Apolo Driving School FAQ's
Apolo Driving School's address and phone number is listed on your webpage. How can I find out if it is an approved driver training school in California?
Even though we provide a list of driver training schools on our website, we have no way of knowing for sure as to whether or not a particular school is licensed by the California DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses. We strongly suggest that you contact Apolo Driving School directly or check with the California DMV to find out for sure if Apolo Driving School is a licensed school.
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 California?
Each state has its own laws regarding driver training. Some states will allow parentally-supervised behind-the-wheel training as a substitute for enrolling in a driver training course which is taught by a professional driving instructor. However, not all states allow this. You should contact the California DMV to find out for sure.
What if I don't know how to operate a vehicle with a manual-shift? Does Apolo Driving School have an automatic-shift vehicle they'll allow me train with?
Since you're just learning how to drive, you probably don't know how to operate either a stick-shift or an automatic-shift vehicle! However, if you have a preference as to a stick or an automatic, you probably should call Apolo Driving School to see if they can accommodate your request prior to your signing up to take their behind-the-wheel training course.
I live in a rural area, that has a lot of dirt roads and bumpy terrain. Will Apolo Driving School teach me how to drive in BOTH city AND rural environments?
If you live in a remote area, chances are very good that a local driving school like Apolo Driving School will want you to be trained in driving specific to the local area's terrain.
If I'm 14, can I get an instruction permit to drive in California?
Possibly. However, you should be aware that most states require you to be at least 15½ years old before you can get a learner's permit. We recommend that you contact the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or a licensed driving school such as Apolo Driving School to find out exactly what the minimum age requirement is in California.
Can I take Apolo Driving School's behind-the-wheel training course before taking a Van Nuys California defensive driving classroom course or online course?
It depends on what California's laws prescribe. However, you should know that most states will require teen-aged, first-time drivers to complete both a defensive driving classroom course (which are approximately 30 hours in length, depending on California's laws) or an approved online course, plus a state-approved behind-the-wheel training course. We recommend that you contact Apolo Driving School directly to see if they offer either (or both) of these courses.
