Certified Driving SchoolFAQ's
Are all the driving schools listed on your website fully-licensed by the Indiana DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in Indiana?
The driving school directory on our website is for your convenience only, and we cannot absolutely guarantee that every driving school listed is currently accredited to offer driving training courses in Indiana. We suggest you contact the Indiana DMV to make sure a particular driver training school is licensed before you register for their driving course.
Will the Indiana DMV allow my parents to supervise my driving practice instead of requiring me to take a behind-the-wheel training course at a state-approved driving school?
Possibly. Some states will allow your parents to supervise your driving practice as a substitute to taking a driver training course with a professional driving instructor. You will need to contact the Indiana DMV to find out if your driver training may be done by your parents in Indiana.
What if I don't know how to drive a vehicle with a stick-shift? Does Certified Driving School have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll let me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a manual-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle! However, if you have a preference as to a stick or an automatic, you probably should call Certified Driving School to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your signing up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.
What happens to those of us who live in a non-urban area? Will Certified Driving School include instruction on how to drive on dirt roads, mountain roads, and other bumpy terrain?
