Find a Driving School

Important tips for choosing a driver education program

We recommend choosing a driving school that focuses on developing lifelong skills like S.P.I.D.E.R. — instead of a less expensive option that is just focused on passing the driving test.

When deciding on a driver training program, here are some important questions to ask:

• What Training Method are they using?
  Does the school teach the S.P.I.D.E.R. Method™ based curriculum, or does each instructor have their own approach?
• How are their instructors trained?
• Are they accredited by a local licensing agency?
  In most states driving schools need to be accredited by a local regulator like a DMV, Department of Education, Department of Transportation, etc.
• What professional associations do they belong to?
• What is the tenure of the instructor that will be assigned to you?
• How old are their driver training vehicles?
• Do they offer an online or blended drivers ed program?
