February 27 – March 25
DRIVERS ED CLASS
Students must be at least 15 to take this class and students cannot drive themselves here as they are not yet licensed to do so alone!
After six hours of class, students take their written test with us and can go get their permit from DPS!
The classroom portion is over in 16 days! The driving should be finished by 90 days and the 14 hours required by DPS will be done with GCDA if they took the entire course!
Students or parents can chose the day/time for their in-vehicle lessons from our weekly driving list by coming in or calling! We generally drive seven days a week: after school, and on weekends during the school year and throughout the day in the summer!
Students can take the full course, only the classroom, or only the driving portion. The classroom has an actual instructor to facilitate student learning, not computers! Our in-vehicle instructors have been professionally trained and safety is our number one priority.
We take credit/debit online and cash in the office. There is a $50 non-refundable fee if you request a refund after the 3rd business day of receipt of payment. All cash transactions require a receipt to be issued. Depending on your financial institution, payments on-line may be processed as GCDA LLC, Gulf Coast Driving Academy, or PayPal.
GCDA is an approved DPS Third Party Skills Tester so we can offer the road skills test for the actual license but it is an additional fee. You can also our vehicle if you test with us but, since we assume the insurance liability, it is an extra fee. However, you can use anyone’s vehicle if their insurance allows. The road skills test takes place at our Lake Jackson location.
We are in and out throughout the day so our phone may go to answering mode. You are welcome to leave a message for us to return your call when back in the office. If you need a response sooner, you can TEXT 979-529-8816 or email gcda2021@gmail.com as these are monitored when we are out of office.
