Fil-Am Driving SchoolFAQ's
Fil-Am Driving School is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Fil-Am Driving School is a certified school in California?
While we include a list of driver training schools on our website for your convenience, we cannot guarantee that every single one of them is currently licensed by the California DMV. We suggest you contact Fil-Am Driving School directly or the California DMV to find out if Fil-Am Driving School is a fully-accredited driver training school.
Do you know if I can do my driver training with my mother or father instead of attending a behind-the-wheel training course like the ones offered by Fil-Am Driving School?
Some states allow teen-agers to do their driver training with their parents instead of attending a professional driving school. We recommend that you contact the California DMV or Fil-Am Driving School directly to find out if California allows parent-taught behind-the-wheel training.
Do I need to tell Fil-Am Driving School that I need to train with an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know how to operate a stick-shift vehicle.
Most new drivers don't know how to operate either a manual-shift OR and automatic-shift automobile! We recommend that you ask Fil-Am Driving School if you can complete your driver training using an automatic-shift vehicle before you register for their driver training course.
I live in a small rural town, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my behind-the-wheel training with Fil-Am Driving School include being taught how to drive in remote areas? Or do they just offer training for city driving?
Most local driving schools will likely want their students to know how to drive safely in the local area. Therefore, chances are good that the behind-the-wheel training you receive from Fil-Am Driving School will include handling unpaved roads and mountain driving.
I'm turning 14 in a few days. Can I get a instruction permit to drive in California after my 14th birthday?
Most likely, no. Most states (though not all) have laws which require that you be at least 15 or 15 1/2 before to be eligible to apply for an instruction permit. Nevertheless, you may wish to contact the California DMV office or a California-certified driving school such as Fil-Am Driving School to find out for certain what the minimum driving age is in your local area.
Can I take Fil-Am Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Elk Grove California drivers education classroom course or online course?
It depends on what California's laws prescribe. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a drivers education classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on California's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved driver training course. We recommend that you contact Fil-Am Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
California law says that I must successfully complete a behind-the-wheel training course in order to get licensed to drive in Elk Grove California. Is this something that Fil-Am Driving School can help me with?
Yes, Fil-Am Driving School offers the California-approved hands-on driver training course. For more information about their classes and instruction schedule, please contact Fil-Am Driving School directly.
What do I need to do to get a California drivers license in Elk Grove California?
Most states require that teen-agers who are applying for their first driver's license complete both a drivers education classroom course and a driver training course. Fil-Am Driving School may be able to help you fulfill the behind-the-wheel training portion in California. Please contact Fil-Am Driving School for more information.
Is a driver training course required in Elk Grove California for me to get a drivers license?
The law in California requires that all drivers complete a behind-the-wheel training program as part of their driver education. You should contact Fil-Am Driving School directly to find out about the types of courses they offer.
Is it okay for me to register for a driver training class in California before I receive my California learners permit to drive?
Probably not. Most states require first-time drivers to have their learners permit before they are allowed to enroll in a behind-the-wheel training program. You should contact a driving instruction company like Fil-Am Driving School and request more information.
