Ms. Duplessie was wonderful at explaining the process to me and working around our crazy work/school schedules. The instructor was knowledgeable and friendly. He and the tester gave constructive criticism in a very positive manner which made my son feel more at ease and less nervous!! Thank you for your guidance during this process!! Heidi Read Less

I took the 14 HOUR DRIVING COURSE for people over 18 years old. They do the permit test and are also qualified to give the actual driving test. The course itself is $400 and include 6 hours of test-prep and 8 hours behind the wheel. I also took my exam there for a fee. Very convenient, fast service. Read Less

To be clear, I did not end up going with this driving school, but I think it's good to share the experience I had here for others.  I am not sharing my driving experience with them, but their management and treatment of customers prior to enrollment.I already have my license and just want some practice.  So does my wife.  I called and was told I'd be able to get 8 hours of behind-the-wheel practice for $350 split between two people.  They said I need to show up at their office to show the licenses.  When I came there, they made me fill up a bunch of paperwork, and then said to confirm a charge of $800.  When I said no, they seemed confused as to what I expected.  Then, in their grand generosity, the gentleman helping me was able to convince his manager to charge ONLY $560.I asked for an explanation as to what is going on, and he explained that he was able to take off the charge for the test since I wasn't taking it, and that $560 is a steal for 8 hours.  For clarification, he is telling me $70 per hour is a steal.  Then he was able to lower it to $480, which is $120 more than what I was told.  When I explained that I was told differently, the manager said I probably poorly explained the situation and that there is no way to split 8 hours of practice.  Of course this contradicts what I was told over the phone, but from a sleazy salesperson perspective, it's solid.  Basically, you trick someone to waste their time to get over there and fill out the paperwork.  Once they mark up the price, you can be fooled into thinking you just wasted all this time and that you don't want all your effort to go to waste - which is why they make you fill out the paperwork first.  However, even if you end up paying more, you will not get back the time or money lost.  This is called a sunk-cost fallacy, so watch out for it.So, to summarize, they marked up the price more than 2x what they told me over the phone, then pretended they were giving me a steep from that starting point ($480 instead of $800 is a steal!), and blaming me for poorly communicating.  But it's just a ploy.  Do not fall for this tactic and walk away.  Go with Dat Driving Academy or a private instructor.  Your wallet and your dignity will thank you.

Went here with my BF to take his road skills test. The first problem came when the manager said we couldn't use the vehicle becAuse the break tag "expired" it wasn't! He read the brake tag wrong. So my BF went ahead and took his test. Because I called the manager out on his mistake he purposely failed my BF after he told him which way to turn! He got in that lane to turn he changed his mind and told him no we making a right turn! If there was a zero rating I would give it! When you try to be supportive to black businesses that's what happens never again! I would never patrionize them again or recommend them to anyone! All they do is steal money! ✌️ Read Less

Good instructors, and very informative classes. I took the 6 hour class and then 8 hours of driving lessons with driving instructor, Beatrice. It was all a smooth and enjoyable experience, and I learned a lot about road safety. I would recommend this school to anyone. Read Less

Love the teachers...theres 3 parts the written test, practice road test for 8 hours which equal up to 4 days than the official road test thats $40 i passed loved it first try with everything ☺Total was $440 well worth itRead Less

I have never used this company, but I can honestly say that I never will, and certainly will NEVER recommend it to anyone. I was behind one of their vehicles one day, with a student driving, that stopped in traffic for a red light with the rear end of the vehicle over a train track. I took a photo as evidence (which can be viewed on my profile). If I could post the photo in this review, I would. The #1 rule of driving safety around train tracks is that you never, under ANY circumstances, stop on the tracks. Please feel free to visit my profile to view the photo as I have made the photo public. Read Less

The instructor for 8-hour training was nice and funny. However, he had to run some errand a couple times (going to Capital One, for example) during the training. So technically, I did not really get full 8 hours of driving training. But it is not a big deal.I took the road test the following day. The tester was also nice and not strict at all. All I had to do was stopping completely at stop sign, turning right, turning left, parking 90 degree and changing lane. He even gave advise while I was parking so parking was a lot easier. Read Less

The most stupid school! I have taken 6 times road tests but all failed. Do you believe that? 6 times! The instructor was rude when I had my extra 2 hours training, yelling at me until I yelled at him back. Everything was bad and I think they want earn more money so failed me again, again and again! A bunch of sun of bitch! Read Less

I had a wonderful experience at the school. The instructors were all very patient  and understanding in both the classroom and driving settings. A complimentary lunch is provided during the classroom lesson, which was a nice surprise. My driving instructor was always prompt to pick me up on time and would customize my lesson specific for my needs.My only negative is that scheduling driving lessons can be quite  competitive during the Aug-Sept months!

PROS: you're gonna finally get your driver's license. no matter what you do!CONS: if you expect a schedule for the classes you are going to be pissed. if you have a job or other time restrictions, you are screwed since they don't care. you pay them full, but you have no rights to complain about mismanagement. I went to 6 hours of class for written test and passed the test. then I wanted to schedule for behind the wheel practice which is 8 hours (four 2 hour practice) which they said you have to wait 2-3 weeks to be scheduled. that's a rip off. If they have told me this I would never pay and go to class at first place. their staff who is in charge of scheduling the classes was on leave and nobody else could do her job. the front desk lady is a rude unthoughtful person who ignored me when I was talking to her.

Excellent! This is where I sent my daughter for her classes and my other kids will follow. She was very comfortable with the staff. They are friendly and they've been around for years so they know what they're doing. Family owned, 2 generations strong! Read Less

My experience using this school has been almost entirely positive.  My driving instructor was an absolute gem (you go, Mr. Blue!) and he gave me the skills I needed to pass my test and move forward as a licensed driver with confidence.My issues are small but worth noting.  More than once I was asked to change my driving instruction schedule around, which when you work full time can be a burden to do at the last minute.  Also, their website is not entirely up to date, in that it does not fully explain the current process to attain a license for drivers over 18.  As of August 2014, third party schools like this one are able to give the written portion of the driving test at the school, in addition to the driving test itself.  I just would have studied more prior to coming in for my classroom learning portion if I had known this.  However, they did a good job of teaching us pretty much everything we needed to know before we took the exam.All in all, a very smooth experience and an amazing teacher - definitely recommend!

I'll only comment on the 3rd party driving test. They offer the best price 55$ with their car or 30$ if you had your own car. Another 3rd party wanted 40$ for the exam and 50$ for the car which an utter and complete rip off. Their instructor is a straight forward guy who will guide you through your exam and gives you comments at the end on anything that went wrong. You can just walk in and take the exam whenever you want if no one is there before you arrive. I really loved the place. This is my first license test in the US after coming from SA on a scholarship. I recommend the place for anyone who wants to take the skills test. This is by far the best place you will find. Read Less

This is the best driving school in New Orleans there staff is highly recommend. My driving teacher Quivanda and test facilitator Jermaine was tremendous these ppl are awesome even there wonderful staff in the office. I've complete my four (4) driving class and recieve my CERTIFICATE I went back over there today to pay for the driving test I just pass :) now I only got to go to DMV for my written test. Thank you all Keniel Read Less

I was skeptical, everyone else sent their kids to Victor Manning.  I could not be more pleased with the staff and the overall experience.  My son, 16, didn't even dread going!  They even provided pizza on the last day of class.  So much better than going out to Metairie....so much better!!!

Oh. Hell. No.PROS:- one of the only schools located in metro-New Orleans- Mr. Clarence, my driving instructor was A M A Z I N G. Knowledgable, straight up, and really funnyCONS:- Yolanda, the schedule keeper is a HOT MESS. This woman strung me along for over a month with her mismanagement of the schools schedule. She really, honestly is just one of those people who doesn't have a mind for keeping track of lots of different things and multitasking. Worse, when you would call her on it, she would blame you or everyone else  and take no responsibility. Ugh, I hate having to keep after people, especially when I'm paying (a lot) for something and getting very little in return.- The whole experience really felt like a scam. Aside from my time with Mr. Clarence, I didn't learn very much.Bottom line, if you're getting your drivers license and have to go to driving school, Safe Driving School might be a good choice, but be VERY clear with Yolanda and don't miss any of your appointments or you will be s c r e w e d Read Less
