Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this course approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for Parent Taught Driver Education (PTDE)?
Yes, this course is approved by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for Parent Taught Driver Education (PTDE). The course number assigned to us by the TDLR for the PTDE program is #114.
Does this course provide the required driver education certificates for a student to get a Texas learner license and driver license?
Yes, this course does provide the required driver education certificates for a student to get a Texas learner license and driver license.
How is this course different from other Texas Parent Taught Driver Education (PTDE) courses?
The lessons of our course have audio narration, 3D driving videos from the driver's perspective, professional photos, and easy-to-understand diagrams. These multimedia elements make the course more interesting and help make driving easier to learn. Some other courses require the student to read through literally 1,000 - 1,500 pages worth of text - with no audio or video, which can be frustrating and boring for many students.
The in-car driving activities of the course allow the instructor (parent, legal guardian, etc.) to demonstrate driving tasks to the student. There are step-by-step instructions at the top of each activity that provide the instuctor with the tasks or concepts they need to cover. The student can then practice the driving tasks afterwards. The activities were written to be easy-to-understand, and they can be printed out to take along in the vehicle.
