Help your teen become a successful driver and secure a Minnesota driver’s license:

  1. Schedule the classroom portion of instruction (30 hours of in-class) to obtain blue card. (Action Driving School does not offer classroom instruction.)

  2. Schedule a written (knowledge) test at a state exam office to obtain a learner’s permit.

  3. PRACTICE! Document practice hours on the Supervised Driving Log. Your teen needs to drive with you for 50 hours (15 of them being night-time hours). The RoadReady app can assist you in tracking practice hours.  

  4. Register with Action Driving School for the six hours of professional Behind-the-Wheel instruction to obtain white card.
