Mr. Marty was very nice. He talked me through everything I needed to know while behind the wheel. He also knew how to keep both drivers calm at all times.

Michigan FAQ’s

The cost of Segment 1 depends on your location. Tuition includes classroom instruction, workbook, activities, 6 hours of driving, and 4 hours of observation in an All Star training vehicle. Segment 2 and the Road Test must be purchased separately.

Segment 1 is for students under 18 years old. Students 18 and older are recommended to take All Star’s online “All State” class instead. Programs at high schools are open to anyone as long as you are able to travel to the school to attend. To register, you must upload a birth certificate (or passport/state ID) and a signed contract to the student portal before class begins. Uploaded documents may take up to 3 business days for approval, so be sure to submit them early.

Students must attend 24 hours of classroom instruction, 6 two-hour sessions which will include driving and observation, and pass a written exam with at least 56 out of 80 questions correct. Students are allowed three attempts. When everything is completed, a Segment 1 Certificate of Completion will be uploaded to your student portal and emailed within 10 business days.

After Day 1 of class, students will be granted access to schedule their behind the wheel training through the student portal. Students are expected to arrive on time for every scheduled session. If the school district calls a snow day, All Star’s classes and behind the wheel lessons are also canceled. Instructors may contact you if conditions improve.

Virtual students will take their final written exam at the location they selected at the time of enrollment.

No. After Segment 1, you will receive a Segment 1 Certificate of Completion (this is not a drivers license). This certificate is required to apply for a Michigan Level 1 License. You may apply for your Level 1 License at the Secretary of State once you are at least 14 years and 9 months old and at least 6 weeks have passed since you started Segment 1. With a Level 1 License, you must drive with a licensed parent/guardian or an adult 21 or older. You can find additional guidelines by referring to the Michigan Parent Checklist.

Segment 2 is for students under 18 who have completed Segment 1. To enroll, you must have held a Level 1 License for at least 3 months and completed at least 30 hours of supervised driving, including 2 hours at night. Adults 18 and older are not eligible to take Segment 2 with All Star.

Students must upload their Michigan Supervised Driving Log (showing 30 hours, including 2 at night), Level 1 License, and signed contract to the student portal. Uploaded documents may take up to 3 business days for approval, so they must be submitted before class begins.

Students must attend all 6 hours of classroom instruction. A final written exam is given, and students must score at least 14 out of 20 correct to pass. Up to three attempts are allowed. Segment 2 does not include behind-the-wheel training.

Segment 2 classes are offered at various All Star locations, including some high schools. High school programs are open to any student able to travel there. Virtual students must take their final written exam at the location they selected at the time of enrollment.

After completing all classroom instruction, your Segment 2 Certificate of Completion will be uploaded to your student portal and emailed within 10 business days.

To schedule a road test, students under 18 must hold their Level 1 License for 6 months, log 50 driving hours (including 10 at night), and have their Segment 2 Certificate of Completion.

1. Under 18: Level One License, Segment 2 Certificate of Completion, Michigan Supervised Driving Log (50 hours total; 10 at night), current vehicle insurance and registration, and a parent/legal guardian.
2. 18 or older: Michigan Temporary Instruction Permit, photo ID/legal proof of identity, current vehicle insurance and registration.
3.Out-of-state/foreign: Driving Skills Test Authorization Receipt (DSTAR), out-of-state/foreign driver’s license, current vehicle insurance and registration.
If you do not bring the required documents, it will result in a failed road test.

If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must ride with you. If you are 18 or older, no additional people are permitted to ride in the vehicle during the road test. The only exception is a translator if one is needed.

Your vehicle must be in good working condition and pass a safety inspection (see the Road Skills Test Study Guide). Rental vehicles are available at the Ann Arbor facility for an additional fee and must be arranged in advance. If your vehicle has an interlock device, you must take the test in that vehicle.

The road test lasts approximately 45 minutes to an hour. The examiner will tell you where your road test will take place on the day of your test. It is not legal to practice at the road test site. You may not attempt the road test with an instructor who has previously provided you with behind-the-wheel training.

You must wait at least 24 hours before attempting a second road test. There is no limit to how many times you may test; a fee is charged for each attempt. Road tests are conducted in rain or snow. If conditions become unsafe, the examiner will cancel the test and notify you.

If you successfully complete the Driving Skills Test, the examiner will issue and sign a Driving Skills Test Receipt. The receipt is not a license. Use it to obtain your Temporary Operator’s Permit (TOP) online at Michigan.gov/SOS or at a Secretary of State branch; your receipt will include instructions. If you lose your Driving Skills Test Receipt, contact All Star Customer Service for a replacement.
