Getting your Farmington teen licensed — step by step

Classroom (30 Hours)
Complete Minnesota's required 30 hours online, on your teen's schedule.
Pass the Knowledge Test & Earn the Instruction Permit

Behind-the-Wheel (6 Hours)
One-on-one drive time with a licensed instructor on real Farmington roads — where confidence gets built and bad habits get caught.
Supervised Practice (50+ Hours)
Your teen logs supervised hours with a parent. We give you the tools to make that practice count.
The Road Test
Farmington families test at the Eagan Exam Station (2070 Cliff Road, Eagan). We make sure your teen walks in ready.
Right here in your community
We serve families throughout Farmington (55024) and nearby Empire Township and Castle Rock. Whether your teen goes to Farmington High School, Boeckman, or Dodge Middle School, we build a schedule around school, sports, and family life.
We teach on the roads your teen actually drives — from the neighborhoods off 195th Street to Highway 3 through downtown to the county roads that build real highway confidence.
Local driving tips for Farmington families
We teach on the roads your teen actually drives — here's a little of what we cover close to home.
Our Roads
From Highway 3 (Third Street) through downtown to Chippendale, County Road 50, and the county roads out toward Empire and Castle Rock — your teen learns to drive where they live.
Mind Your Speed on Highway 3
Hwy 3 is Farmington's main artery, and it's easy to carry too much speed through downtown and near the Mall. We coach smooth, legal speed and patient, confident turns on and off it.
The Habits That Keep Teens Safe
Minnesota's most common crash factors are distraction, speed, and skipping the seat belt — and for a new driver the real fix is scanning ahead. We drill all of it, every lesson.
Confidence Before Traffic
Calm, supervised practice in quiet areas builds the basics first, so busier roads like Hwy 3 feel manageable when your teen gets there.
