Frequently Asked Questions
The Learn to Drive program includes 10 hours of Behind the Wheel instruction, which consists of 5 two-hour lessons. Students are picked up and dropped off safely at home, school, work, or any specified location within the majority of Polk County.
Our lessons are Monday – Friday, with our earliest start time at 9 am and latest start time at 3:30 pm. Saturdays are limited availability and at instructors’ discretion.
Students will be using our driver’s education vehicles, equipped with dual mirrors and dual brakes.
We start with the basics of driving, where students learn the skills to operate a motor vehicle. As the students begin to develop their abilities, they move on to more advanced driving skills, including interstate driving and lane changing. The instructors also prepare the students for the road test, teaching them the road test procedures so they know exactly what they will be tested on.
On the last lesson, the student will be picked up as normal, and they will drive here to the school for a final road test prep before they take our road test. We are a third party administrator of the road test and offer our own state-approved road test course with state-licensed examiners. Students will have the comfort and ease of taking a road test with our friendly staff, using the same vehicle they have been practicing with during their lessons. We are the only third party road test administrator in Polk County, giving our students an advantage over other schools.
Once the student completes and passes the road test, we give a certificate that will allow them to get in line at any Tax Collector’s office in Polk County without an appointment. You will be able to skip the long wait at the Tax Collector’s office with our fast pass! The certificate must be presented at one of the five Polk County Tax Collector’s offices (Lakeland, Lake Wales, Bartow, Davenport, Lake Alfred) Monday – Friday between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm, so long as it is not a holiday.
