You must be at least 16. Apply through the New York DMV, provide the required identification, complete the knowledge and vision requirements, and pay applicable fees.
Most first-time applicants must complete an approved 5-hour pre-licensing course or qualifying driver education before the road test. Revolution offers a Zoom class; an online course is also offered through a partner for eligible students.
Book lessons with an instructor and practice regularly. Drivers under 18 must meet New York’s supervised-practice requirements, including 50 hours of practice, 15 at night, and other applicable restrictions.
Under-18 applicants generally must hold a learner permit for at least six months before taking the road test. You will need a qualifying vehicle and required documents. Revolution can assist with appointments and road-test vehicle rental, depending on the package.

Scheduling Notice
Our schedule fills up quickly, and we strive to accommodate every student fairly. If you need additional lessons beyond the recommended pace, please contact our office directly to discuss availability.
Please note: Granting extra slots to one student limits availability for others. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us serve all students efficiently.
Our driving instructors are licensed through the New York DMV and receive additional school training. Confirm the separate credentials required for any road-test escort service before publishing this description.
You may request an instructor, subject to availability. Instructors serve designated pickup locations, so you may need to meet the requested instructor at their assigned location.
Lessons are tailored to your experience. Instructors introduce more challenging driving environments as your skills and confidence develop, including the kinds of city streets you may encounter during a road test.
We offer single driving lessons, multi-lesson packages, road-test preparation, road-test services, and highway lessons. Contact us about customized options. A valid permit or license is required for driving services.
We generally recommend 15–20 hours of instruction for complete beginners, although individual needs vary. You can start with a 10-hour package and receive an instructor evaluation partway through to help determine whether more practice is needed before a road test.
The steps depend on whether your license expired, was suspended, or was revoked, and on how long ago that happened. Check your record and the New York DMV’s instructions before booking lessons or applying for a new license. Do not drive unless your driving privileges are valid.
A 5–10-hour refresher package is often a good starting point. You can practice once or twice weekly and add highway lessons when you and your instructor feel ready.
New residents with an eligible valid out-of-state license generally need to exchange it for a New York license under DMV rules. Eligibility and documentation vary; check DMV guidance.
If you become a New York resident, review the DMV requirements for obtaining a New York license; a foreign license is generally not exchanged directly for a New York license. We recommend at least one road-test preparation lesson to review local rules and test expectations. More lessons may be appropriate depending on your experience.
We generally recommend at least a five-hour road-test preparation package if you have limited experience. An instructor can assess your skills, explain New York road-test expectations, and recommend additional practice if needed.

Yes. Our team can assist with DMV road-test scheduling and provide a qualifying test vehicle where offered. The school’s stated road-test appointment scheduling service fee is $40 and is nonrefundable under its current policy. DMV appointment availability varies; any quoted wait time is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Our rush service searches for earlier DMV appointments, including cancellations, when available. An earlier date is not guaranteed and depends on DMV releases and your scheduling flexibility. The school’s supplied policy states that its rush-service fee is nonrefundable even if an earlier appointment is not secured. The full fee and terms should be shown clearly before payment.
Yes. Our instructors assess progress during road-test preparation packages and may recommend additional practice. You may also book a one-hour evaluation lesson to receive feedback on your skills and estimated training needs. Ask the office whether evaluation fees can be applied toward a larger package.

No. Driving lessons and the five-hour course do not have to be completed in a particular order. We recommend taking the course early to learn traffic rules and prepare for road-test scheduling. Most applicants must meet the applicable pre-licensing requirement before taking a road test.
We require at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule driving lessons or the five-hour class, and at least 72 hours’ notice for road-test services. Late cancellations or changes may forfeit the booking under school policy. Our booking system may allow you to cancel after the deadline without restoring your payment or allowing free rebooking. Exceptions are considered when the school or instructor cancels because of an emergency. Contact the office if you need assistance.
