No, you don’t need your permit to attend the class. You will, however, need your permit when you begin to schedule your in-car driving lessons in our online student portal.
No, you do not need to attend the classes in chronological order. For your convenience, you can put together a schedule of classes that works best for you. Just make sure you complete all 15, including the Parent Class, before you take your road test.
Yes. Attendance at each class is limited to 40 people by the DMV, so we require advance registration for all classes. Registration takes place online through our Student Portal.
16 and 17-year-old students may attend up to four hours of class (2 classes) per day when school is not in session (week-ends, summer, school holidays). On school days, students may only take one class.
Any new driver who is 16 or 17 years old and wants to wait six or more months after receiving their permit to take their Road Test. We also offer the 8-Hour Class for individuals 18 years of age and older.

The easiest way to schedule your driving lessons is online through our Student Center using the Username and Password that was sent to you via email when you signed up. You can call the office during business hours and we’ll be happy to assist you.
All driving lessons begin and end at the Fresh Green Light facilities. By default, you’ll see the schedule for available drives at the location you’ve registered for. But you may take a driving lesson at any location. Please call the office if you’d like to schedule a driving lesson at a different facility.
Our scheduling system automatically sends you an email reminder 48 hours in advance of the lesson time, which provides plenty of time to reschedule in case something comes up. You also have the option of receiving text message reminders as well if you chose that selection during registration.
We have a strict 24 Hour Cancellation Policy: If you cancel a lesson with less than 24 hours notice, you will be charged a $50 cancellation fee regardless of the reason for the cancellation. We confirm the schedules of our outstanding Driving Coaches 24 hours in advance and we commit to paying them for the lessons on their schedule at that time.
If you must cancel a lesson, please do so by logging into the Student Center and cancelling the lesson online. Do not leave a voicemail or send an email as this will not cancel your lesson.
Nope. Students must have their permit (or temporary permit) physically with them during lessons. We are required by the DMV to make sure that every student has their learner’s permit physically with them for every behind-the-wheel driving lesson – photo copies or pictures on phones don’t cut it. If a student doesn’t have their permit for their lesson, a $ 50.00 cancellation fee will be applied.
No. The DMV only allows a student to take one driving lesson a day. Students can attend classroom sessions and have a driving lesson on the same day. More importantly, we highly suggest that you space your driving lessons out over several weeks so that you are practicing what you’ve learned before moving on to the next lesson.
During the school year, driving lessons usually book around 4 weeks in advance at Fresh Green Light, especially prime weekend times and school breaks. Summer is busiest time, so lessons can sometimes be booked out more than a month in advance. Please plan accordingly.
They do not need to be at the facility on your test date. In fact, we request that parents don’t come to the road test as it tends to make our students’ more nervous than they already are!
We can accommodate up to 22 students per test day, and advance sign up is required. We schedule two sessions on the day at the test: one at 8AM for ten (11) students and another at 10:00 AM. (Student test times are based on signup dates – first to sign up goes first and so on). The test itself takes about 20 minutes and is conducted on roads near our facility.
You will receive a temporary Driver’s License when you pass your Road Test. Your physical Driver’s License will be sent to you in the mail by the DMV.

Fresh Green Light Driving School: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: I’m an adult driver with a foreign license and went to FGL for my 8-hour road safety class, a driving “refresher” class and my road test. Everything went very smoothly, great communication and great instruction. The road test with a DMV agent took 15 minutes, tops, and we took a route I was familiar with due to my driving class. I highly recommend FGL if you are looking to obtain an American license!
Thanks so much for the kind words Heleen. This is a new service and I'm so glad you found it helpful! Steve - Owner.
Experiencia positiva: The class that they have to get the driver's license is good and in order.
Thanks Manoj - appreciate your kind words.
Experiencia negativa: I have reached out multiple, multiple times 1) calling 2) leaving messages 3) sending emails. They do not respond, I would suggest anywhere else
Hi Sara - I've had our office staff check our voicemails, emails, DM's on social media and we have not heard from you at all, so I'm not sure why you posted this review. I'm the owner and here's my direct email: [email protected] - please feel free to reach out any time.
Experiencia fantástica: A MUST. Cannot recommend enough. My suggestion is to do the 30 hour course. They teach you exactly what you need to know for the road test- including back in, K turn, etc. Taking the road test at FGL is a breeze. You take it in the Green Light car and the route is much easier than at the DMV.
Experiencia negativa: A horrendous experience. Lack of communication. I had an appointment at 10am and did not take my test until 12:45. Had to miss my school classes. They never have an exact time for their appointments and are extremely unreliable. There were other parents and kids waiting for over 3 hours to take their road test and everything was disorganized and nobody new the whereabouts of the supposed instructors that were going to come. Very disappointed because I had only heard great things about this facility.
I'm sorry for your experience today Daniela - as you know, the appointment you're referring to is your daughter's DMV Road Test, which is conducted by CT DMV Agents at our facility - our instructors are not involved in testing of students. Like many organizations these days, the CT DMV is experiencing ongoing issues due to COVID and they had a staffing issue today that arose this morning.
As soon as we heard about the issue from the DMV, our office called and emailed everyone who was testing today to let them know there would be a delay and that we didn't know how long it would be - especially since today was a school day and students were already missing school to take their driving test at Fresh Green Light.
To their credit, the DMV immediately sent 2 testing agents from Wethersfield to conduct the test today to try and make up for the delay and yes, they did arrive two hours later than the scheduled start time which pushed all the appointments back a few hours.
While you may not have liked the outcome today, I would have to say our team did everything in their power to make the best of this unexpected situation caused by the CT DMV. The vast majority of parents and students today were very understanding and appreciative of how our team handled everything under these circumstances.
Experiencia fantástica: Great job in classes and in-car driving lessons were very good. The DMV official was very difficult over starting the road test with construction in the area and Green Light people were able to quickly relocate the test to another nearby location. Honestly, I think the DMV official just didn't want to give the tests that day and dug up a reason. Green Light handled it incredibly well and quickly. This was especially important since it was over February break so it was one of the few times kids could take the test without missing school.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent driving school, promotes confident, safe drivers. This was so worth the money, and my daughter is excited to be driving alone now.
Experiencia positiva: My son learned so much from the Fresh Green Light classes! He was teaching or reminding us of driving tips from every class. Eilene was the most thorough instructor, in the classroom and on the road. We are extremely confident with our son's driving ability after completing Fresh Green Light Driving School (Darien). As soon as he acquired his license, he began solo driving on the highway from Darien to Fairfield, at least 4 times a week, and we felt secure in his abilty to safely handle the car, in all types of weather. Thank you Eileen and the entire staff at Fresh Green Light, Darien
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent Driving School. Clean cars, knowledgeable instructors. Both children passed the test. When we had scheduling issues, I just called the Darien location and they were able to help us find a driving class instructor. Would highly recommend.
Experiencia positiva: Great program.
Experiencia fantástica: Great food and atmosphere. 5 Stars
Experiencia fantástica: Eileen is a great instructor and very good with the kids. Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: Eileen was a great driving instructor and classroom teacher!! Would definitely recommend
Experiencia fantástica: Ileene was a great instructor
Experiencia fantástica: Our daughter had a very good learning experience with the instructors at Fresh Green Light Darien. The staff also were kind and helpful in resolving scheduling issues.
Experiencia fantástica: Fresh Green Light did a great job of preparing my daughter to drive! The instructors were knowledgeable and made her feel comfortable! Scheduling was easy and the office was quick to respond to any scheduling issues. I would highly recommend them!
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Responsive to emails. Easy to use online portal/website. Great driving instructors
Experiencia fantástica: We had a very good experience with Fresh Green Light. The staff was really helpful in figuring out how to get all the classes and driving lessons in even helping by changing times to accommodate us. Highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Wonderful driving instructors. Very helpful office staff- Ivy and Katie worked very hard to find us driving times to fit our teen's busy schedule.
Experiencia fantástica: My daughter had a great experience. The instructors were extremely helpful in teaching her !
Experiencia fantástica: My daughter had a great experience with FGL. The in-classroom instruction was invaluable and thorough while the on-road instruction was handled by very experienced and patient adults. The added convenience of taking the road test right at the Darien FGL location rather than at the DMV was a huge convenience. While this course wasn't inexpensive, the lessons are priceless.
Experiencia fantástica: The instructors are amazing and very experienced at fresh green light. They understand what a new driver needs to be aware of, and will help you tremendously in order to pass your road test!
Experiencia fantástica: I used FGL for my older son and again for my 16 year old. I learned that it can save a lot of aggravation and its always good for a child to hear from another adult. While it is not cheap - its almost a wash with insurance - so it end up being a good deal. Taking the road test with FGL instead of the DMV is also a very wise option.
Experiencia fantástica: The instructors made my daughter feel relaxed and confident. I will use FGL again for my next driver.
Experiencia fantástica: FGL was a terrific program. Starting from the day my son got his permit, we were able to map out a plan to fit all the classes into OUR schedule and make sure he completed everything on time. Further, the staff at FGL stayed on top of us to make sure we completed all paperwork and classes in ample time for the road test. My son liked all the driving instructors and he never complained about taking any of the classes--wow! I will be contacting FGL in two years when my daughter has to start up the classes. Oh, and the fact that they will pick your child up from school and bring them home, or pick them up from home or wherever for the driving lessons is SO convenient! With 3 kids to drive around all the time, it was really nice to take that off the schedule!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent classroom and driving instruction. Thank you for making the process easy!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent class and in car instruction. Class hours very convenient, locations convenient and ability to pick up a missed class at another location made it very easy to complete in a reasonable amount of time. In car instruction was done with out my having to pick up and drop off and the instructor took my son out in all types of driving situations. Was a great experience - highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: As "boring" as my teenager said the classroom lessons were, he would spit out information during our drives that surprised me. The quality of in class and in car lessons was impressive. Yes, booking drives online could be difficult at times, but I found that if you contacted the Greenlight crew, they would bend over backwards to work with you. Numerous times we had to change something, and their attitude was always, "no problem!" My one suggestion would be for the parents to take the parent class early on in this process. VERY informative! It will help when you're teaching your child.
Experiencia positiva: Good overall, but just found out road test is $50 more expensive if you take it in Greenwich than in Darien! Doesn't seem quite right, does it?
Experiencia fantástica: Fresh Green Light is probably the best driving school I possibly could have gone too, they where really really nice, knoweldgeable, helpful, and generally just good at teacher, I probably learned more useful information over the six months I went to their classes than I did over the course of four years of high school and I'm definitely glad I went there for lessons.
Experiencia fantástica: I totally recommend Fresh Green Light. The instructors are great and everyone who works there is really nice. From the first lesson to the road test I felt confident that my son was in good hands. It is more expensive than some of the other driving schools but well worth it.
Experiencia fantástica: We had a terrific experience at FGL. I firmly believe that my daughter is a safer driver because of the training she received. It was very easy to schedule lessons and classes. Thank you!
