Appendix C. Work and Family Mobility Act (WFMA) Driving Schools 29. Do I need to attend a driving school to get a Standard driver's license? In Massachusetts, customers under the age of 18 must meet junior operator requirements that include attending a driving school licensed by the RMV. More information on the requirements for customers under the age of 18 can be found at Mass.Gov/info-details/junior-operator-license-jol-requirements. Customers over 18 do not need to attend a driving school to receive a driver's license. If customers do choose to attend a driving school, they are encouraged to shop around and understand what they are paying for. Any fees charged by the driving school are in addition to the fees charged by the RMV. Many driving schools offer Alternative/Off-Hours Road tests that allow applicants to take the road test in the driving school's vehicle and with the driving school's instructor as their sponsor. All applicants are encouraged to understand the costs and fees for this service before entering into an agreement with any driving school. Driving schools are not able to guarantee road test appointment dates or passing grades. Applicants are encouraged to research many driving schools to find a reputable school that fits their needs.
