Colorado appointment guide
Colorado DMV appointments for permit and testing
Colorado separates state driver-license office services from third-party drive skills testing. Use the state appointment page for the permit/license transaction; use an approved driving school for the skills test.

State driver-license office visit
First-time permit issuance is handled through Colorado's driver-license system. Pre-register and use the appointment scheduler for the appropriate service when the state page directs you to do so.
Knowledge test may happen before the office visit
Colorado offers an @Home driving knowledge test and also allows approved in-person routes, so the testing step and credential-issuance step can be separate.
Drive skills tests are not booked through the state appointment page
Colorado DMV directs applicants to approved third-party schools for drive skills tests; state driver license offices do not conduct those road tests.
