Lesson AssessmentLESSON ASSESSMENT

A full assessment of your driving ability is carried out during the first lesson and recorded on a Learner Driver Assessment Form. This form is adjusted after each lesson and kept with the driving instructor for future reference.

LEARNER LICENCE AND LOG BOOK

Students must bring their learner licence to every lesson. Learners should also bring along their logbook so the driving time can be recorded and verified by the instructor at the end of the lesson. Remember, the first 10 hours of training with a driving school equates to 30 hours in the logbook.

REFRESHER LESSONS

We offer an intense driving program to enhance the driving skills of licensed drivers on the Gold Coast. Age is no barrier – our students have included young and mature drivers – the eldest on our records being 92 years of age.

UPGRADE TO A MANUAL LICENCE

In Queensland, an automatic driver licence can be used as a learner licence for manual driving. We recommend having lessons in the manual car prior to sitting for the practical test. When you pass a manual driving test you will be issued with a Driver Licence Class C, which allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars.
