4. When can I get my temporary license from the local Department of Motor Vehicles?

You must be 15 1/2 years of age to receive your temporary license. From the date you receive your temps, you must wait 6 months until you are eligible to take your road test. It is during this 6 month period that we will schedule your behind the wheel lessons. We offer a basic course of 6 - 2 hour lessons or 9 - 1 hour private lessons.


5. When should I call to schedule my first behind-the-wheel lesson?

It is required by the state that the first behind-the-wheel lesson be within 60 days of recieving your temps. After you pass the written temps exam, be sure to call our office immediately to schedule your first behind-the-wheel lesson. You may also schedule more future lessons at this time if you wish.


6. When can I schedule my road test?

You can schedule your road test anytime within the last 11 weeks prior to your 6 month waiting period. Road tests are scheduled electronically by calling the Wisconsin Department of Transportation at 1-888-368-9556 or by going to their website. As soon as you have scheduled your road test, call us to set up your final behind-the-wheel lesson. This final lesson must be completed before your road test can be taken.
