About Us
NHSA Drivers Ed
Notice: NHSA (National Highway Safety Administration) provides state-approved online driver education courses designed to help new and experienced drivers meet their legal requirements quickly and confidently. We are a private organization committed to education and safety—not a government agency—and we are not affiliated with NHTSA or any federal organization.
Our Goal
Our goal at NHSA Drivers Ed is to give our students a solid foundation of driving knowledge and skills that make safe drivers. Through the use of videos, animations, dynamic quizzes, interactive games and storytelling, we help students remain engaged in our courses as they become safe, responsible and confident drivers.

Our Promise of Excellent Service and Constant Improvement
Not everyone thinks the same, that’s why we encourage everyone who enrolls in our courses to provide us feedback. In all of our courses, students will have access to the Contact Us page to report a problem or make a suggestion. We listen to those problems and suggestions as our way of constantly improving our courses. Along with this continual improvement of our courses we make regular updates to reflect new laws and procedures and to include revised content such as new videos and animations.
Our customer service team understands that no matter where you live, getting a driver's license can be a confusing and frustrating process. Our focus is on understanding our customers' needs and providing fast, helpful answers to their questions. Laws and requirements vary from state to state, and from one year to the next, but we work diligently to maintain an up-to-date understanding of driver education policy so we can be a resource for our valued customers.
