What Is Illinois Adult Drivers Ed?
Illinois Adult Drivers Ed is a 6-hour course that satisfies the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS) Adult Driver Education requirement for first-time drivers ages 18 to 20. Per Illinois law, anyone 18 to 20 years old applying for their first Illinois driver's license must complete this course before licensing.
The curriculum covers Illinois rules of the road, defensive driving, traffic laws, and the responsibilities of a licensed driver. Get Drivers Ed is Illinois SOS-approved (Provider # 3386) and delivers the full 6 hours of instruction online — self-paced, on any device — and issues a completion certificate as soon as you finish and pass the final assessment.
Who Can Take This Course?
This course is built for Illinois residents who are 18, 19, or 20 years old and applying for their first driver's license. If you are in this age range and have not previously held a learner's permit or completed a driver education program, Illinois SOS requires this 6-hour Adult Driver Education course before you can be licensed.
If you are 21 or older, Illinois law does not require Adult Driver Education — you can apply directly. Many new drivers in that age band still choose to enroll voluntarily to prepare for the written and road tests.
What You'll Learn in This 6-Hour Course
The 6-hour curriculum is aligned to Illinois SOS Adult Driver Education content standards. You will cover:
- Illinois rules of the road and road sign recognition
- Defensive driving and hazard awareness
- Right-of-way, intersections, and lane discipline
- School zones, work zones, and Illinois-specific signage
- Effects of alcohol, drugs, distracted driving, and fatigue
- How to prepare for the Illinois driving test and written exam at the SOS office
- Insurance basics and what to do after a crash
