Is Amigo School of Driving certified by the Florida DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?
Although we include Amigo School of Driving in our directory of driving schools for Orlando Florida, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not Amigo School of Driving is certified by the Florida DMV.

Could I just have my mother or father give me my behind-the-wheel training instead of paying money to attend a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which permit you to complete your behind-the-wheel training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that new drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you check with your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
What happens if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift vehicle? Will Amigo School of Driving allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift vehicle?
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating any type of automobile--stick-shift or automatic-shift! However, if you prefer to complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Amigo School of Driving and let them know before you sign up to take their driver training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.

Now that I'm 14, will Florida allow me to get an instruction permit to drive?

You may want to call a driving instruction company like Amigo School of Driving and find out if they offer either (or both) of these programs.
