DUI School in Nevada is a mandatory requirement for individuals convicted of driving under the influence. These schools provide classes to fulfill DUI sentencing requirements, and it's crucial to confirm with the court that the chosen school is acceptable before enrolling. These DUI courses are specifically for DUI offenses and do not fulfill requirements for other traffic violations, demerit point reductions, or general driver training; those require separate programs. While the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) licenses and monitors these schools, they do not regulate pricing or schedules, and the listings provided are a courtesy without any endorsement or recommendation. Complaints about a school should be directed to the DMV's Compliance Enforcement Division. Individuals are not restricted to attending a school in their city of residence.
In early 2024, Nevada significantly updated its DUI school regulations, upgrading curriculum requirements and the quality of instruction. DUI schools must now adhere to these new standards. Specifically, programs must provide an evidence-based early intervention program, increase the required educational component from 8 to 12 hours, deliver coursework synchronously (meaning real-time interaction, not self-paced online modules), and employ instructors trained and qualified to deliver this upgraded curriculum.
Currently, the DMV has identified two curricula that meet these revised guidelines: Change Companies’ Interactive Journaling and Prevention Research Institute’s (PRI) Prime For Life. DUI schools may adopt one of these programs. The DMV will also provide guidance on how schools can develop their own curricula and ensure instructor qualifications meet the new standards, provided the curriculum is comparable to Change Companies or PRI. Prospective students must verify that the chosen school meets these new requirements and is acceptable to the court before enrolling. The type of course offered by each school is indicated in their listing. It's the individual's responsibility to select a qualified program that aligns with court requirements.
