A state license is the simplest proof that a school meets Tennessee's standards for instructors, vehicles and lessons. Without it, the hours you pay for may not count, and your insurer may turn down the certificate.
In Tennessee, driving schools are licensed through the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security.
- Search Tennessee’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Driving school courses: state law sets no hour minimum. Each licensed school sets its own requirements and certifies completion. (source)
- Driver Improvement: an 8-hour defensive driving course from a school on the state's approved list. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security before you enroll.
