I'm a U.S. citizen living in Colombia for 11+ years and do not have a driver's license of any kind. Can I get a Colombian driver's license? Maybe go to a school here?

Thanks for any replies,
Raymond a.k.a. caliray

I have been coming to Colombia for many years. As an American I would never be crazy enough to drive here, as everyone knows it is total chaos. If you have a major accident and should happen to kill someone get ready to spend some significant time in a Colombian jail. It ain't worth it.
