Q: What do I need to take with me to the Driver Testing Station?
A: None of the following materials are required by Brentwood Driver Training for your student to take a course. The materials listed are required by the DMV only.
When your student takes our classroom course they will need to take the following to the DMV:
Resources for Obtaining Necessary Documents for Identity.

Additional Requirements
To obtain a Tennessee Driver License for the first time when an applicant is under the age of 18, proof of prior driving experience is required. The applicant must either:
Q: Which teenage course allows students to test for a permit/license?
A: We are able to test students for their permit/license when they take our teen classroom course. The state will only allow us to test a student for a permit or driver’s license when the course consists of a full 30 hour supervised classroom session along with 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training.
Although our teen home video course is very thorough and helpful, it does not consist of any supervised class time and in turn we are unable to administer any tests for a permit/license. The same thing applies regarding individual private lessons; students may not take a classroom course and come back later to test via an individual lesson.
Q: Can you provide extra driving lessons to students after they take the classroom course?
A: Yes. Additional lessons may be scheduled at the reduced rate of $85 per two hour lesson. We will still provide the same home pick-up services at no additional cost.
Driving times are available:
Monday-Saturday 9AM to 7PM.
You can sign up for each one individually.
Q: How old must one be to take the teen classroom course?
A: Students must be between 14 and 20 years of age to enroll in the teen classroom course.
You may take driver's ed when you are 14 and receive a driver's ed certificate for an insurance reduction, but you must be at least 15 years old by the last day of class in order to test with us for a learner's permit instead of testing at the Driver Testing Station (DMV).
If you are over 20 years of age, please visit our adult driver's ed page.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
A: Check, cash, or money order; payable to Brentwood Driver Training.
Q: When is the driving available?
A: We offer in-car driving lessons Monday-Saturday from 9AM to 7PM.
Teenagers generally drive Monday-Friday after school or on Saturdays. We can pick up your student at home, school, or work and drop them off at home. That way parents don't have to worry at all about working it into their own busy schedule.
Adult lessons are offered Monday-Saturday from 9AM to 7PM. We pick you up at home or work and return home at the end of the lesson.Q: Why is there a charge when I cancel or don’t show up for a driving lesson?
A: We still pay our instructor for the driving lesson. We book our lessons in advance and reserve time with an instructor for you. When you cancel or do not show up, it causes the instructor to lose hours and often have an empty gap in their schedule.
Often times when you cancel a driving lesson with more than 3 days notice we waive the rescheduling fee entirely. We don’t want to have to charge you for cancelling a lesson; we just want proper notice ahead of time so we can fill the gap.
The more advanced notice you give when cancelling the less likely you will be charged.
Please, if you need to reschedule a lesson don't hesitate. No matter how short of notice it is, it's always better to call and let us know rather than just not be there when we come to pick you up.
Q: What happens when my student is scheduled for a lesson during bad weather?
A: In almost all cases lessons will continue as scheduled. It is actually more benneficial for your student to experience different weather conditions with a trained instructor rather than having to experience it on their own for the first time.
If weather conditions excede our abilities to provide a safe environment for your student we will contact you to reschedule the lesson.
In the case of extreme weather warnings being issued by the National Weather Service for our area, if your student feels uncomfortable you may cancel the lesson with no rescheduling fee.
