issued  to a minor seventeen years of age who has successfully completed
a driver education course approved by the state education department and

of completion of the minimum hours of supervised driving as required  in

driver's school instructor providing behind the wheel training in such a
course,  provided  such operation is in accordance with the rules estab-
