* Teen customers sign on with me right after they have finished the classroom (yes, I can issue the Blue Card) or after they have their permit. Adults who sign on with me have their permit. I do not offer the classroom portion but can refer you if needed.
** The price within my normal zone (11 miles from my base). See map in the Contact page. I do not train in Minneapolis or pick up/drop off there. I make other arrangements for Minneapolis students.
