The state register these records come from publishes no registration dates. Each of these 1 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.
Why does one address hold several licenses?
Because a row in the source register is a registration, not a business. The entry on this page holds more than one class of registration at the same address. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the place rather than on the registration, so one business is one listing and every class it holds is shown in its record detail.
Which of these can do the behind-the-wheel training?
1 of the 1 are registered for both the range and the public-road portions. The distinction matters: 49 CFR 380.707(c) permits the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to be delivered by separate providers, but requires both behind-the-wheel portions, range and public road, to come from the same provider. Breakdown here: behind-the-wheel public-road training 1, behind-the-wheel range training 1, theory instruction 1.
