Zimmerman Driving School

There is no written test. Courses are set periodically. This is a 2 hour course for drivers of any age. A Letter of Completion is given at the end of the course for your record to show that the course has been completed. Keep your letter for four or five years. Our office also provides documentation to the State for you. Courses will be held at 1855 E. Main St., Onalaska. We will need to see your Driver License. Please bring a check for $85 or the exact change because we do not keep change in the office. We do accept credit/debit cards. Classes must start on time so please arrive 15 minutes prior to your class time.

The on line program is not for everyone. This is not a video game. Students must be able to follow directions and commit to learning how to drive responsibly and safely. There are 60 units in the program. Students must spend the WI State Statute requirement of 30 minutes on a unit, or the system will not count it as completed. The unit will also not count a unit if the student takes more than 60 minutes to complete it. Students cannot log in and then leave the program to do other things because each unit has a timer of 45 minutes of inactivity. After 45 minutes the system will automatically log the student out. You cannot bookmark the program or it will not work. This assures the system that the student is logging on properly. This program works best with Internet Explorer or Edge. If a student will be using a school computer, you must get permission from the school to gain access to our program. The process begins with calling or registering on line for the program. We send a contract for signature and proper fee. Upon receipt in the office, we provide 2 codes one is a school number and the other one is the student’s personal user number. The student then logs on to the program using their own or desired email account. There is a short turn-around for our office to receive the information to continue to the next step. We then email that information to the email account we are to use. It is best for the student, upon receiving this information, to proceed with the program which signals to the office that the program has been successfully accessed. After successfully completing the classroom portion, we will mail a Permit application form, which you will take along with a Birth Certificate or a valid Passport and Social Security card to the DMV. The knowledge and signs test will be administered and when you pass, the Permit will be issued. Then you call our office for further direction.
