First Choice Driving School

"We love what we do!" - Chad Batson CEO/ director of 1st Choice

1st Choice has been in business since 2004.  Since that time they've seen exponential growth.  Quickly ascending into the premier driver's educational school in the area, they've been recognized by the Better Business Bureau as having excelled in customer service and satisfaction.  Accredited with the BBB, 1st choice is also licensed with the Louisiana Public Safety and Office of Motor Vehicles in Baton Rouge.  That means they offer they're students more than just a great education and memory of driver's ed, but also (and maybe more important) a great discount on car insurance. 

 "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
