 Parents
& Students, please do your
research before you choose a
school.
 Here is a copy of an article
that ran in the The Sun
Newspaper on July 7th of 2003.
What to look for in a
commercial driving school
Trying to choose a commercial
driving school for your child?
The state Department of
Licensing offers these tips:
-
Ask other parents and their
children about their
experience with the schools
in your area.
-
Ask to see and then compare
the required Traffic Safety
course curricula with the
school's course plan or
outline. The TSE course
curriculum sets the minimum
standard for all schools. A
better school will exceed
the minimum standards.
-
Ask the school's employees
to tell you what makes their
course the right one for
your child. Their answers
should emphasize the
training and experience of
the instructors, time spent
in the classroom, and the
time your child will spend
driving and observing other
drivers.
-
Look at the cost of the
course. If there is a
significant difference in
the price you will pay, ask
for an explanation of what
your money will buy and
compare the programs of the
different schools. This
course is an investment, not
just your child's education
but also in his or her
safety, and in the safety of
everyone who rides with your
child in the future.
-
Visit the school and ask to
see the classroom and
vehicle used for training.
Does it compare favorably
with your own thoughts on
the environment in which you
want your child learning to
drive?
-
Ask to observe a class.
-
Check the DOL Web site at "Department
of Licensing Query System"
to see if an instructor's
license has been suspended.
This includes us here at
northwest driving school, inc.
We want your student to have the
best possible education on this
very important topic.
-
Ask the school if you can
sit in on a class before you
choose to enroll your
student with that school. We
welcome parents to any class
for any length of time and
offer an informative
Parent’s Night during the
course as well. We find this
helpful to discuss our
teaching techniques and
hints on getting in the car
with your teen.
-
We have our curriculum,
course outline and flow
chart clearly posted on both
of our classroom walls and
are more than happy to
provide a copy of our
school’s flow chart upon
request.
-
Every session your student
is with us they will have
homework and a quiz. All
quizzes must be passed and
homework must be turned in
completed.
-
Our fleet of cars include
four 2006 Scion XB's, a 2001 Ford Focus, 2002 Ford
Taurus, and 2 - 2003
Chevrolet Malibu's.
-
Payment plan is listed on
the application. We do have
other payment options
available, please give us a
call.
