Georgia Joshua's Law Providers - DDS-Certified Online Courses
Choosing a provider for Georgia's Joshua's Law 30-hour course starts with one question: does this school hold a current Georgia DDS driver-training certification? This page compares the two providers this site links as affiliate partners, plus a longer list of other providers that self-report Joshua's Law approval, none of which is confirmed against DDS's own certified-school roster. This site may earn a commission on some links below; see the affiliate disclosure.
Which Providers Does This Site Link as Affiliate Partners?
Two providers on this site, Aceable and IDriveSafely, both self-report a Georgia DDS driver-training certification number on their own course pages and are the only providers this site links as paid affiliate partners.
| Provider | Self-reported DDS number | Price | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aceable | DT000691 (posted on the provider's own page) | Not published as a flat price (percent-off promotion) | Aceable Georgia Joshua's Law course |
| IDriveSafely | DT 512 | $29.95 offer / $39.95 regular | IDriveSafely Georgia Joshua's Law course |
Prices are set by each provider and change; check the provider's page before paying.
Both brands are part of the same corporate family (Aceable, AceableAgent, DriversEd.com, and IDriveSafely) and share one affiliate program; see the affiliate disclosure for how this site may earn a commission on these links, which never changes the price you pay. That shared ownership does not change the fact that each brand runs its own Georgia course page and its own self-reported certification number.
How Do I Verify a Provider's DDS Certification Before Enrolling?
Ask any Georgia Joshua's Law provider for its DDS certification number, then confirm that number matches the school's current status through Georgia DDS directly, since a self-reported number on a marketing page is not regulator confirmation.
A completion certificate from a school that is not currently DDS-certified does not satisfy the Joshua's Law requirement, and per a 2025 DDS press release, classes taken at an uncertified school can delay license issuance or reinstatement, and DDS will not credit the driver-education requirement. Confirming certification status before paying, not after, is the single step that most protects a family's money and time.
Why Isn't Any Provider on This Page Marked as Regulator-Confirmed?
Georgia DDS's certified-school locator is an interactive tool requiring a manual county selection, not a static list, so no provider here matches a DDS-issued record without a manual search; each is confirmed only by its own certification claim.
No provider on this page is regulator-confirmed by a DDS-issued record, only by its own self-reported certification claim. Georgia DDS's certified-school locator requires selecting a program type and county before it returns results, rather than offering a single static list, so a family has to query it directly for a specific school to get a DDS-issued match. DDS's regulated-programs page links to the locator for that purpose. A provider's own claim of certification is a starting point to verify, not the final word.
What Other Providers Self-Report Joshua's Law Approval?
Thirteen additional providers self-report Georgia DDS Joshua's Law course approval on their own pages, but none of them is an affiliate partner of this site and none is DDS-roster-confirmed either.
| Provider | Note |
|---|---|
| DriversEd.com | Posts DDS license number DT000397 on its own site. |
| National Highway Safety Administration (nhsa.com) | Commercial brand, unrelated to the federal NHTSA; posts license number LDT 708 on its own site. |
| Safe2Drive | $29.95 on the provider's own page; no DDS license number shown there. |
| DmvEdu.org | Posts DDS license number 4365 on its own site; $44.95 on that page. |
| Just Drive Right | Posts DDS license number DT 549 on its own site; $45.95 on that page. |
| Get Drivers Ed (getdriversed.com) | Page title reads "Georgia DDS-Approved Online Driver's Ed"; approval claim is the vendor's own. |
| American Safety Council | GA driver education / online Joshua's Law course page; no price shown. |
| Certus | Joshua's Law certificate course page. |
| TrafficSchool.com | GA drivers-ed course selection page. |
| Driver's Ed Direct | GA online drivers education page. |
| JoshuasLaw.com | Dedicated GA Joshua's Law brand; posts license number LDT 556 on its own site; not published on the provider's site - the page's "$150" figure is Georgia's now-repealed driver-education tax credit, not the course price (see the cost comparison). |
| 1st Atlanta DUI School | Title reads "State-Approved Georgia Joshua's Law Online Course"; also publishes Joshua's Law guides. |
| Barber's Driving School | Georgia driving school offering classroom and behind-the-wheel instruction, not an online-only seller. |
These thirteen are named for comparison context only; none is hyperlinked here, since none has an affiliate relationship with this site, and none can be confirmed as DDS-certified from a public DDS record, the same as Aceable and IDriveSafely. JoshuasLaw.com's own site footer states it operates "under the auspices of American Safety Council," so it and American Safety Council (which also appears separately below) are not fully independent competitors.
What Should I Compare Beyond DDS Certification?
Beyond DDS certification, compare each provider's price, self-paced flexibility, student help desk availability required under Georgia rule, mobile compatibility, and whether it bundles the 6-hour certified behind-the-wheel option for Method 3 completion.
Every DDS-certified virtual school is required to offer a student help desk under Georgia Administrative Code 375-5-2-.11, so ask about its hours before enrolling rather than assuming support is available around the clock. See the full priced comparison and behind-the-wheel options for how a bundled Method 3 package compares to arranging the driving component separately.

Frequently asked questions
Is Aceable the same company as IDriveSafely?
Yes, both are part of the same corporate family, though each runs its own Georgia course page and its own self-reported DDS certification number.
Does a self-reported DDS certification number guarantee the school is currently certified?
No - it means the provider claims a number on its own page; confirming current status directly with Georgia DDS is the only way to know for certain.
Why are only two providers linked, when thirteen are named on this page?
Aceable and IDriveSafely are the only two providers with an active, joinable affiliate partnership; the rest are named for comparison only.
Can I still enroll with one of the unlinked providers?
Yes - this site earns no commission on that enrollment, and that provider's DDS certification status is no more listed on a public DDS record than it is for the linked providers; check current status with DDS directly before enrolling with any provider named on this page.
Does the price shown here include the behind-the-wheel option?
Not necessarily - see the cost comparison for whether a listed price covers the classroom course only or a bundled Method 3 package.
