The initial 8-hour course is no longer required. Effective 7/1/2024 new legislation eliminates the need for the initial 8-hour class. Call 952-927-2602 for more information on our senior driving school.

We recommend 5-10 hours of practice driving before your first lesson. Make sure you are comfortable with the basic controls and driving on multi-lane roads at speeds up to 40 mph before your first lesson.

If you are under 18, the state requires 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. You will take three 2-hour lessons. Although drivers over 18 are not required by the state to take behind-the-wheel lessons, they are still encouraged to take the three 2-hour lessons. Additional parking lessons and refresher lessons are available as well.

Yes. First thing we need is a Letter of Completion from where you took your 30 hours of classroom. Email the Letter of Completion to drivingschool@aaaminneapolis.com and we will send you a link to enroll.

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 48 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) in advance of the lesson start time by contacting us at 952-927-2602 or accessing the online student portal .

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.

You can start driver’s education at age 14. You cannot take the knowledge/permit test until age 15. If you are under age 18 you are required to take 30 hours of classroom driver’s education.

When you drive, you must have your instructional permit in immediate possession. 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 48-hour (excluding weekends and holidays) advance notice for cancellations.
