Third-party tester authorization

Definition

A state grant letting the school administer the road test its students would take at the DMV.

Why It Matters

Where states delegate road testing, an authorized school sells the whole journey, lessons through license, and families pay for the certainty and the skipped DMV line. The authorization is earned against state audit standards, held by the school or its examiners, and its transferability in a sale is a state-by-state question that belongs in diligence's first hour. The trade's own brokers call it the difference between a defensible local business and a commodity lesson provider.
