Our founders, Kym and Tiffany Wimberly, have built a legacy in education that prioritizes the individual needs of each student. This philosophy has been seamlessly carried over to ACT Qualified Driving Academy.
Here, we believe in a personalized, student-centered approach to learning, empowering our students to become responsible drivers who understand the importance of safety and courtesy on the road.
Our Adult Pre-Licensing Course includes 6 hours of classroom instruction and 8 hours of behind-the-wheel training to help you become a confident and responsible driver. Whether you've driven before or not, we've got you covered. While it's not mandatory, consider adding additional drive hours at checkout, if you have never been behind the wheel - if you desire additional Behind the Wheel Hours. You will need to secure a Temporary Instruction Permit from the Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) to complete our program. Note: A TIP Card is not required to register for our program, but it is required to take the Knowledge Skills test (given at the end of class) and your Behind the Wheel Training, so we recommend securing your TIP before class.

OMV Required Documents
You need to apply for a Class E Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) from the Office of Motor Vehicles before you can take the knowledge test, drive during on-road lessons with an instructor, or participate in the on-road driving skills test. Make sure you meet all other Office of Motor Vehicles identification requirements. Note that this requirement doesn't apply to those enrolled in a National Guard Youth Challenge Program or to students who started driver education before September 4, 2018.
After you finish your driver's education, you'll have to give back the TIP to the OMV, along with proof that you completed the driver's education course and any other necessary documents.
The good news is that there's no extra cost to switch from a TIP to a Learner's Permit or a Full License.

I love this place everyone is so sweet and this is amazing to go to if you suffer from anxiety/neurodivergent/ English not your first language. They’re very reassuring and sweet people :)
My daughter has learning disabilities and I was very hesitant in where to send her for driving education. As you would imagine, my biggest concerns were, will she be able to keep up with the other kids, will the staff have the patience to meet her needs. Well I am here to tell you, the entire staff from the front desk to the classroom, made sure she felt confident and comfortable every day. With the awesome instruction and daily reminders of you can do it, my daughter passed the class. I can't thank Ms. Tiffany, Ms. Suzette, and the entire ACT Qualified staff enough.
The instructor was really helpful and patient,I’m usually not big with test but having Ms.K as an instructor helped me test so smoothly.Passed on my first try.
All of the staff here at ACT are beyond exceptional and experienced. Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. MiMi, Ms. Keisha, and definitely all of the others have provided me with the best quality driving education to properly prepare me to drive responsibly on the road. I would recommend ACT to any future driver. All thanks to the staff of ACT.
Coach Key was very attentive and answered every question the class had. She was very positive and very kind and kept my attention. Thank you! I passed my written test! 🎉🥳
I really enjoyed the class. Despite the price we had to pay, it was mostly entertaining (especially during group projects). I was nervous during the day of the test but it didn't turn out to be too bad after all. 5 stars all around!
Great institution, very organized and super friendly and helpful. Ms. Kee is a great teacher and gives great pointers for the exam. Ms. Minnie is super helpful and such a kind person. I really appreciated that she took the time to make sure of my driving hours.
Took the 14hr adult class. Ms.Key is amazing she made sure we knew everything that was important in order to pass the written test. All 4 of my drives were beautiful with great instructors. The driving test was wonderful. I highly recommend if you and your kids or other adults are looking for a fantastic driving school.
My instructor Ms Tiffany was so sweet and helpful! I passed the class & I’m headed to take the driving portion of the test soon! She was one of the best teachers and I’m glad I was able to have her teach and educate me about the rules of the road ! 😆
It’s so fun specially for teens and you get to meet amazing people with amazing environment. And specially the education they provide for you highly recommend!!
Had a great time and learned really well from my instructor. My instructor Ms Tanya was great. Had the class engaged the entire time and gave us breaks to recover. I passed with ease here.
