We administer the road test to anyone in Pennsylvania with a valid PA permit.

The CCIU Driver Testing Centers are PennDOT approved third-party providers and therefore are required to follow state-specific policies and procedures.

As long as spots are available, you can be scheduled within two Driver Testing Center business days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday). If you would like to be scheduled sooner, please contact the office staff and they will be happy to assist. 

Those looking to complete the driver’s test are welcome to utilize their own vehicle as long as it is up to date on inspection and registration and the driver can show proof of insurance. As an alternative, CCIU Driver Education cars are available and can be requested at the time the appointment is scheduled. All CCIU cars are equipped with automatic transmissions and dual breaking systems.

Yes. At the Downingtown location, there are two parallel parking spots.

At the West Grove location, there is one marked parallel parking spot, which is located at the entrance of the Driver Testing Center building.

CCIU Driver Education students can take their driver’s testing exam at one of our CCIU Driver Testing Centers for a discounted rate, if they have taken both components of the driver education course (Online Course and Behind-the-Wheel), have had their permit for six months and have completed 65 hours of driving practice. They can also take their driver’s testing exam at a local DMV location.

The driver will receive a stamped permit that acts as a valid license. Photos are not taken at the CCIU Driver Testing Centers. The driver will receive a camera card approximately two to three weeks after a successful road test. They will then take their camera card to a local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or state photo center to have their photo taken.

The standard rate is $100 and the retest rate is $60. There is a 25% discounted rate ($75) for drivers completing the CCIU’s Driver Education Online Course and Behind-the-Wheel Training.

Please bring the following items:

• Valid permit

• Proof of current registration
• Parent/guardian certification for DL-180C signed and notarized for applicants under 18 years old (If the parent/guardian is not present at the exam)

For drivers under the age of 18 years of age, you must be a minimum of 16 years of age, have held a valid learner’s permit for a minimum of six months and have completed a minimum of 65 hours of adult-supervised driving.

There is no fee if you need to reschedule or cancel up to one week prior to your scheduled appointment.
