FAQs

Will complimentary home pick-up still be offered for behind the wheel sessions?

Home pickup will be temporarily suspended to maximize availability. All behind the wheel sessions will originate and end at an Excel facility. Instructors will give further details when scheduling.

Does Excel administer the written test or must I go to the DMV?

Excel will help prepare your student for the written test by having them take a practice permit test on the second day of class. This is NOT the offical exam. The offical written exam is administered at any full service DMV. Once your student passes the written and vision exams at the DMV, they are issued a learners permit.

What do I need to bring to the DMV to get my learners permit?

Proof of name and date of birth (certified or original copy of birth certificate or passport) Proof of residency (something with student's name and address) Proof of signature (social security card, passport, ect) Permit application from a certified driving school Permit Fee: $20.00 (also covers cost of the license)

What are they required to complete before applying for a license?

To be eligible for their license they must take a 6 hour adult course (if they did not take the 30 hours of classroom instruction before they turned 18). Once the student is 18, there is no driving requirement, but they must obtain a Permit from the DMV before they apply for their license. They will receive information about obtaining the permit during the 6 hour course.

Can I take the Adult class if I am over 20?

Absolutely. Although this class is geared toward students between the ages of 18 and 20, this class may help you learn the Rules of the Road and prepare you for the Permit test at the DMV.
