01First lesson
What to bring to your first lesson
Your learner permit, your glasses if you wear them and flat, comfortable shoes. We start somewhere quiet, so there is no pressure.
-
02Habits
The mirror habit examiners look for
Check your mirrors every five to eight seconds, and always before you signal, brake or change lanes. Say it out loud at first.
-
03Practice
Make practice drives count
Short drives with family between lessons help a lot. Ask your instructor for the skill of the week and stick to just that.

How test day works with us

I failed with another school and nearly gave up. Two months here and I passed first time with them. Calm, clear and never late.

The progress notes after each lesson meant we knew exactly what to practise on weekend drives. Our son passed at 17.

Did the two-week intensive before starting a new job. Hard work, great teaching, and I passed on the Friday.

Questions and answers
Still not sure? Call 555-0121, seven days a week.
How much does a driving lesson cost?
Manual lessons are $58 an hour and automatic lessons $62. Blocks of 5 and 10 lessons cost less per hour, and pick-up is always included.
Manual or automatic: which should I learn in?
Automatic is quicker to learn and most people pass sooner. Manual takes a few more lessons but lets you drive either kind of car. Your instructor can help you decide.
How many lessons will I need?
Most learners with no experience need around 25 to 35 hours, plus practice at home. After your first lesson we give you an honest estimate.
Can you pick me up from school or work?
Yes. Lessons can start and finish at home, school or work anywhere in our areas, at no extra cost.
Can I use your car for the test?
Yes. Our test day package includes a warm-up lesson and the car for the test. It is included in every intensive course.
How do I become an instructor with you?
If you have held a full licence for at least four years and love helping people, call us or use the form. We pay for your training and help you through every step.
