Go Team understands that there may be conflicts that arise during the scheduled class times.  If you are unable to attend one of the sessions, we will allow you to make up a class.  You will need to contact us and let us know and we will work with you to reschedule.  

The registration fee includes the classroom portion of driver's education, the state driver's ed written test and all of the required behind the wheel driving sessions (Louisiana requires that all students complete at least 8 hours of behind the wheel driving sessions).

Once you have completed the 30 hour classroom portion of driver's education and pass the written driving test with a score of 80 or above, you are eligible to schedule behind the wheel driving sessions.  

Once you have completed all required driving sessions with our instructors, you will be given the required Certificate of Completion and any other required documents.  These documents will be given to you in a sealed envelope.  This envelope must remain sealed and may only be opened by the DMV.

A road skills test is needed in order to obtain a driver's license in Louisiana.  Road skills tests are offered at Go Team and can be scheduled by first registering for the test online and then texting your name/road skills info to 225-242-9909.

Road skills fee is $65 (non student)

$50 for a GO Team student

If a student has held a permit for at least 6 months and has turned 16 years of age, they are eligible for a road skills test.  The test must be given on the 180th day after the permit issue date.  If a student has held the permit for longer than 180 days, the student becomes eligible on their 16th birthday or after.  The test cannot be given BEFORE the date of eligibility.  There will be no exceptions to this-this is the Louisiana state law.

If a student turns 17 prior to the 180 day requirement, the student will then become eligible to take the road skills test at that time.

Yes, Go Team Driving offers Road Skills tests to anyone who is looking to obtain their license and who has completed the necessary requirements.  

The safety of the Go Team students and staff is our main priority.  All weather conditions will be closely monitored.  A session will not be cancelled unless there are dangerous weather threats, flooding or other conditions that would be considered dangerous driving conditions.  

Go Team will always contact the student to let them know that the conditions are unsafe and that the session will need to be rescheduled.  Of course, if a student does not feel comfortable driving at any time, they may also request to reschedule.

Students must cancel behind-the-wheel sessions 48 hours in advance to allow other students the opportunity to schedule in your place.  A $50 fee will be assesed to any student who cancels after the required 48 hours or to any student who does not show up for a scheduled session.

Go Team Driving will provide accommodations to students at the students request.  Please contact our office prior to registering or attending the class so that we can assure that we are able to meet your individual requests.  

The Driving School business is a small and seasonal business.

During our peak times, our instructors are busy teaching classes, driving with students or performing road skills tests.  

The best and most effective way to communicate with us is by sending a text to

225-242-9909.  This will allow us to answer any questions when there is a break in driving or at night once all driving/classes are complete.  You can also email us at drive@goteamdriving.net

We will answer you as quickly as possible and strive to do so by the end of the next business day.  If for some reason you have not received a response, please send a gentle reminder and we will get back to you ASAP.  PLease do not leave multiple messages as this will only delay the process.  

Both deposits and tuition are non-refundable. Go Team Driving understands that unpredictable circumstances arise. Therefore, we will gladly allow you to transfer your payment to any of our other class dates that better fit your needs.

A student may register/begin class before obtaining the TIP.  The student will not be able to take the written driving test or any behind the wheel sessions before they have received their permit.  

All students enrolled in driver education must obtain a TIP (Temporary Instructional Permit) from the DMV prior to taking the DRIVING PORTION of the drivers education class. To make an appointment (required) and to find out information about required documents, please visit www.expresslane.org.

The TIP may be issued to any individual that is at least 14 years of age. The TIP allows a driver education student to operate a motor vehicle when accompanied by a driver education instructor and when completing behind the wheel instruction or during the administration of a skills test. Applicants shall meet all other Office of Motor Vehicles identification requirements. 

Upon completion of driver's education, the TIP will be surrendered to OMV along with proof of completion of the driver's education course and any other necessary documents.

The cost of the TIP is $32.25. There is no additional cost to convert from the TIP to a Learner's Permit or a Full License.
