Once a student has successfully completed his or her class along with successfully passing the final exam, the student will be contacted by one of our driving instructors to schedule the driving sessions. Each student will be trained using a certified, licensed and insured vehicle with a dual-brake system.

This fee will be required before the next scheduled session can begin. After completion of the behind-the-wheel portion, we will provide a sealed envelope that will be required by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles for your child to obtain his or her learner's permit or driver's license. Inside this sealed envelope, there will be a yellow “Certificate of Completion” certificate. This certificate is your copy for record-keeping purposes.
