What are DUI Classes?
Court-ordered classes educate about the consequences of alcohol use and impaired driving.
Also known as DUI schools, DUI programs, drunk-driving education or alcohol education programs, these courses teach offenders about the consequences of alcohol use. Judges often impose these classes in place of harsher penalties. Knowing a few key things about DUI classes can help you get the most out of yours:
Education Can Be Mandatory
If imposed by the DMV or the court, you have to complete a DUI program in order to keep or regain your license or complete your sentence.
You May Need an Alcohol Assessment
An alcohol assessment is where a certified provider reviews your history and reports to the court on your alcohol use. You may have to obtain and pay for one.
Class Commitment Varies
Depending on your state and sentence, DUI classes can take just a few weeks to complete, or as long as 30 months. Some providers offer DUI classes online.
Types of Class Vary
Only certain classes from approved providers will get you credit. Check with your DMV, or contact DUI.org, to confirm you’re in the correct programs.
