Since Driving Center, The appears on your website, does this mean they've been approved by the Tennessee DMV to offer driver training courses?

I've been told that either of my parents can monitor my behind-the-wheel training, so I don't have to attend a Oak Ridge Tennessee driving school like Driving Center, The to fulfill my driver training requirement. Do you know if that's true or not?
You will need to contact the Tennessee DMV or a state-approved driver training school like Driving Center, The to find out.  Some states do allow parent-taught driving, but many states do not.
What happens if I don't know how to drive a manual-shift vehicle? Will Driving Center, The allow me to do my behind-the-wheel training with an automatic-shift car?

I live in a small rural town, where there are a lot of small, unpaved roads. Will my driver training with Driving Center, The include being taught how to drive in rural areas? Or do they just offer training for urban driving?

Now that I'm 14, will Tennessee allow me to get a learner's permit to drive?
