DRIVING TESTS
Learner drivers are eligible to take the practical driving test when:
- they are 17 years or older;
- they have held a learner licence for twelve months or more; and
- their logbook is approved (applicable only to learners aged 17–24 years)
Our driving instructors can prepare you thoroughly for the 30-40 minute driving test so you know exactly what to expect. A pre- test assessment is a very helpful tool - it enables you to be put under test conditions by participating in a mock test with the instructor. The results are reviewed and further training can be provided if required.
We provide tips to help you pass your driving test first time round by:
- fine-tuning driving skills
- correcting bad habits
- enhancing manoeuvre techniques, such as reverse parking & hill starts
- assessing road rule knowledge; and
- taking you on test routes
Our professional driving instructors can motivate and inspire you to drive to your highest potential. We’ll help you overcome your nerves and focus on your strengths. You need to have good driving skills and be well-prepared - then relax and pass your driving test with confidence and ease.
Chevron Driving School is renowned for training students to a very high standard and as a result we have an exceptionally high pass rate on the coast. Gold Coast testing centres are located at Southport, Helensvale, Currumbin Waters and Bermuda St, Burleigh.
I am writing to thank you so much for teaching me. You have taught me some fantastic skills and given me the opportunity to get my licence. Being the 26th person in a row to pass my driving test. - CONGRATULATIONS, thanks Kathleen

INTERSTATE LEARNERS
A current interstate learner licence can be used to have driving lessons in Queensland, but you will need to apply for a Queensland learner licence prior to booking your driving test.
OVERSEAS LICENCE CONVERSION
Overseas drivers are encouraged to read Your Keys to Driving in Queensland – an easy-to-read booklet on the Australian Road Rules and the Queensland driver licensing system. This booklet is available at newsagents, Queensland Transport centres and also online at www.transport.qld.gov.au
An overseas driver is required to pass the written road rules test prior to having professional driving lessons and undertaking the practical driving test. Exemptions do apply in certain circumstances so it is best to contact Queensland Transport for advice.
If you need assistance, Chevron Driving School can provide tuition to help you understand the Australian road rules, prepare you for the written test and arrange the practical driving test.
Overseas drivers are required to produce the following documents:
- Current Passport / Visa
- Current Foreign Driver Licence – in English
- Customer Reference Number – provided by Queensland Transport after passing the written test.
As the legislation is quite complex and can change, we suggest you contact Queensland Transport on 13 23 80 for further clarification.
