ADAP Regulated Programs
ALCOHOL AND DRUG AWARENESS (ADAP) PROGRAM
The Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program (ADAP) is an alcohol and drug course established by the Georgia Department of Education and Georgia Department of Driver Services for the purpose of informing teens of the dangers involved in consuming alcohol or certain drugs in connection with operating a motor vehicle.
In Georgia, teens under the age of 18 are required by law to show proof that they have completed ADAP to obtain their Class D driver’s license. The course is taught at high schools throughout the state.
Individuals interested in becoming ADAP Instructors will be subjected to the following rules and regulations:

Parent ADAP is a separate voluntary component for parental or guardian instruction that provides drug prevention strategies, legal accountability information, an opportunity for questions, and other information on protecting their children from alcohol and drug use.
Parents who complete the online Parent ADAP course may receive a free 3-year non-certified MVR through the DDS Online Services portal.

eADAP is an online version of the alcohol and drug course that is available 24/7/365. This course is designed for those teens unable to take the traditional (classroom) ADAP course through their high school. The Parent eADAP is also available online.
