How to unlock the Driver's Ed achievement in World of Tanks - Definitive Guide

The training is accessible after starting up the game for the first time and selecting to "Play Game" from the main menu where you can select either choose the minigame, server, or to play the main game.
Then on the next screen, choose "Proving Grounds" to access the training modes.
Now select "Tutorials" to the left of all the tanks at the bottom of the screen.

There are 5 different training options. You only need to do the first one "Basic Training" for the achievement.
There are 4 steps that the game pretty much talks you through:
1. Vehicle Control Basics: for me, the hardest part I had was actually learning how to drive in a straight line. The cn_LS controls ALL directions of movement, so you have to push exactly in the straight direction of up or down otherwise you'll be turning all over the map!
2.Firing and Destroying Enemies: This is simply point your gun at the enemy and pull the cn_RT. Note, you DO NOT have to be in the circled area to kill the enemy--it will go to next checkpoint if you kill the enemy. Another very handy tip! Wait for the gun turret to turn, then press cn_RB while the aiming circle on the screen is aiming at or close to the enemy tank and your gun will auto-lock onto it! Now, after reloading, you can just press cn_RT without actually aiming and your gun will take out the tank almost without you doing anything.
3. Penetration Zones: Intro to Tank Armor 101. You're up against a Tier 8 German tank, which has a TON of armor on the front. You can simply press cn_RB while looking at it again though, then drive around beside or behind it and fire away!
4. View Range and Leading Targets: This was interesting--in the old Training course, the previous tank's gun fired too slow to use cn_RB. I found that with the M4A3E8 you can use cn_RB no problem to get the kill. You might want to actually aim manually though for practice.

Complete those 4 steps in less than 20 minutes and you get 6,000 silver, 250 gold, and 300 free tank XP! Enjoy!

Can you not visit the Training if you've somehow been tossed into the game without being able to choose it? I see no "Training" beside the row of tanks I have available.

You should be able to press cn_start, then choose an option that will give you choices one of which leads to the Proving Grounds/Training. Please let me know if that doesn't work! I'll try to load up the game when I get a chance and see what exactly you have to press.

You should also be able to access the Training by simply restarting the game and relogging in, following my steps above?

I log in, choose Play Game, it loads up on the NA East Server. Then it shows me 4 choices, Multiplayer, Platoon, Team Training, and Proving Grounds. Once I choose Proving Grounds it shows along the bottom, 4 tanks, a Buy a Vehicle space, and a Buy a Slot space. There is no "Training" option on my screen.

If while on that screen I hit the Menu button, it pulls up a screen with an option on the bottom that says "Leave Training" which is "Abandon training features designed to familiarize new players with World of Tanks". But like in the video's I see here, there is no "Training" beside the row of tanks in my garage.

Ok, so I had to chose the option that said "Leave Training" from the menu I mentioned before the "Training" tile would appear on the tank list in Proving Grounds. Likely if I had done that earlier it would have saved us both some time figuring it out. Thank you however. :)

I think this is discontinued (Proving Grounds removed). The few who unlocked it recently imported their old 360 profiles, I guess

Can someone mark this as discontinued/unobtainable? It’s a pain to see it in my “next achievements”.

On February 15, 2022 they added back 'Training Missions'. Fully completing the only available one (Vietnam: Seek and Destroy) does NOT unlock the achievement. Still unobtainable for "new" players…

*EDIT*: They fixed this achievement with the April 19, 2022 patch. You need to complete the Vietnam: Seek and Destroy training mission to unlock it.

They must've changed it somehow, I'm going to try loading it up here in a few minutes. Did you try choosing a tank and trying to battle while in the "Training" area?

Ok, so I logged in and was able to look--at the bottom of your screen to the left of all your tanks do you not see something called "Tutorials"? That's the same thing, they might've just changed the word recently. You just need to choose that option.

Training is very simple to complete and worth doing to earn some free silver to use on upgrading your tanks.

From the main menu press cn_back and choose 'Proving Grounds' and select 'Training' and follow the instructions in game, you will be tasked with how to move your turret, control your tank, aim your turret and destroy enemies.

Wont take you longer than 5mins.

NutriWhip confirms that you do not need to watch the videos for this achievement.

Here's a video of the tutorial
