What “12-Hour DUI Classes” Means in Colorado (Short Version)
In Colorado, a 12-hour DUI requirement almost always refers to Level 1 DUI Education.
That means:
- 12 total hours of education
- No therapy component
- Completion through a state-approved program
- Acceptance by the court, probation, or DMV is required
All 12 hours must be completed for the program to count.
Who Is Required to Complete 12-Hour DUI Classes?
You may be required to complete the 12-hour program if:
- This is a qualifying DUI or DWAI offense

- A court or probation officer ordered Level 1 education
- The DMV requires it for license reinstatement
Your paperwork may say:
- “12 hours of DUI education”

These usually mean the same requirement.
Can 12-Hour DUI Classes Be Completed Online?
