- The 30 hour classroom course can be in a classroom or on the internet. This requires completion within 6 months prior to applying for your Driver's Instruction Permit. Click here for a list of approved instructors.

The Driver's Awareness Permit allows ONLY the signer of the DR2460 and/or the Driver Education Instructor to complete and log the 50 hours required on the driver time log sheet.

If the person(s) who signed the DR2460 does not hold a valid Colorado driver's license, they may appoint an Alternate Permit Supervisor. The Alternate Permit Supervisor must hold a valid Colorado Driver's License and be 21 years of age or older. Drive time with an Alternate Permit Supervisor may be counted toward the 50-hour total required.

The person(s) who signed the DR2460 may also allow any person 21 years of age or older who holds a valid license to supervise the minor while driving, but that drive time does not count toward the 50 hour requirement.
