In order for you to get your permit you must be 15 and enrolled in a driver's education program. After 4 hours of class you will be given a form allowing you to go to the DMV and take the written portion of the test to obtain your permit.

After completion of the driver's education class and driving lessons, fulfilling 50 hours of driving practice with a parent/guardian or adult, holding your permit for 9 months and having turned 16 years of age you are eligible to take the road exam to get your driver's license.

Yes, but you must turn 15 by the end of the classroom portion of the program.

Illinois requires you complete 30 hours of classroom and 12 hours of driving instruction. The 12 hours compromise of 6 hours of driving and 6 hours of observing another student being instructed---our Red Teen Package. The alternative to the 12 hours would be to take 8 hours of private lessons---our Blue Teen Package.

1.)Certified copy of your birth certificate or valid passport or a state ID. 2.)Your social security card. 3.)two proofs of residency, eg. Last report card, last bank statement, utility bill (parent can vouch you live there). 4.)Pay a $20 fee. When getting your license bring the above along with your original permit and your 50 hour driving log and proof of insurance and registration for the car you will be taking the driving test with.

Once your permit information is entered into your student profile, you can begin to schedule drive times through your student portal, which is accessed on the Ready Set Drive webpage. If you are are enrolled in our Red Teen Package, you will take 6, two-hour lessons. For each lesson, you will drive for 1 hour and observe another student driving for 1 hour. You will be picked-up and dropped-off at the office.

No problem, please let your instructor know and they will arrange a time for you to make it up. You are allowed to miss up to four classes, but they must be made up. If you miss more than 4 you will be unenrolled and there will be a $150 re-enrollment fee.

From the first day of class you have 9 months to complete all your classroom and BTW sessions. Your permit is valid for two years as long as you are in a driver's education program or you have completed the driver's education program. State requires completion of program within 9 months or you may have to retake the program and have your permit revoked.

Yes, if you do not have your original permit with you, you are not licensed to operate a car. If you do not have it with you for a BTW we will not be able to do the drive and you will be charged a "no-show" fee.

If you need to change your drive you must give us 72 hours' notice so we can fill your spot. If you cancel within that time frame or you do not show up for the lesson you will be assessed a $50 fee. After you pay your fee you will have to book another BTW.

A deposit is required to enroll in class, it can be paid by credit card when you enroll online. The balance is due the first day of class, you can pay by credit card, check or cash. If you wish to pay your deposit by check or cash you will need to come into our office and enroll in person. The deposit is not refundable, but it is transferable. Please note, there is a 2.5% service fee for using a credit card. Yes, we do have payment plans. Please call 847-257-5848 to make an arrangement.

No problem, click on the "Forgot User Name or Password" prompt on the 'log in' page. It will ask for your user email and then subsequently send you your login information.

Two completed forms noted in the enrollment confirmation email you received (Completed School Contract and Grade eligibility form), any remaining balance, a pen, and paper. Please click on the contract link and one of the appropriate grade eligibility links to print the forms:

Ready Set Drive Contract - Paperwork needed for first day of class.

High School Eligibility Form - Paperwork needed for first day of class.

Home School Eligibility Form - Paperwork needed for first day of class.

We try to be as flexible as possible with our BTW scheduling but we must keep to a strict schedule so each student can complete their drives in a timely fashion.

Reasons for the fee:

• If you cancel within 72 hours of your scheduled BTW lesson.
• If you do not show up for the scheduled drive.
• The student does not have their original permit with them at the time of the BTW lesson.

Why the fee?

• In the silver teen program there are two students in the car so each pupil can do their driving portion and their observation portion. If a student does not show up then the other student does not have someone to observe thus they will have to reschedule that portion of their drive. Imagine if it was your child who lost their observation time.
• If a drive is scheduled, we pay our instructor so if a student does not show up we still pay the instructor.
• By cancelling a drive too late or by not showing up you have taken a drive time away from another student.
• We also want to instill accountability and consideration in your child so they will be a responsible driver.

We ask that you please enroll in person at our office during business hours or please call 847-257-5848.

Absolutely, we love siblings and offer a $20 discount! Please call 847-257-5848 to arrange it or let us know the first day of class.
