International Drivers Academy and Approved DOL License Testing

My experience with IDA and my instructor was excellent. Joyce was really patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was a great idea to take a 35min warm up before the driving test. Even after watching numerous YouTube tutorials on parallel parking, I performed it incorrectly despite having driving expertise. Joyce was able to give tips and tricks on how to accomplish it easily, and I felt my instructor was really interested in ensuring I was ready to obtain my driver's license. It was extremely useful! I passed my driving exam on the first try. Really great experience!! Thank you!!!

Firstly, I took my written test at this location and Somehow I felt that I should take my driving lessons here and I did. The master instructor MS.Joyce did a commendable job, not just teaching for the sake of. Her level of patience for any new driver like me and her knowledge is remarkable. She is a very dedicated teacher and makes each and every minute of the paid lesson not just worthy, but it makes you a defensive driver. she keenly found my needs, and places of attention like signals,turns,signboards and corrected it. She also figured out my native influences in driving and corrected accordingly. Also I couldn't get my lessons immediately when I wanted, but totally worth the wait.(as she is the best teacher in town) I would suggest anyone to wait &take the lesson in IDA. Overall, If you are totally a new driver/who knows a bit, IDA is the best place to choose as it provides the right guidance, when followed makes all your driving dreams come true.

I came here for the knowledge test, then took classes and then the driving test. My experience here was great!! I started out super nervous on the road and made mistakes like 90% of the time (or more lol) but Joyce was super patient with me 😂 She's a great instructor and very knowledgeable. She was able to detect what I needed to work on and arranged the classes in the way that I could practice what I was bad at and eventually become better at it. She gave me lots of tips during classes and what I should be careful of before the actual exam and that was super helpful. Highly recommend this place!

As a European who recently moved to Washington, I had to get my driver's license within 30 days after arriving. I used IDA driving school for my knowledge test, which worked out great. The actual driving test went smoothly, where the instructor shared a few last tips&tricks before starting the test, made me feel super comfortable during the ride, and walked me through both good and watch-out remarks after I passed the exam. The instructor was relaxed, taking a lot of time to make sure I felt comfortable and understood the guidelines, before hitting the road. Great experience overall!
