Access Certified Driving SchoolFAQ's
Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-licensed by the California DMV to offer driver training courses in California?
The driving school directory on our website is for your convenience only, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that every driving school listed is currently licensed to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in California. We suggest you contact the California DMV to make sure a particular driver training school is certified before you register for their driving course.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my behind-the-wheel training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required behind-the-wheel training in order to obtain a driver's license. However many states do not allow any type of substitution for enrolling in a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course. We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding behind-the-wheel training.
Do I need to tell Access Certified Driving School that I need to train with an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know how to drive a stick-shift car.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a stick-shift OR and automatic-shift vehicle! We recommend that you ask Access Certified Driving School if you can complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you enroll in their driver training course.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are dirt roads and rugged terrain all around my house. How do I know if Access Certified Driving School will train me on how to drive in a remote area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
Since Access Certified Driving School is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Access Certified Driving School will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on bumpy terrain. If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Access Certified Driving School to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you register with them.
If I'm 14, can I get a driver's permit to drive in California?
Possibly. However, you should be aware that most states require you to be at least 15½ years old before you can get an instruction permit. We recommend that you contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a certified driving school such as Access Certified Driving School to find out exactly what the minimum age requirement is in California.
Do I have to complete a San Jose California drivers education classroom course or online course before signing up to take one of Access Certified Driving School's behind-the-wheel training courses?

You may want to ask Access Certified Driving School if they offer one or both programs.
