General questions

Driver Education is the full program.

It includes:

  • Online classroom lessons
  • Behind-the-wheel driving lessons
  • Driver Education completion processing

Private driving lessons are just driving practice.

They are best for students who:

  • Already have a permit or license
  • Need more practice
  • Need help with parking, turns, traffic, or confidence
  • Do not need the full Driver Education program

It depends on your student’s age, permit status, and goal.

Driver Education may be best if:

  • Your student needs the full Driver Education program
  • Your student needs a Driver Education completion certificate
  • Your student is working toward a hardship license
  • Your student may need Driver Education because of the new Mississippi law

Private driving lessons may be best if:

  • Your student already has a permit or license
  • Your student only needs driving practice
  • Your student is 17 or older and plans to get licensed before July 1, 2027
  • Your student needs help building skill or confidence

Driver Education is $600 total.

  • 6 total hours of private behind-the-wheel sessions (3 private driving sessions)
  • Driver Education completion and processing

Every driving lesson includes free pick-up and drop-off within our service area.

Private driving lessons are:

  • $180 for one 2-hour lesson
  • $900 for a 6-lesson package (12 Hours)

The 6-lesson package saves $180.

Private lessons are great for extra practice, confidence-building, parking, lane changes, highway driving, and general skill-building.

Every driving lesson includes free pick-up and drop-off within our service area.

It depends on the service.

For private driving lessons:

  • Yes, you or your student will need a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license.
  • This allows you or your student to legally practice driving on the road.

For Driver Education:

  • You do not need a permit to start Driver Education and do the behind-the-wheel sessions with A360 Driving School.
  • A permit is needed before behind-the-wheel driving outside of A360 Driving School sessions.

Maybe.

Mississippi’s new Driver Education requirement begins July 1, 2027.

If your student can get their license before July 1, 2027, they will not need Driver Education by law.

If your student gets their license on or after July 1, 2027, Driver Education will be required.

Because every student’s situation is different, we may need to know:

  • Your student’s age
  • Whether your student has a permit
  • The date the permit was issued
  • When your student may be eligible for a license

Maybe.

If your student already has a permit, we need to look at the timeline.

Your student may not need Driver Education by law if they can:

  • Hold the permit for the required time
  • Become eligible for a license
  • Get licensed before July 1, 2027

Your student may still need Driver Education if:

  • They are applying for a hardship license
  • They will not get licensed before July 1, 2027
  • You want the full Driver Education program
  • You want to ask your insurance company about a possible discount

Private driving lessons may be the better option if your student only needs practice.

It’s completely up to you.

Every driving lesson includes free pick-up and drop-off within our service area.

That means we come to you. Most students start and end their lesson at home, but some students start from school, work, or another approved location.

As long as the pick-up and drop-off locations are within the A360 service area, we’re happy to work with what is most convenient for you.

Yes.

Your student does not have to finish the online course before scheduling driving sessions.

However, we recommend that your student complete most or all of the online course before the first driving session.

This helps your student feel more prepared and confident behind the wheel.

No.

Driver Education completion is not automatic.

A360 will teach and support your student during each lesson, but your student must show basic safe driving skills before completion can be processed.

Some students may need extra practice or extra lessons before completion.

Safety is always the priority.

No.

A360 Driving School provides:

  • The training vehicle
  • Insurance coverage for lessons
  • A certified driving instructor
  • A vehicle with dual-control pedals for safety

Yes, it may help.

Some insurance companies offer a discount for Driver Education completion.

Each insurance company is different, so you should ask your insurance provider if they accept a Driver Education certificate for a discount.

That means:

  • There is no monthly class date
  • There is no weekend Zoom class to wait for
