Longmont Driving School of Boulder is a driving school in Boulder, CO, located at 235 Golden Rod Ct Suite A. It is a state-certified provider that serves teens and adults learning to drive. The school offers a complete instruction program that includes a 30-hour classroom class, a permit test, and six hours of behind-the-wheel driving lessons. For students who only need the classroom component and the written permit test, a separate package is available. Behind-the-wheel instruction is provided by experienced, certified, and background-checked local instructors. The curriculum covers driving in parking lots, residential areas, cities, on highways, and on mountain roads. Pre- and post-drive meetings with parents or guardians are included in the driving lessons, along with student paperwork reflection to identify skills for future improvement.
The 30-hour classroom instruction is conducted via live interactive Webex sessions, a format used since March 2020. These classes run from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm and meet the same requirements and interactions as in-person instruction. The school offers upcoming 30-hour classes in August, October, and December of 2026. The permit test is the Colorado DMV written test taken at the school location, typically taking about 20 minutes. The license test is a driving test to obtain a license, described as a low-stress road test, which the DMV does not provide. The school is locally owned and operated, emphasizing investment in the community and local economy. It is the winner of the 2025 Longmont CommunityVotes. The business holds a rating of 3.90 based on customer reviews.
The school provides a structured approach to driver education, combining classroom theory with practical road experience. The behind-the-wheel program is mandatory for applicants under age 16 and a half. Students can specify their desired drive focus, ranging from basic car control and residential driving to navigating specific highways and higher traffic situations. The school maintains a local presence in Boulder, serving the needs of residents seeking to obtain their driving permits and licenses.
