FAQs – Safer Streets Minnesota DUI Classes

At Safer Streets Minnesota, we know that navigating a court-ordered DUI class or chemical assessment recommendation can raise a lot of questions. We’ve compiled this FAQ to address the most common concerns about our live online DUI education programs. If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, contact Martin at martin@saferstreetsmn.com or 612-930-7973—we’re here to help you get started with confidence.

Can I complete the DUI class faster than the standard schedule?

Yes, if your state or county approves a faster completion timeline or if there’s no minimum time requirement for the course. For example, our 12-hour Driving with Care Level 1 class is typically spread over six weeks, but it can be completed in as few as two sessions if approved. To arrange this, you’ll need to call us at 612-930-7973, and we’ll set you up for a special accelerated class. Please note: If you request a faster schedule and it turns out your court or agency doesn’t allow it, we’ll enroll you in the standard class schedule and charge a $100 administrative fee for the change. Contact us to confirm eligibility before enrolling.

Safer Streets Minnesota stands out because our classes are live and instructor-led via Zoom, not pre-recorded or self-paced. You’ll engage in real-time with experienced instructors who provide personalized guidance and answer your questions. Our Minnesota state certification ensures nationwide acceptance, and our flexible scheduling makes it easy to fit the classes into your life. Participants often tell us they appreciate the interactive format and the confidence that comes with a rock-solid certificate.

The right class depends on your court sentence or chemical assessment recommendation:

  • 8-Hour Class: Ideal for shorter mandates, often for first-time offenders or basic DMV requirements. Held in one day, every other Saturday.
  • 12-Hour Driving with Care Level 1: For moderate requirements, typically spread over multiple sessions, focusing on accountability and prevention.
  • 24-Hour Driving with Care Level 2: For extensive mandates, often for repeat offenses or high-risk cases, delivered over multiple sessions.

If you’re unsure which class fits your mandate, contact Martin at 612-930-7973 or martin@saferstreetsmn.com. Send us your court documents or assessment details, and we’ll guide you to the correct program.
