Is National Safety Council certified by the Florida DMV to offer driver training courses?
Although we include National Safety Council in our directory of driving schools for Orlando Florida, we cannot make any assurances about whether or not National Safety Council is certified by the Florida DMV. You should contact National Safety Council directly and ask them if you are thinking about signing up to take their Orlando Florida behind-the-wheel training class.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving supervisor in Florida, so taking a Orlando driver training course like the one National Safety Council offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the Florida DMV or a licensed driver training school like National Safety Council and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.
I can't operate a manual-shift. Will National Safety Council allow me to complete my driver training on an automatic-shift vehicle?
We recommend that you contact National Safety Council and ask them if you can do your behind-the-wheel training using a vehicle that has an automatic shift before signing up to take their driver training course.
What happens to those of us who live in a non-urban area? Will National Safety Council include instruction on how to drive on dirt roads, mountain roads, and other bumpy terrain?
If you live in a remote location, there is a high probability that a local driving school like National Safety Council will either want--or even be required--to tailor their instruction towards driving safely in your particular area.
Now that I'm 14, will Florida allow me to get an instruction permit to drive?
Not likely. Most states require residents to be at least 15 or 15 1/2 years old before applying for a learner's permit. We recommend that your contact the Florida DMV office or a Florida-approved driver training institute such as National Safety Council to learn more about the minimum driving age requirement in Florida.
Do I have to complete a Orlando Florida drivers education classroom course or online course before enrolling in one of National Safety Council's behind-the-wheel training courses?
Each state has its own rules, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a behind-the-wheel training course plus either a defensive driving classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online drivers education course. You may want to ask National Safety Council if they offer one or both programs.
Florida law says that I must enroll in a driver training course in order to get licensed to drive in Orlando Florida. Is this something that National Safety Council can help me with?
Yes, National Safety Council offers the Florida-approved driver training course. For more information about their classes and instruction schedule, please contact National Safety Council directly.
Exactly what type of driver training do I need in Orlando Florida before I can get my Florida driver's license?
The prerequisites for getting a driver's licenses vary from state to state, however most states now require teen-agers who are looking to get their first driver's license to register for a drivers education classroom course as well as a behind-the-wheel training course. We suggest that you contact a local driver training company such as National Safety Council and ask if they offer a Florida-approved behind-the-wheel training course which would fulfill Florida's driver's education requirements.
Is hands-on driver training required in Florida in order to be licensed to operate a motor vehicle?

Am I required to receive my instruction permit in Florida before I am allowed to enroll in a driver training course like the one National Safety Council gives its students?
Laws vary from state to state, however most states do require that you receive an learner's permit before you can enroll in a driver training course like the one that National Safety Council gives its students.
