  • Each appointment is 1 hour and 40 minutes long
  • 50 minutes of driving and 50 minutes of observation
  • 7 x 50-min periods of driving (350 min total)
  • 7 x 50-min periods of observation (350 min total)
• On the last (7th) session, our DMV-certified instructor will give you the DMV final road test. If you drive well, the instructor will pass you, thus making the student exempt from taking the final road test at a DMV center.
• Upon passing, the instructor will issue a temporary driver's license certificate (DTS-B) valid for 6 months/180 days.
  • This document, along with the Learner's Permit, will serve as a full-fledged license to drive for the new driver.
  • The temporary driver's license (DTS-B) does not become valid unless a teenager is at least 16 yrs and 3 months of age and has held a Learner’s Permit for 9 months
• AA Driving Academy sends a copy of your certificate (DTS-B) to the DMV main office in Richmond, VA.

Within the next few months, the local juvenile court will mail a letter with the date and time of the Licensing Ceremony. They typically notify you at least 30 days in advance of the ceremony so that you and a parent can both attend. At the ceremony, the student will receive the hard copy of their driver's license (ID card).
