Azad Driving School

Any teenager who turns 15 before the end of the five week classroom session may enroll.

Your teen must be 15 years old to take the permit test at the secretary of states office to get a learners permit.

After attending (4) hours of class time, your teen will receive a permit application from Azad "Freedom" Driving School. With this permit application your teen can sit/take the written permit test at the Illinois Secretary of State. After passing the written permit test the Secretary of State will issue your teen a driving permit.

There are academic requirements per state law to be enrolled in a drivers education class when you are 15 years of age. All teens/students must have at least one of these forms on file in our main office in order to complete a drivers education course.

The BLUE SLIP is a letter from the Secretary of State showing that you have successfully passed Driver�s Education. This letter is referred to as the BLUE SLIP even though it is printed on standard white paper with black ink. You must show the BLUE SLIP letter to the Drivers License Examiner at the SOS in order to take your road test and obtain your license.

It typically takes about two weeks after classroom and Behind-The-Wheel requirements are met to receive the BLUE SLIP but allow extra time during the summer months.

If you lose your BLUE SLIP, you will need to inform the person you talk with at the Illinois Secretary of State about the lost BLUE SLIP letter. If he or she refuses to look the information up in their computer, you should ask to see a manager.

The Illinois Secretary of State limits our class size to 35 students.

The Illinois Secretary of State allows four (4) absences before students are automatically dropped from the course. All absences must be made up so that each student receives 30 hours of classroom.

Absences may be made up by attending a class from the next session. While it is recommended that students attend the class missed, it is not required.

The Illinois Secretary of State requires all Behind-The-Wheel instruction to be completed in no less than two weeks and no greater than nine months. We will make every effort to complete the Behind-The-Wheel instruction as soon as possible. In summer months, the demand for BTW is extremely high and schedules fill to capacity. In the remaining months, the demand for BTW is lower and it takes less time to complete the BTW instruction.
