Excel Driving School (Plainfield) FAQ's

Can you tell me if Excel Driving School (Plainfield) is a licensed driver training school in Illinois?
Although Excel Driving School (Plainfield) is listed on our list of driving schools in your area, we are unable to say with certainty as to whether they are currently certified to teach driver training courses in Illinois.  We recommend either calling Excel Driving School (Plainfield) directly or the Illinois DMV to find out whether or not Excel Driving School (Plainfield) offers behind-the-wheel training courses that are state-approved.
Somebody told me that I can skip out of attending a driver training school if my parents give me behind-the-wheel training instead. Is that permissible in Illinois?
Each state has its own rules regarding behind-the-wheel training.  Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for attending a behind-the-wheel training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor.  However, not all states allow this.  You should contact the Illinois DMV to find out for sure.
