Enrollment & Documents

Q: Do I need a Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP Card) before starting class?
A: Yes. All students must obtain a TIP Card from the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles (OMV) before enrolling in any driver education course.

​

Q: Can I start class without a TIP Card?
A: No. You must have your TIP Card with you on the first day of class to participate.

​

Q: What documents do I need to bring on the first day of class?
A: Bring your TIP Card, a copy of your birth certificate, proof of residency, and any additional identification required by the OMV.

 

Payments & Refunds

Q: Do you offer a payment plan?
A: Yes. Pay your $75 deposit to reserve your seat, then:

• Payment 1: Due before the classroom portion begins.

• Payment 2: Due before your behind-the-wheel lessons.

​

Q: Can I pay the full balance online?
A: You may pay the $75 deposit online. The remaining balance must be paid in person on the first day of class.

​

Q: Can I get a refund?
A: Yes, in certain cases. If you cancel in writing at least 5 business days before class starts, if you are not accepted by the school, or if the school discontinues a course, you will receive a full refund. Refunds are not available once the classroom portion is completed, or if a student is dismissed for behavior. All refunds are processed within 30 days by company check.

 

Classroom & Scheduling

Q: What happens if I miss a class or lesson?
A:

• Students (or parents/guardians for teens) must notify the school at least 48 hours in advance if they need to cancel or reschedule a classroom session or behind-the-wheel lesson.

• A $75 cancellation fee will be charged if notice is not given within 48 hours.

• This policy applies in all cases — including illness, withdrawal, termination of enrollment, or failure to attend.

• The fee will be added to the student’s account and must be paid before continuing training.
