Teen Driver Education
with Top Driver
Top Driver is dedicated to supporting teens throughout their entire driver's license journey. From classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training to obtaining a learner's permit and passing the road test, we are here to provide the resources and support necessary to succeed.
To enroll, students must reach the age of 15 on or before the final scheduled classroom session of their program. On the Top Driver website after entering your zip code, select your Top Driver location and input your date of birth to view the classes for which you are eligible.
In Illinois, students are required to provide proof of good academic standing from their high school to enroll in Driver Education. The Grade Verification Form must be submitted to Top Driver before the end of class.
The classroom program comprises 30 hours of instruction divided into 15 two-hour sessions. The duration of the classroom program ranges from 3 1/2 weeks to 15 weeks, depending on the frequency of the sessions. Weekday classes meet for 2 or 4 days per week, while weekend classes typically meet once a week.
Teens enrolled in an approved Driver Education program become eligible for an Instruction Permit at age 15. The Instruction Permit is valid for two years from the date of issue.

2.Click here to view Required Documentation to apply for an Instruction Permit
Once students obtain their Instruction Permit and enter the permit number in their Top Driver Signals account, they can begin scheduling behind-the-wheel lessons.
Behind-the-wheel training involves a student operating the training vehicle alongside our expert instructors. Sessions are scheduled in one-hour increments and can be paired with an observation lesson. This is when a student observes another student’s driving lesson from the backseat of the training vehicle.
Students must pass both a written classroom final exam and an in-vehicle evaluation to successfully complete their Driver Education Program. If the student is unable to pass the exam in two attempts, they must retake the classroom phase of training at a cost of $200
To be eligible for the road test, students must complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving practice (including at least 10 hours at night) in addition to their Driver Education coursework.
Top Driver is an approved provider of the IL SOS Cooperative Road Test. For more information please check out our IL Teen Road Tests.
Trusted by Thousands of Illinois Drivers Since 2003!

Illinois Teen FAQs
Top Driver Aurora is at 1500 Sullivan Rd, Aurora, IL 60506 — on the Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA) campus, serving boarding students and Fox Valley families. The location is easy to find from I-88 (one mile north) and from Route 56 (a few blocks south). Free parking is available in the IMSA campus lot. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Central time.
Top Driver Aurora serves students from Aurora, Batavia, North Aurora, Geneva, and Sugar Grove — the heart of Chicago’s Fox Valley. The location draws primarily from ZIP codes 60506, and is convenient for families across Kane County. Whether you live in central Aurora, near the IMSA campus, or out toward the Fox River, Top Driver Aurora is within a short drive.
Top Driver Aurora serves students from one area high school: Illinois Math and Science Academy. The location offers Behind-The-Wheel pickup at this school, so students can be picked up directly from school for their driving lessons rather than coordinating transportation home and then to a separate driving session. Custom pickup arrangements may be available for students attending other area schools — call the central office to ask.
Top Driver Aurora offers Top Driver’s full slate of Illinois programs. Teen driver education is available in four package tiers: Diamond ($1,020), Platinum ($820), Gold ($695 — the most popular tier), and Silver ($595). Adult programs include the Illinois 6-Hour Online Adult Drivers Ed Course ($49), Behind-The-Wheel-Only packages ($600 for 6 hours, $800 for 8 hours), and the Adult Remedial Course ($99) for license reinstatement. Top Driver Aurora also provides road test service for adult students who don’t have a vehicle to use for the official Illinois SoS road test. The Specialized Program for students with ADHD and Other Executive Functioning Disorders is also available at this location for families who need a tailored teaching approach.
Yes. Top Driver Aurora provides complimentary home pickup and dropoff for Behind-The-Wheel sessions for students living in the 60506 ZIP code. Students outside that ZIP code can be picked up at Illinois Math and Science Academy where Top Driver runs pickup routes — or meet their instructor at the Top Driver Aurora classroom on 1500 Sullivan Rd.
Yes. Top Driver is one of the few Illinois driving schools approved as a Cooperative Road Test provider, which means eligible teen students who complete a Top Driver teen driver education program can take their official Secretary of State road test with their Top Driver instructor at the Aurora location — instead of waiting weeks for an appointment at a Driver Services facility. To qualify for the Cooperative Road Test, students must complete all required Behind-The-Wheel hours, pass an in-vehicle pre-test evaluation, and meet the standard Illinois SoS requirements for permit hold time and supervised practice driving (50 hours, including 10 at night).
Top Driver Aurora is staffed by Illinois Secretary of State–licensed driver education instructors with years of experience teaching Fox Valley teens and adults. Recent students have specifically called out instructors Marty and Richard for their patience, clear communication, and ability to keep new drivers calm during stressful first lessons. Every Top Driver instructor at Aurora is trained in the Driver Intelligence™ curriculum and undergoes regular performance evaluations. All training vehicles are equipped with dashcams, providing students, parents, and instructors with a record of every Behind-The-Wheel session.

All training vehicles are equipped with dashcams. Top Driver’s curriculum, called Driver Intelligence™, goes beyond Illinois’s minimum requirements — covering hazard prediction, decision-making frameworks, and post-license skill maintenance.
