Third-party drive tests with state-certified examiners.

Course online, testing and lessons in person.
Behind-the-wheel lessons with patient and certified instructors.
Westminster driving tests are offered seven days a week at two local offices. Walk-ins are welcome when an examiner is free, but only a booking guarantees your time. We file your result as soon as you finish, and most drivers upgrade their permit online the same day they pass. A state-certified examiner gives the test on a state-approved route that takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

Pick Your Time First
You see every open Westminster 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. If the time you want is taken, check the other Westminster office on the same calendar.
Read This Before You Book
If your permit has an interlock restriction, bring your own vehicle. It must meet all five requirements:
We submit your passing result to the DMV.
Colorado driver's license offices, the ones most people call the DMV, run by appointment only. A state driver's license office sits about a minute from each of our two Westminster offices, and for an adult starting without a permit that turns two trips into one.
Book the permit appointment, then take your drive test with us straight afterward. Drivers under 18 must hold the permit a full year, while adults have no wait at all. One trip covers the permit, the test, and the online upgrade to a full license.
Price and Availability
Call (303) 623-1404 before leaving. Walk-ins are welcome when an examiner is free at either the North Westminster or Central Westminster office, but booking online is the only way to guarantee your time.
If one office cannot take you when you arrive, you may try the other Westminster location. Walk-in availability can change, so you may need to wait or come back another time. The online calendar shows every open appointment at both offices, including same-day times when available.
If a time is open today, book it before you drive over, because a booked time is held for you and a walk-in is not.
A state-certified examiner gives your test and applies Colorado's scoring criteria.
Choose between two Westminster offices, with testing available seven days a week.
The calendar identifies Spanish-speaking examiners so you can choose one directly.
The examiner explains the result and what to practice next, whether you pass or not.
Most drivers take the test in one of our vehicles instead of bringing their own.
A practice driving test identifies your strengths and areas needing more work.
Colorado authorizes American Driving Academy to conduct third-party driving tests. Examiners here are patient and friendly, and every direction comes early enough that nothing takes you by surprise.
The road test route is state approved, and the Colorado driving exam is scored on the required standards and criteria.
Westminster offers driving tests seven days a week, and the online calendar displays the openings for both local offices.
Compare North Westminster with Central Westminster, then choose the location and time that work best for you.
Spanish-speaking examiners are identified on the scheduling calendar. Select one as you choose your Westminster office and appointment.
For help by phone, call (303) 623-1404 and ask to speak with a Spanish-speaking team member.
After your drivers test, the examiner discusses your result and explains which skills met the standard and which need more practice.
A Westminster retest costs $65. Review the feedback before rebooking so your next practice time has a clear focus.
Unless an interlock restriction applies, American Driving Academy provides the vehicle for your test.
An interlock restriction means you must bring your own car. Check the five vehicle requirements before leaving for the appointment.
A practice driving test gives you an evaluation before the real drive test and lets you experience the testing process in advance.
You leave with specific feedback on strengths and skills to practice. A private Westminster driving lesson is the option when you want teaching rather than an evaluation. Neither can guarantee the outcome of your driver's license test.
Stop fully before the stop line, crosswalk, or sidewalk. Check that the ground beside your window has stopped before moving again.
Westminster residential streets are 25 mph. Check the signs for changes, and ease off before the limit drops rather than braking inside it.
Hands rest at 9 and 3, or 10 and 2, and return there after each turn. Through the turn itself, feed the wheel hand over hand or push-pull.
Lane changes go signal, rearview, side mirror, shoulder. That shoulder check allows you to ensure your blind spot 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.
Great experience, they were able to test me the day after calling. Carina did a great job to ease any nerves. She was friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a driving test.
Completed my driver test today. I am very happy with how it went. Estela was really helpful and supportive. After I completed my exam, she gave me reasonable comments and valuable advice for future driving.
My testing instructor was amazing! It was fast, they were friendly and the experience was tremendous! I got there very early and they squeezed me in right away. I would recommend this company to anyone!
