NOLA Driving Institute: Reviews
Positive experience: I had a great beginner driving experience at Nola. The class itself is ok, very cold and makes you very sleepy but they get the job done. They took me all the material and made sure I was prepared for the paper test. My driving hours on the other hand was better than my actual class experience. Thanks to my driving instructor Brenda, she was the best driving instructor I could have asked for. She took the time out the day to teach me things that’s not even a requirement for the driving test. She was really sweet and made me feel really comfortable while in the driver seat. Thanks Mrs. Brenda, wouldn’t know what I know today without you.
Fantastic experience: Thank you NOLA DRIVING INSTITUTE for all the help my class my my test my driving test was awesome experience I would like to thank Lance if that the correct name of a very sweet blonde fashionable friendly person I met I would love to give him a big time 5 stars
Fantastic experience: I went to the adult class, which only took 6 hours in class and 8 behind the wheel. The best part was the experience driving with this guy named Trevor. Really nice guy. He was really calm, which made me feel calm. If you are new to driving. This is definitely the place.

Thanks for the review Ashley
Fantastic experience: I took the adult class and it was real nice. The instructor took his time to make Sure that we understand everything that we were reviewing. Before it was time for test he did Do a pop quiz to make sure that we was actually paying attention and it was fun because everyone in the class was able to join in on it. So if you passed the test you was then scheduled a time to do the driving portion which was fun because who doesn’t enjoy driving. I had two different instructors Miss Doraaaaaaaaa ♀️and Miss Carlie for the second round and they were excellent instructors. They took the time to help me understand what each sign on the highway and road actually means and gave tips on driving. They wasn’t the type of instructors that a just pass you for the hack of it to get it over with, they kept it real if you do something wrong they corrected you periodt. BUT ANYWAYS I PASSED YOU GUYS IMMA LEGAL DRIVER ♀️ Ookuur
Thank you for such an amazing review

Thank you for the review. We are over the moon that you had a great experience. If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call.
Fantastic experience: I took the adult class so 6 hours in class and 8 behind the wheel. Both were very easygoing, I felt comfortable and like I got a lot of good information. The in class hours were very productive and clear. My time behind the wheel was even better thanks to my driving instructor Carlie! I think having an instructor that’s clear, good at communicating, patient, and encouraging is very important and that is exactly what I got with her. Would definitely recommend!
Thanks for the review Naya. Carlie always does an awesome job.

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor Carlie is an amazing instructor & I couldn’t have gotten anyone better. She is very informative, patient, & willing to teach you everything you need to know. If you are nervous I highly recommend you to her because she will make you feel very comfortable & you won’t be nervous! If you don’t want to be quite because you think your going to get bored driving for hours, trust me Carlie is the instructor for you! From the moment I got in the car to the moment I left, I knew more about driving than my whole family lol (kidding, a little). Her communication skills & positive energy will keep you going & make you confident! Trust me Carlie will teach you all you need to know! Thanks again Carlie!

Thank you for the review. Good luck in all your future ventures. Be safe on the road we appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: Best experience I could ask for. The driving experience equally matched with customer service. Every question I had, as a parent, was answered. I received responses regardless of the time. MILITARY SUPPORTIVE!!!! My son was home for military leave, and they went above and beyond to school him before he had to return to duty! I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE, MILITARY OR NOT! You will not have a better experience (driver or nervous parent).
Thank you so much. As a veteran I take care of the brave young men and women that make all of our lives and the American Dream possible. Thank you to you and your son. God speed to you both. We were blessed to have a hero as a student.
