Do I need my learner's permit to start Driver's Ed in Connecticut?
No, you do not need your permit to begin driver's ed. You can start driver's ed on the day you turn 16.
We actually recommend you take a couple of classes before you test for your permit, as the information will help you pass on the first try. You will need your permit before taking any in-car driving lessons.
