Malheur ESD’s program provides teens with classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction. Our Traffic Safety Education course is designed to teach the skills, knowledge, judgment, and attitudes essential for safe and skillful driving. Driver Ed classes are 10 weeks of online instruction, 6 hours behind-the-wheel driving, 6 hours of observation in the car, and an additional 5 hours of driving with a qualified driver. Summer classes may be conducted over a shorter period of time with longer hours.

The Oregon DMV will waive the Driving Test for all 15-17 year old teen students who successfully complete this ODOT approved Driver Education course. The provisional driver license will still be obtained through DMV. All other licensing requirements will apply.

Attention: Instructors Needed!  

Please contact Jodi Westerberg and visit the Instructor Information Page if you are interested in becoming a Driver's Ed Instructor. The next Instructor Training Course will begin Saturday, April 19th and go through May 18th, at Malheur Education Service District.  To register go to Schedule of Courses - Western Oregon University . Please note Malheur ESD may be able to reimburse some/all of the costs involved in completing the course, upon hiring.


Upcoming Student Driver Course

We are currently providing in person Driver's Ed courses. However, due to a limited number of instructors we can only accept 24 students per course. There is a wait list for upcoming courses and students will be added on a first come, first serve basis. At this point in time, we are about one year out. Please contact Jodi Westerberg, 541-473-4821 to have your student placed on the wait list or for additional information.
