A1’S SESSION REGISTRATION & BOOKING TIPS
!!!PLEASE STOP AND READ BEFORE REGISTERING!!!
Most asked Question:
When is the best time to register for Driving School?
Answer:
AS SOON AS YOU OR YOUR STUDENT RECEIVES THEIR PERMIT!!
DRIVING SCHOOLS ARE ALWAYS BOOKING OUT AS IT IS!
Want a Tip? Be sure to call prior to registering/purchasing to ENSURE desired availability is met. If you do not get an answer when you first try to call, please leave a voicemail and you will be contacted within 24hrs. **There will be a small fee charged if you request a refund after purchasing due to undesired availability.
- You will be required to make a payment when you go to register! Click the “Get started” button within the pricing section only to sign up!
- You will need yours or your student’s permit handy when proceeding to register.
- You can choose individual sessions or the 6hr Program package that includes the Basic, Prep and the Test Day. *See below for details.
- The 6hr program is for those who HAVE been driving along the way. You must have at least 15hrs of driving time before we start you on the Basic Driving Session.
- Evaluation Session is where we would start very beginners (0 to minimal driving experience).
*This will mean you will need multiple sessions IN ADDITION TO the 6hr Program Package at an additional charge.
- When scheduling for Kenton and Boone co test prep and road tests, please keep in mind we have to go around the DMV’s time restrictions of when we can get onto their courses to practice.
- We come to you or your student driver to pick up and drop off for the sessions if you/they are within a 25 minute radius from our Erlanger office. Any location longer than 25 mins, will result in a meeting ground.
- You WILL need to get help with friends/family members outside of the Program to be sure you are keeping your skills fresh and building your driving experience. If you cannot maintain skills outside of our program- this will ultimately result in prolonging scheduling one’s Road Test and we do not take anyone to their test unprepared. EXPERIENCE IS EVERYTHING!! And we can tell who has been logging hours and who hasn’t.
-
SESSIONS ARE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE!!
**All scheduling is affected by multiple factors: The County on the Permit, the Student’s Eligibility date, State required logged hours completion, the current driving experience of the student driver and of course where our availability stands at that time. **
- Be sure to call your Car Insurance Provider first before purchasing the 6hr program Package. Not ALL car insurance providers accept it.
- Once you have registered/purchased, the Business Manager will reach out to you within 24hrs to schedule dates and times. If you have already set up dates and times over phone or email with the business manager, you will then receive the email notifications once the manager has pulled you or the student over into the held dates and times.
- We Do NOT Guarantee Passing the Road Test! We are not in the vehicle with the student when they are taking the test with the examiner. Nerves are what we cannot control.
- The 4hr Graduated Licensing Class is COMPLETELY SEPARATE from our Program. Driving School is completely optional to take, where the 4hr Graduated Class is a requirement by the State of KY

Evaluation Session (2HRS)
This is a 2 hour session for students with zero to minimal driving experience.
- We will generally start the student driver in a parking lot and work your way up from there.
*Depending on each student's learning style and experience level, they may not come out of a parking lot on the evaluation session.
- The student will most likely need an extra one of these sessions and/or extra basic driving session(s).
- *Most adult student drivers start with this session.
Student Drivers will need to get help outside of our program along the way to build your behind the wheel experience. Failure to do so, will mean more sessions with us at a continued additional cost.

Road Test Day (2HRS)
This 2 hour session is the actual Road Test Day!
- A1 sets up driving test time for the student w/in the KY State Police Website once selected dates and times are posted on their website.
- The student driver uses A1's vehicle for the road test.
- The student driver will get practice time prior to the test time. *This practice time prior to test will have to be done in a neighborhood near the course and not on the course due to DMV's test course restrictions for all of the public.
- We recommend coupling this session with the Test Prep Session for more practice time within our vehicle and on the DMV's course. If the student chooses to do an individual session road test day, we recommend a meeting ground closer to the particular DMV to get the most out of this session.
