Driver’s Manual/Reexamination Course (Failed 3 times at DMV)

* Offered multiple times a week at two convenient locations in Northern Virginia
* Issued the Reexamination Certificate (DTS-C) same day; return back to DMV

Driver’s license applicants, who fail the knowledge exam OR road skills test three (3) times at the DMV, must successfully complete the applicable knowledge OR in-vehicle component of a driver education course before they can take the examination a fourth time at DMV.

You must obtain the certificate of completion to return to DMV for testing, regardless of age. For minors, this requirement is NOT removed by reaching 18 years of age. This course is mandatory for those who have failed three times and still wish to obtain a learner’s permit/driver’s license in Virginia.

You will have 1 year to use the issued certificate of completion. If you do NOT use your certificate within the year you will need to RETAKE and PAY for the course again to be issued a NEW certificate of completion.
