Fisher Driving School Information

We are a commercial driving school licensed by the Illinois Secretary of State. The Secretary of State approves all of our programs and curriculum. All of our instructors pass a background check and are tested and licensed by the Secretary of State. After 12 years of teaching Driver Education in the public and private high schools, Chuck Fisher has started his own school. 2. Why do parents and teens choose the Fisher Driving School? Our Teen Program enables parents and teens to choose when they get their instruction permit. Eligibility is based on age not grade level in school. We are not locked into a semester schedule, we offer classes throughout the year and students can complete the classroom in only 4 weeks. We offer flexible evening and weekend scheduling for Behind-the-Wheel. We also offer Private Lessons for students who desire individual instruction or additional lessons for added experience. 3. At what age can a teen enroll at Fisher Driving School? The Illinois Secretary of State recommends that students be 15 before the last day of class so that their classroom and Behind-the-Wheel experience work together to enhance their learning experience. 4. Who can enroll in Fisher Driving School's Teen Program? Any teen who is 15 (or turning 15 before the classroom is completed) and older can enroll in the classroom training. To take the Behind-the-Wheel portion of the program a teen must have an instruction permit. 5. When will a teen get their Instruction (Learner's) Permit? Instruction Permit applications are issued during the first week of class. The application and a certified copy of their birth certificate, Social Security card and proof of residency and $20.00 can be taken to any Secretary of State Driving Facility to take a written test at your convenience (you must be 15 to obtain a permit). 6. Are absences allowed? A student is allowed to be absent 3 times, however, it must be made up. A fourth absence will result in being DROPPED from class!
