Aceable

Aceable is an education technology company that sells state-approved online licensing, certification and continuing education courses. Its catalog spans four verticals: driver's education and defensive driving (Aceable), real estate pre-licensing and renewal (AceableAgent), insurance pre-licensing and continuing education in life, health, property and casualty lines (Aceable Insurance), and mortgage education. Courses are delivered mobile-first and are designed to be completed on any device, with progress syncing across devices, interactive lessons, quizzes, videos, unlimited practice tests and permit test prep content.

The company states it is accredited in more than 40 states and reports that 20 million students have been licensed through its courses, with roughly 1.5 million students per year. Its driver's education courses carry individual state approvals, including Texas (TDLR Provider #116), California DMV (Provider #E2017), Illinois (Course #3352), Florida TLSAE (Code #NR2), Ohio (Course #1462), Nevada (DMV School License #PRDS00046773) and licensure by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Its Android drivers ed and test prep app has surpassed 500,000 downloads.

Aceable's stated approach relies on in-house learning-experience and instructional-design teams that build short, bite-sized lessons, plus adaptive study features such as "Ace Mode," which tracks weak areas and generates personalized practice sessions, and an "Ace" study assistant. The company says its students outperform competitors on pass rates and describes AI-driven adaptive education as its central product direction.

Founding story

Founder and CEO Blake Garrett started Aceable at the Capital Factory accelerator in Austin, motivated by the view that licensing education was broken; the company's about page cites 2013 for that start. Before Aceable, Garrett spent six years at Ernst & Young. The first product was a Texas parent-taught driver's education course delivered through a single app in a single state.

Business model

Aceable sells course enrollments directly to individual learners, typically as one-time purchases of state-specific pre-licensing, licensing, continuing education or exam-prep packages, with prices for listed driving courses ranging from about $20 to $74 with promotional discounts, and bundled offerings such as state "All-in-One" insurance packages. The mobile apps include in-app purchases.

Course and package fees paid by students, including individual state courses, multi-course bundles (for example all-in-one insurance pre-license packages) and continuing education renewals; app distribution includes in-app purchases.

Traction

Aceable reports 20 million+ students licensed, about 1.5 million students per year, accreditation in 40+ states, 4 verticals, and more than 2 million driving-course success stories. Its site shows a 4.8/5 rating across 45,457 reviews overall and 10,742 reviews for the insurance business, and its Android app lists 500K+ downloads with more than 1 million students cited for permit and license courses. Signalbase lists the company at roughly 350 employees.

Latest developments

In March 2026, press coverage reported a $50 million Series C intended to fund national expansion and additional certification verticals, citing more than 1.5 million users annually and over 20 million people reached. The company was named to Newsweek's 2025 list of America's Best Online Platforms, published a 2025 growth retrospective describing building, expanding and scaling, promotes Ace Mode adaptive exam prep for Texas insurance licensing, and continues shipping Android app updates including a Question of the Day feature and accessibility fixes.
