The classroom portion takes a minimum of 3 weeks to complete.

On the final day, students take a written exam to assess their understanding of the material.

Upon successful completion of the course, All Star Driver Education will issue and upload an official Segment 1 Certificate of Completion to your student portal. In order to qualify for this certificate, students must complete all classroom hours, behind-the-wheel training hours, observation hours and pass the written exam at the end of the classroom portion with a minimum score of 56 correct out of 80 questions.

After receiving a Segment 1 Certificate of Completion, students become eligible to apply for a Level 1 Learner’s License, the first step in Michigan’s three-phase licensing process. For additional details regarding the teen licensing process in Michigan, review Michigan’s Graduated Driver Licensing – A Guide For Parents made available by the MI Sec. of State.

What is Segment 2 Driver Training?

Segment 2 is a 6-hour classroom course required for teens under 18 to get their Level 2 License. This 6-hour course focuses on risk awareness and how to avoid dangerous driving behaviors such as distractions, alcohol and drugs, drowsiness and emotions.

At All Star Driver Education, our main priority is keeping your teen safe on the road.  Segment 2 focuses on developing the knowledge and skills needed for safe driving.  There’s no behind-the-wheel instruction required, but the course does culminate in a written exam. To pass, students are required to score at least 14 out of 20 questions correctly.

This 6-hour Segment 2 class is required, but All Star Driver Education offers two convenient ways to take it:
1. Classroom only: This format is typically scheduled over 3 days with a two-hour in-person classroom instruction each day.
2. Online + Classroom: Many of our Michigan locations offer a hybrid class format with 4 sessions, including 3 virtual two-hour classes and 1 in-person exam.

Michigan Segment 1 FAQ’s

The cost of programs varies by location. Tuition includes classroom instruction, behind-the-wheel training, in-car observation, workbook and final written exam.

Segment 1 is for students under 18 years old. Students 18 and older are recommended to take All Star’s online “All State” class instead. Programs at high schools are open to anyone as long as you are able to travel to the school to attend. To register, you must upload a birth certificate (or passport/state ID) and a signed contract to the student portal before class begins. Uploaded documents may take up to 3 business days for approval, so be sure to submit them early.

Students must attend 24 hours of classroom instruction, 6 two-hour sessions which will include driving and observation, and pass a written exam with at least 56 out of 80 questions correct. Students are allowed three attempts. When everything is completed, a Segment 1 Certificate of Completion will be uploaded to your student portal and emailed within 10 business days.

After Day 1 of class, students will be granted access to schedule their behind the wheel training through the student portal. Students are expected to arrive on time for every scheduled session. If the school district calls a snow day, All Star’s classes and behind the wheel lessons are also canceled. Instructors may contact you if conditions improve.

Virtual students will take their final written exam at the location they selected at the time of enrollment.

No. After Segment 1, you will receive a Segment 1 Certificate of Completion (this is not a drivers license). This certificate is required to apply for a Michigan Level 1 License. You may apply for your Level 1 License at the Secretary of State once you are at least 14 years and 9 months old and at least 6 weeks have passed since you started Segment 1. With a Level 1 License, you must drive with a licensed parent/guardian or an adult 21 or older. You can find additional guidelines by referring to the Michigan Parent Checklist.
