Alert Driver Training FAQ's

Since Alert Driver Training is listed on your website, does this mean they've been approved by the Virginia DMV to offer driver training courses?
The list of driving schools on our webpage is provided as a convenience to our customers only.  We CANNOT guarantee that every single school listed is fully-approved by the Virginia DMV.  You may want to call Alert Driver Training directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
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 Alert Driver Training?
It depends on what your state's laws are.  You should contact the Virginia DMV or a licensed driving school like Alert Driver Training to find out if Virginia allows behind-the-wheel training with a parent.
Do you know if Alert Driver Training will let me take my behind-the-wheel training using an automatic-shift vehicle? I don't know anything about using a manual-shift.
Considering you're a brand new driver, you probably don't know a whole lot about driving ANY type of vehicle, be it a stick OR an automatic!  Nevertheless, if you have a preference, you probably should contact Alert Driver Training and see if they can accommodate you before signing up to take their driver training course.
Since I live way out in a rural area where driving on unpaved roads and bumpy terrain is the norm, will Alert Driver Training be able to teach me how to drive in a rural environment? Or do they only prepare you for city-driving?
Since you live in a rural area, odds are that any local driving school in your area such as Alert Driver Training will want you to be able to drive safely on unpaved roads and rugged terrain.  We recommend that you contact Alert Driver Training directly to find out exactly what they offer.
Can I apply for my Virginia learner's permit once I turn 14?
Most likely, no.  Most states have set the minimum age to obtain a learner's permit at 15 or 15½.  You may want to contact the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving instruction school like Alert Driver Training to learn more about the minimum age requirement in Virginia.
Do I have to complete a Roanoke Virginia drivers education classroom course or online course before signing up to take one of Alert Driver Training's driver training courses?
Each state has its own laws, but most states will require first-time drivers to take both a behind-the-wheel training course plus either a drivers education classroom course (which are about 30 hours in length) or an approved online drivers education course.  You may want to ask Alert Driver Training if they offer one or both programs.

The prerequisites for getting a driver's licenses vary from state to state, however most states now require teen-agers who are looking to get their first driver's license to complete a safe driving classroom course as well as a behind-the-wheel training course.  We suggest that you contact a local driver training company such as Alert Driver Training and ask if they offer a Virginia-approved  behind-the-wheel training course which would meet Virginia's driver's education requirements.
I live in Roanoke Virginia and would like to apply for my first driver's license. Do I need to take a driver training course before I can be licensed?
