Everything parents and students ask before signing up.
If you don't see your question below, call 425.252.9913 or email Drive@GoWMST.com.
What is the minimum age to enroll?
You must be at least 15 years old by the first day of class to enroll in our Teen Drivers Education program.
When can I get my permit?
If you are enrolled in driver's ed and are at least 15 years old, you can apply for your permit within 10 days of class. You do not need to take the knowledge test before applying. You need to provide us with a WDL identification number, which you can obtain by pre-applying for your permit with the DOL. Once we have the WDL number we add your waiver to the DOL, which allows you to get your permit without having passed the DOL knowledge exam.
Do I need a permit by the first class?
No, but you'll need it prior to booking any driving lessons.
How do I get my permit?
You first need a Washington Driver License (WDL) ID number. You can pre-apply for that through the DOL. We walk you through pre-apply during the first class.
How do I register?
Three ways: online via the registration page, by calling 425.252.9913, or in person at 8227 44th Ave W, Suite F, Mukilteo WA 98275.
Can I miss any classes?
Yes, but no more than three classes can be made up over the course of the program.
How long do I have to complete drivers ed?
There are three classroom sessions a week over a five-week period. Ideally you will want to book one driving lesson a week after the third day of class. Typically you will complete all classroom sessions and driving lessons within two months; however, you have 120 days to complete.
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, MasterCard, check, money order, or cash. Payment plans are evaluated case-by-case, call us if you need to discuss one.
Do you teach manual transmission?
Drivers Education is taught in automatic-transmission vehicles. Manual transmission training is available as a separate, dedicated lesson series.
What about your training vehicles?
Our fleet exceeds NHTSA standards and is updated regularly. Every car has dual brakes for the instructor, and full collision-avoidance equipment.
What happens if I fail the final drivers ed test?
You'll need a score of 80% or higher to pass. If you score below, we'll schedule a retake.
Where do I take the WA Knowledge Test?
WMST is a DOL-approved knowledge & skills examiner. Walk-in testing happens at our Express Office: 4929 Evergreen Way, Everett. Sessions at 9:30 am, 1:00 pm and 4:00 pm Mon–Fri.
