Drug & Alcohol Education Program

DRIVERS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES RELOCATING TO MARYLAND

SP Driving Academy offers the 3-Hour Alcohol & Drug Education Program (ADEP). This three-hour class is required by the Maryland MVA for drivers who have a valid driver's license from another country and want to apply for a Maryland driver's license.

We offer the Online Version of the 3-Hour Alcohol & Drug Education Program. The cost of the program is $95. A $20 fee will be charged upon retake of the exam.

Once you have completed the program, you will be awarded the Alcohol and Drug Education Certificate.

What is the cost of the program, and are there any refunds?

The cost of the program is $95.00. Payment is due at the time you appear for exam.

In the event you become ill and must leave the class, SP Driving Academy can either re-schedule you for another class date or offer you a refund. Once you have taken the exam, you are not eligible for a refund.
