How does the online Drivers Ed course work?
Our online https://pagosadriving.costechonline.com/ program is a state-mandated 30 hours long. The information in our course is separated into 10 Modules, each covering a specific topic regarding driving in Colorado. Once you complete each chapter, you’ll be given a multiple-choice quiz. You’ll need to pass each chapter quiz with a score of 80% or greater; if you don’t get this score after two attempts you’ll need to review the chapter before moving on. At the end of the course, you’ll be given a final exam. If you pass the final with a score of 80% or greater, you’ll complete the course. You will have unlimited attempts to retake the final should you not achieve a score of 80%, but after the second attempt, you’ll be required to review the entire course (at no additional charge) before any additional attempts.
