DUI Classes: Court-Ordered Alcohol Education Programs
What are DUI Classes?
Court-ordered classes that educate about the consequences of alcohol use and impaired driving.
DUI Programs, sometimes called alcohol education programs, emphasize the legal, personal, and societal consequences of DUI offenses and are often required as part of a sentence or to satisfy DMV conditions. Here’s a closer look at what to expect:
Alcohol Education Can Be Mandatory
If you fail to complete DUI classes by the deadline, you may face additional penalties, such as license suspension or extended probation.
You May Need an Alcohol Assessment
An alcohol assessment is a formal evaluation conducted by a certified provider to review your alcohol use history. The results may be used to recommend further alcohol education or treatment, and you are typically required to pay for this assessment out of pocket.
DUI Class Commitment Varies
The duration and frequency of DUI classes depend on your offense and state regulations. Some providers now offer DUI classes online, but always confirm their acceptance with your court or DMV.
- First-time offenders may be required to complete 12–30 hours of education, often spread over several weeks.
- Repeat offenders might require programs lasting 18–30 months.
Types of DUI Programs Vary
Not all DUI programs are the same, and only courses from approved providers will count toward your requirement. Some programs focus on DUI prevention and legal consequences, while others may incorporate therapy sessions for alcohol dependency.
Action Step: Check with your DMV or contact DUI.org to verify you’re enrolling in an approved program.
