9 Questions To Ask A Driving School
01/
What Kind Of Cars Are Used For Driving Instruction?
Although the Classroom Session is important, we believe the Driving Instruction portion of the course You may have noticed that most school websites don't show their vehicles. That's because many use older cars with magnetic signs on the doors and rear panel, and believe it or not, one school even requires instructors to use their own personal vehicle.

-
How old are the vehicles?​
-
How many miles on the vehicles?
-
Who carries the insurance and with what coverage?
-
Who licenses the car?
-
Is everything in working order?

Do You Utilize Dash Cams In Your Vehicles?
We employ dual-view video cameras that not only record each and every lesson, but also allow a live view of a lesson in progress. The dual view provides not only the outside view of the road ahead, but also the inside view of both the student and instructor. Our cameras also include GPS tracking, giving us the ability to know the location of every vehicle at any time.
03/
Will My Student Receive The Full 6 Hours Of Driving Instruction?
Although it's a State requirement for most schools to give 6-hours of driving instruction, Colleges are exempt, and may arbitrarily determine how many hours a student drives, which can be as little as 4 hours. We believe the driving portion of the course is by far the most important, and that every student, no matter what their level of driving experience, should receive a full 6-hours of comprehensive driving instruction.
04/
When Will My Student Receive Their Instruction Permit?
We are the only school where students receive their Driving Instruction Permit the day of class, so there is no waiting time to start practice driving. There's no waiting for Permits to arrive in the mail, and no need to come back to pick up the Permit in person. It is the Driving Instruction Permit that can be exchanged for the State Permit at the Driver License Exam Station, without having to take the written test.
04/
Can My Student Enroll And Schedule Drives Online?
We believe that your customer experience is very important, and in that regard convenience is everything. That's why you can browse our Class schedules, pick the date you want to attend, and get enrolled online in 5 minutes or less. Once Class is completed, your student can click the "Schedule Driving Lessons" button, choose a Driving Instructor whose availability best matches theirs, and schedule their lessons.
04/
When Will My Student Get Their Certificate Of Completion?
We know that a lot of students are anxious to get their license as soon as they have finished our Course, which is why we present them with their Certificate Of Completion immediately at the end of final Driving Lesson. It is that Certificate than can be taken to the Drivers License Exam Station and exchanged for the appropriate Restricted License, without having to take the Driving Test.
