Emerald Driving Academy

Emerald Driving Academy was founded in 1995. It is licensed by Motor Vehicle Administration [MVA] and based in Baltimore, MD. We helped a lot of students to fulfill their dreams of becoming safe drivers. We offer Driver Education for teens and adults and 3-hour Alcohol and Drug Program for new drivers who have never been licensed in USA.

Emerald Driving Academy also has a Court Certified Interpreter on our staff who can assist you during the driver’s test and will make a translation of your out-of-country driver’s license and other foreign documents from your native language into English.

Driving schools are becoming more popular by the day. Everybody wants to know more and more about them. This includes young people who can’t wait for the opportunity to get behind-the-wheel and the parents looking for a good school for their kids.

The main question is how to find a qualified or a good driving school. Keep in mind that the best driving school can be the one which was recommended to you by a friend or relative.

Know your school well

Even after choosing a driving school, there are certain things you should ask about which will help you decide if the driving school is for you. The driving instructor should be your first concern. Ask how long he or she has been a driving instructor. Ask about the cars the school uses and how old those cars are. You should also find out what their rates are.
