Consumer Ed

Consumer Ed® was developed by the Georgia Department of Law’s Consumer Protection Division to educate consumers and help them make informed decisions when it comes to buying a car or home, dealing with credit and debt, making home repairs and improvements, managing money, and avoiding identity theft and scams.  The information contained in the pages of this website will help you avoid common pitfalls and walk you through major purchase decisions so that you don’t get overwhelmed or make a decision that may not be in your best interest. 

Driving Practice Tests

Whether you’re interested in obtaining a driver’s license, motorcycle license or endorsement, or a commercial driver’s license (CDL), the first step is to pass a written knowledge test. You can find the manuals for a driver’s license, motorcycle license, and CDL, along with a series of practice tests. There are practice tests for each type of license, designed to help you pass your knowledge test. Includes an exam simulator, a practice test that closely resembles the real thing.

Entrepreneurial Learning Intitiative

Rather than focusing on Silicon Valley high-growth entrepreneurs, the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program enables you to learn directly from first-hand wisdom and insights gathered from everyday entrepreneurs - those who started with little or nothing yet managed to succeed. For example, you will learn from entrepreneurs like 1-800-GOT-JUNK founder Brian Scudamore who will describe how with little more than a used pickup truck and a few hundred dollars, he transformed a simple idea into a global brand.
