Rapid City, South Dakota has 1 school, which is 3% of everything listed for South Dakota.

All of them sit in Pennington County.

This entry comes from a register that publishes no registration dates at all. They were on the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026.

Its registration class is FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider.

It holds more than one class of registration.

By what they actually deliver: 1 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads, 1 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range and 1 offer classroom or online theory instruction. It can deliver both the range and the public-road portions, which matters because 49 CFR 380.707(c) allows the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to come from different providers but requires both behind-the-wheel portions to come from the same one.

It publishes a phone number and it has a website.

The Training Provider Registry publishes a phone number and a website for some providers and not for others, so the coverage below varies by place.

It has a Google rating of 4.4 from 39 reviews.

Every record on this page comes from Training Provider Registry, published by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov as dataset training-provider-registry.

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.
