In order for us to make adequate progress during the lesson, it is important the driver has practiced and is fully prepared. If the driver does not feel ready for the lesson, you can cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance of the lesson start time by contacting us at 952-927-2602 or accessing the online student portal .

Lessons are private. Occasionally, another AAA Minneapolis employee may observe a lesson for training purposes.

After each lesson, the instructor will fill out an evaluation and the student will fill out a rubric. These will be discussed, and an e-mail will be sent with a breakdown of what was completed and what should be practiced in preparation for the next lesson.

Drivers under age 18 will be required to submit a Supervised Driving Log when they take the road test. Dates, minutes and skills practiced should be recorded in the log after every drive. The State of Minnesota Supervised Driving Log will be the only accepted format.

It is illegal to practice driving without a valid instruction permit, therefore we cannot honor a lesson without a valid permit. You can get a duplicate permit at any license center with proper identification and a parent/guardian. We require a 24-hour advance notice for cancellations.
