Behind The Wheel Driving Structure Policy:
Once a student has successfully completed his or her class along with successfully passing the final exam, the student will schedule the driving sessions. Each student will be trained using a certified, licensed and insured vehicle with a dual-brake system. Students are scheduled in (2) four-hour time slots on different days or in (4) two hour time slots. Students may be picked up by the driving instructor at their home, school, or workplace within a 10-mile radius from our office. During the scheduling, a date and time, along with the pickup/drop off location will be scheduled in accordance of a mutually convenient time for the instructor and parents/students. Students must score a 70% on the behind the wheel driving training assessment.
The student must have his or her Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) card that was issued by the Office of Motor Vehicles for each behind-the-wheel session. If a student arrives or is picked up and does not have the Temporary Instructional Permit (TIP) card on hand, the behind-the-wheel driving session will be canceled and the student/parent will be charged a $25.00 cancellation fee to cover the instructor’s cost. This fee will be required before the next scheduled session can begin.
Driving Delay Policy:
At iDrive Teen Driving Academy we strive to work as fast as possible to avoid an extended waiting period to complete the behind-the-wheel sessions. Our goal is to have each student completed as soon as possible, but no longer than two (2) months for the students after completing the classroom portion as permitted by the State of Louisiana.
Delayed waiting times may occur in the event of the following:
(1) Inclement weather. In the event that the weather does not permit, our instructors will notify the parent/student to reschedule the behind-the-wheel driving session to ensure the safety of our students and our instructors.
(2) Summer/Holidays. The summer and holiday classes are considered the busy season. Please be advised that the summer and holiday courses may delay the behind-the-wheel session. However, each student is expected to complete the entire course within three (3) months from the last date of their enrolled classroom portion course.

This fee will be required before the next scheduled session can begin. Certificates will be held until all fees are paid. No certificate will be awarded until the course requirements are met.
Returned Check Policy:
Upon receipt of the returned check, the issuer will be notified and informed they have ten days to make *restitution, including a $35.00 NFS fee, to prevent any further collection activity. Returned checks, along with the state’s maximum allowable returned check fee, may be electronically presented to your bank. A hold will be placed on the individual or his or her child’s certificate. Payment for a returned check must be received in the form of cash, cashier’s check, or money order. A personal check will not be accepted as repayment for a returned check.
Refund Policy:
The $200 Deposit or full class payment is nonrefundable. Any person who has submitted a payment in full and wishes to cancel a reservation can reschedule to another class at a later date. If a student does not attend on the first day of class, he or she will not be given a refund, but will be allowed to reschedule to a different class upon approval of the school if there are vacancies. A full refund will only be issued if a student has been instructed or trained by an unlicensed driving instructor. If a parent decides to have the driving portion completed at a different driving school due to the wait time being longer than expected but not exceeding our deadline given by the State of Louisiana then we can furnish the paperwork to do so. A partial refund reflecting the cost of the behind the wheel will be refunded.
Class Absence Policy:
Students can not and should not miss class. If any necessary absence occurs during the classroom portion of instruction, the student must contact our office to arrange a makeup date and time in order to complete the in class portion of the driver’s education course. Students are strongly encouraged to not miss a class as rescheduling is difficult and may be weeks later.
