Before you can enroll, your teen needs a WDL number. This comes from pre-applying for their Washington State learner permit through the Department of Licensing.

→ Pre-Apply for a Learner Permit (Get WDL Number)

The pre-application is quick, done online, and gives you the WDL number you'll need for enrollment. Your teen doesn't need to physically visit the DOL yet, that happens later when they get their physical permit (required before behind-the-wheel lessons).

Pick a cohort date that works for your schedule. Remember: Your teen must be at least 15 years old by the first day of class.

Fill out the enrollment form with your teen's information (using their legal name as it appears on their permit or ID). Tuition is due at the time of enrollment.

Closer to your cohort start date: You'll receive another email with important details like:

• Parent Orientation link (required before the first class)

• Class meeting links (for virtual cohorts) or location details (for in-person)
