Cumberland County Schools will no longer allow a student to enroll in a Driver Education course if the student has previously attended more than 4 hours of the classroom phase and dropped out or failed the course.
By North Carolina Law, students who are 18 years old or older are not required to take Driver Education. They may apply for a learner’s permit or license at any NC DMV office. However, they may register for the 30 hours of classroom instruction but must secure an NC Learner’s Permit before they are scheduled for the 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction.
