How do I know if Florida Traffic Watch is licensed by Florida's DMV to offer driver training courses?

Is it true that my mom or dad can be my driving instructor when I do my driver training instead of a professional driving school instructor like the ones they have at Florida Traffic Watch?

What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Florida Traffic Watch have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?
