirements can be viewed on the Secretary of State Facility Checklist.
