Behind the Wheel Students:

Our first priority is to our students who have purchased a package with us for classroom training and behind the wheel.

At this time, we are only accepting new students for behind the wheel who meet one of the following:

  • Have obtained a letter from the MN Dept. of Public Safety stating that they have completed a home school program and are eligible to register for BTW to receive documentation required to schedule a permit test.
  • Have completed classroom training with Annandale high school and have a letter of completion signed by instructor N. Green
  • Have completed a MN DPS accredited classroom training program, have a certificate of completion from the approved course, need documentation of  registration to a BTW program to be eligible to take the permit test. Students must attend Becker, Big Lake, Monticello, Princeton or Foley High Schools.
  • Unless you have recently moved to the area, we are not accepting permitted transfer students at this time.

Procedure Change -blue cards/white cards are now digital completion confirmations from the DPS:

The completion certificate procedure has recently changed in the state of MN.  You will no longer receive physical copies of BLUE CARDS and/or WHITE CARDS. Instead, the process is now digital, information will be sent electronically to the DMV, and you will receive confirmation via email. Please double check any information submitted to us for accuracy as we will copy and paste into the DMV site.


Additional Information

  • Provide us with an email address that is regularly checked, we will communicate via email for classes, scheduling and DMV confirmations.
  • Classroom training: we must have the student's FULL NAME and DATE OF BIRTH (if no middle name, please note NMN on registration forms)
  • Behind the Wheel: When requesting your first drive, we will need your full name, birth date, permit number and issue date. Additionally, we will need parent phone/text number, your anticipated test date and which location you would like to drive from.  We will schedule via email.
  • To keep costs down, we do not accept online payments, registrations or schedule appointments online, please email our office and we will set you up.

Weather:

Plan to drive no matter the weather, the instructor will contact you if changes need to be made. Experience in different weather conditions with an instructor is a valuable opportunity for our students. The driver will make a decision based on your safety. Please email the office if you have any concerns.
