Absolutely! And it's vital that you enroll in a State licensed Georgia driver education course! This course is designed specifically for Georgia and is licensed by the Georgia Department of Driver Services.
In Georgia as in most states, you can obtain your learner's permit at age 15. You must be 16 years of age to receive your drivers license (with a licensed Driver Education Course like this one - otherwise the earliest you can receive your license is 17) and you also must have held your learner's permit for one year and one day. While technically the online portion can be taken at any age it is usually taken shortly after your 15th birthday. You will not be eligible to complete the driving portion without a learner's permit which cannot be obtained until the age of 15 and completion of a written test. By taking the driver's education course and obtaining the learner's permit as early as possible after your 15th birthday, you will allow the maximum time possible to drive with a parent/guardian before your 16th birthday. This will provide the most practiced solo driver when that time arrives.
After your 15th birthday and successfully receiving your learner's permit you enroll in our course (or earlier as mentioned above if you so choose for the non-driving portion). After enrolling you will be provided with all the information you will need to complete your course. Once you have the information you may continue the course at your own pace in your own time. Our course guides both the parent and student with printouts for successful completion of the required behind-the-wheel training.
Your parent or guardian will conduct and log your in-car driving and certify the completion of each objective. Upon completion of the course, we will provide you a State Certificate of Completion. When you turn 16 and have had your learner's permit for one year and one day, you will take this Certificate along with the other parent certified material to your local Georgia licensing center where, after successfully completing your driving test you are now extremely prepared for after following our comprehensive course, you will receive your drivers license. There is nothing to worry about as we'll walk you through the entire process! Click here to begin

GAOnlineDriversEd.com is my site and I live in Loganville, GA. I was doing research on online driver's education after my daughter had mentioned her friends having done it this way. I went to the Georgia Department of Driver Services website and found what I believe to be the only customized course for Georgia using computer-based-learning techniques and called them to find out more. Turns out they were new to Georgia and after speaking with Kevin, the founder, he asked if I would like to help them in Georgia by becoming their affiliate. I not only have this website which connects to Virtual Drive, but I represent Virtual Drive to schools, county governments, etc.
