- Footnote 14: In Idaho, license applicants younger than 17 must have completed driver education. Eligible students may receive the in-car observation and behind-the-wheel instruction components from a qualifying parent or guardian. There are three classes of learner's permits — a training instruction permit for people 14, 6 months taking driver education; a supervised instruction permit for practice driving with a nonprofessional supervisor; and an instruction permit for people younger than 17 who have completed driver education and supervised driving or for people 17 and older without either driver education or supervised driving. our reading
