Advantage Driving Academy FAQ's
Since Advantage Driving Academy is listed on your website, does this mean they are approved by the Oregon DMV to offer behind-the-wheel training courses?

Could I just have my mother or father teach me how to drive instead of paying money to attend a professional driver training course?
It depends on which state you live in. There are some states which allow you to complete your hands-on driver training with a parent or guardian instead of enrolling in a professional driving school. However many states require that first-time drivers take a professionally-taught driver training course. We recommend that you check with your state's DMV office to find out if your parent or guardian can fill the role as your behind-the-wheel driving instructor.
I have no clue how to drive a stick-shift vehicle. What happens if Advantage Driving Academy makes me train on a manual-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....manual OR automatic! If you prefer to do your behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call Advantage Driving Academy and let them know before you sign up to take their behind-the-wheel training course. That way you'll know for certain whether Advantage Driving Academy will be able to accommodate you before you pay them any money.
