Third-party drive tests with state-certified examiners.
Class, permit test, and 6 hours of lessons.
Course online, testing and lessons in person.
Behind-the-wheel lessons with patient and certified instructors.
The Longmont driving test starts at our Main Street office. Walk-ins are accepted when an examiner is free, but a time is reserved only when you book. Once you pass, we send the result to the DMV, allowing most drivers to complete the driver's license upgrade online that day. A state-certified examiner observes about 15 to 20 minutes of driving on a route approved by Colorado.

Pick Your Time First
You see every open Longmont time before you enter any personal or payment details. Driving tests and driving lessons share one booking system, so choose the driving test, not a 2-hour lesson. Every open time is on that calendar, same-day appointments included.
Read This Before You Book
If your permit has an interlock restriction, you must bring your own vehicle, and it must meet all five requirements:
We submit your passing result to the DMV.
Price and Availability
Walk-ins are accepted at the Main Street office when an examiner is free, but a reservation is the only way to have a time set aside. Call (303) 623-1404 before heading over without an appointment.
Without a reservation, you may need to wait for an examiner to become available. Every bookable Longmont time appears online, including same-day choices when offered.
When an open time fits your schedule, reserve it before you leave for Main Street.
State-certified examiners score Longmont tests using Colorado's required criteria.
Longmont offers evening and weekend test times, all shown on the booking calendar.
Calendar labels identify Spanish-speaking examiners before you choose your time.
Your examiner explains the result and identifies what to keep practicing afterward.
Most Longmont tests take place in a vehicle that American Driving Academy provides.
A practice driving test shows how your current skills hold up before test day.
Colorado driver's license offices, the ones most people call the DMV, run by appointment only. The Longmont office is a 30 second walk from us at 2130 Main St, and for an adult starting without a permit that turns two trips into one.
Book your permit slot at the state office and your drive test with us back to back. A driver under 18 waits a full year between the two, and an adult does not. You can walk over with the permit, pass the test, and upgrade online the same day.
American Driving Academy's Longmont location is approved by Colorado to provide third-party driver's license testing.
Our patient and friendly examiners give you each direction with plenty of time. During the Colorado driving exam the examiner observes and scores rather than teaches, so it measures how you apply the skills independently.
Longmont testing includes evening and weekend appointments, although the exact openings vary. The online calendar shows the current choices.
A later or weekend appointment can reduce the need to miss school or work.
Spanish-speaking examiners are marked beside their available appointments on the calendar. Select one of those times when booking in Longmont.
For help in Spanish, call (303) 623-1404 and ask for a team member who can answer booking or test-day questions.
When your drivers test ends, the examiner explains the outcome and connects it to specific actions from the route. You will hear what met the standard and what needs attention.
A Longmont retest is $65. Use the feedback to focus your practice before deciding when to schedule a second attempt.
For most Longmont drive tests, American Driving Academy provides the vehicle, so you do not need to arrange a separate car for the appointment. Each one is state-inspected and fitted with a passenger-side brake, an instructor mirror and a dash camera.
Drivers with an interlock restriction must bring their own vehicle. The Interlock Restrictions card above lists the five conditions it must meet.
A practice driving test is an evaluation before test day, not a lesson. It gives you a clearer picture of your current readiness, and nothing from it is reported to the DMV.
Choose a Longmont behind-the-wheel lesson when you want instruction, and the practice test when you want an evaluation of what you can do independently. Its feedback can guide practice, but it cannot predict the driver's license test result.
Brake early enough to stop completely before the line, crosswalk, or sidewalk. Check all directions before you move through the intersection.
Longmont residential streets are 25 mph unless posted otherwise. Read each sign, watch for active school zones, and adjust as the limit changes.
Start with your hands at 9 and 3 or 10 and 2. Use hand-over-hand or push-pull through the turn, then return them to the starting position.
Signal before each lane change. Then check the rearview and side mirrors, look over your shoulder, and move only after the lane is clear.
Test Your Readiness
Pick the wheel that would pass.
Correct, wheels need to be FULLY stopped
Wheel B is the one that passes. A rolling stop is one of the easiest points to lose, because the examiner is watching the wheel, not the speedometer.
The check from the driver's seat: look at the ground outside your window and make sure it has stopped moving.
Not quite. That wheel is still turning.
Wheel B is the answer. Your wheels have to be fully stopped behind the line, not creeping. Rolling through a stop sign is one of the most common reasons a driver loses points.
Tap a lane on the diagram.
Correct. Lane B, the nearest one.
A right turn always finishes in the closest lane, the one beside the kerb. Swinging wide into the far lane is a marked error even when the road is completely empty.
If Freddy needs the far lane, he gets there afterwards as a separate lane change, with a signal and a blind spot check.
Not quite. Lane A is the far lane.
Freddy should finish in Lane B, the one closest to him beside the kerb. Turning wide across into the far lane is marked against you even on an empty road, and it is a habit examiners look for.
Tap every check you would do. There are three.
0 of 3 found
That is the full check.
Rear-view mirror, driver side mirror, then a look over your left shoulder. The mirrors tell you what is behind you. Only the shoulder check covers the blind spot the mirrors miss.
Signal before you move, and leave the signal on the whole way through the change.
That one is for a right lane change.
You are moving left, so your blind spot is on the driver's side. Keep looking, there are still checks to find.
Start the car, then hit the Space Bar to stop it.
The car has not started yet.
Correct. You stopped short of the sidewalk.
That is the stop that counts. Your first stop happens before any part of your car reaches the sidewalk, every time, even when a bush means you cannot see a thing from back there.
Then you creep forward into the green area and stop again for a proper look. A second and even a third stop is fine. Rolling straight through on the first one is not.
Too late. You were already on the sidewalk.
Your bumper crossed the sidewalk before the car stopped, so that first stop does not count. People walk there, and an examiner marks it the moment it happens.
Stop with the bumper short of the sidewalk first. Once you have stopped there, move up into the green area and stop again to see past the bush.
Much too late. You rolled all the way in.
You stopped in the green area. That is where your second look happens, not your first, and anything already coming along the cross street had no warning you were there.
The order is what matters: stop before the sidewalk, then creep forward, then stop again where you can actually see.
