Page OverviewThe Basics
Whether you're applying for your learner's permit or full license, all first-time applicants in Louisiana are required to take and successfully complete either a six-hour pre-licensing course or a 38-hour driver education course.
NOTE: The six-hour courses are for people who are at least 17 years old and applying for their permits or first-time Class E licenses. The 38-hour courses are for 15- and 16-year-olds applying for their permits.
When you apply, you'll need to take your certificate showing proof that you successfully completed the course.
The courses are approved by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections. The Louisiana OMV provides online lists of school locations and contact information.
Additional Education
In addition to taking one of the mandatory courses, it's a good idea to study the Louisiana Class D & E Drivers Guide.
The guide provides you with information about the rules of the road in Louisiana, penalties for traffic violations, and tips for driving safely.
