Reviews
What is it like to learn with us?
We ask every learner after their test. Here is what a few of them said.
Five stars
“My instructor was so patient, and somehow made every lesson fun. I went from scared of roundabouts to passing first time in eleven weeks.”
“As a parent I loved the progress reports after each lesson. We always knew what to practise on the weekend, and she passed with one minor fault.”
“I was a nervous 40-year-old who had never driven. Nobody made me feel silly, and now I drive myself to work every day.”
“The intensive course fitted around uni. Three weeks of lessons, one mock test, one pass. Brilliant value.”
Your licence starts with one lesson
FAQ
Questions learners ask us
Can’t find your answer? Call 555-0113 and talk to a real person, seven days a week.
How many lessons will I need?
It depends on you, but most learners need 25 to 40 hours with an instructor. After your first lesson we give you an honest estimate and a plan.
Do you teach automatic and manual?
Yes, both. Automatic is quicker to learn, manual gives you a licence for any car. Manual lessons cost a few dollars more.
Where do lessons start?
Wherever suits you in our areas: home, school, work or the train station. Pick-up and drop-off are always included.
Can I use your car for my driving test?
Yes. The test day package includes an hour of warm-up driving and our dual-control car for the test.
Do lesson packs expire?
No. Use your lessons at your own pace, and if you pass early we refund any lessons you have not used.
What is the Safer Driver course?
A five-hour course on hazards, night and wet driving and sharing the road. It is open to anyone with a learner permit or a new licence.
