SCHEDULING LESSONS FOR IMMIGRANTS
AND NON-CITIZENS
FIND A PRACTICE BUDDY! Driving with a licensed friend or family member in between lessons will be help reinforce what you learn from your instructor. We realize this is not always possible, but this strategy will help save you money and become more proficient at a faster rate. Find a big empty parking lot and practice. Remember, practice builds experience; experience builds confidence; confidence = improved safety and a higher chance of passing your road test! Regardless of your ability to practice with someone, we promise to do our best to help you!
SCHEDULE YOUR ROAD TEST WITH THE DVS! Upon passing your knowledge test, you should immediately schedule your road test by calling the DVS or visiting their website. Most exam stations in Minnesota are currently experiencing very long wait times. If you are unable to schedule a road test right away, check again. You may visit the DVS website as many times each day as you like. If you are forced to choose a later date, you may check the DVS website frequently to see if an earlier test date is available. You will not lose your slot unless you choose to accept an earlier date/time. It is a good idea to schedule your final lesson with Ken's Driving near the date of your road test.
NOTE: We might not be able to accommodate you for lessons if your road test is scheduled too soon! We are typically booked about 6 weeks in advance for lessons. If your road test is within the next few weeks, it never hurts to contact us to see if we happen to have an open lesson slot for you, but we cannot guarantee it. If not, you might consider rescheduling your road test.
SCHEDULE YOUR LESSONS! How to schedule lessons at Ken's Driving:
1) Complete the form below. Please be as thorough and accurate as possible. The more information you provide, the more quickly and efficiently we will be able to schedule lessons for you. We may be very busy, but we promise to do our best to help you in as timely a fashion as possible.
2) Carefully consider the DAYS of the week and TIMES of the day you are available for lessons.

The more flexible you are, the easier it will be for us to schedule lessons for you!
3) Our office will create a tentative lesson schedule based on your availability and email it to you. Carefully review the schedule and respond as quickly as possible to confirm if it works for you. Let us know immediately if any changes must be made. Please keep in mind that it will be more difficult to change a lesson as we approach each date. As your lessons progress, let us know if you want to add additional lessons.
LET'S DRIVE! Your instructor will typically have several lessons each day, so please be ready to go when they arrive. Please have your payment ready for that lesson (unless you prepaid) and present your instruction permit. The instructor will complete a short form, then you're off on your lesson adventure! Feel free to ask questions and engage with your instructor. We want you to have a fun and stress free experience, while learning how to be a SAFE driver!
