Getting my liscense in las vegas?

Question

I just moved to LV from NH and Im wondering what the laws are like for me to get a liscense. In NH you needed to take a month-long drivers ed class to get a "green card" before you could go take the drivers test, which i never took. The other driving law in NH was that you could drive once you turned 15 1/2 as long as you were with someone over 21. I just turned 16 and have been driving in NH since janurary and Im wondering if that means anything in nevada and what else i need to do to be able to get my liscense. Any input is appreciated because i really want/need to get my drivers liscense soon. Thanks

Nearly all Nevada beginning drivers under 18 must complete a driver education course. You can enroll at age 15. Exceptions are not made for home-schooled students.

You must complete a course if one is offered within a 30-mile radius of your residential address or if you can complete a course online. The course is not a requirement to obtain an instruction permit. It is a requirement for a driver license.

You have the choice of courses offered through your public school district or those offered by private Nevada professional driving schools. The course consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction. Some private schools also offer a course consisting of 15 hours of classroom instruction and 5 hours of behind-the-wheel training. Schools must be specifically approved for this by the DMV.

See Professional Drive Schools for a list of licensed schools. The Department of Motor Vehicles licenses and monitors professional driving schools but does not regulate schedules or pricing.

Any professional driving school offering courses by television, Internet or other means must be specifically licensed for this by the Nevada DMV for the course to be accepted. Your local school district may or may not offer 'distance learning' courses by television, Internet or other means.

All schools issue a Certificate of Completion which must be presented to the DMV when you apply for your full license.
