Ford Driving School FAQ's
Ford Driving School is listed on your website as a driving school which offers behind-the-wheel training courses. How do I know if Ford Driving School is a certified school in California?

Is it true that my mom or dad can be my driving instructor when I do my behind-the-wheel training instead of a professional driving school instructor like the ones they have at Ford Driving School?
It depends on what your state's laws are. You should contact the California DMV or a licensed driver training school like Ford Driving School to find out if California allows behind-the-wheel training with a parent.
What happens if I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle? Will Ford Driving School allow me to do my driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle?

However, if you prefer to complete your behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle, you should contact Ford Driving School and let them know before you sign up to take their driver training course. That way you will know for certain if they will accommodate you.
