The Tennessee Driver Education Course is a 4-hour online program approved by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security that may help with ticket dismissal, point reduction, or insurance discounts. You must complete all chapters, quizzes, and a final exam to receive your certificate.
The Tennessee Driver Education Course, also called Tennessee Traffic School, is a state-approved online program for drivers seeking ticket dismissal, point reduction, or insurance savings. This guide explains how to enroll, what to expect, and how to use your certificate after completion.
Who Should Take the Tennessee Driver Education Course
You may take the Tennessee Driver Education Course if you have court permission for ticket dismissal, received a letter from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (DSHS) for point reduction, or want an insurance discount. For ticket dismissal, you must get approval from the court before enrolling. For point reduction, the DSHS must notify you of eligibility. Voluntary insurance discounts do not require pre-approval, but you should confirm with your insurer before enrolling.
Course Structure and Requirements
The course is delivered 100% online and consists of 8 chapters, each ending with a quiz. You must pass each quiz with a score of 80% or higher to unlock the next chapter. The final exam has 25 questions, also requiring an 80% score to pass, and you may use course materials during the exam. Page timers enforce the 4-hour minimum required by Tennessee law. You can complete the course in multiple sessions, and your progress saves automatically.
Cost and Enrollment
The Tennessee Driver Education Course costs USD 29.97 as a one-time payment. This fee includes access to all course materials, quizzes, the final exam, and your completion certificate.
