Our most popular Course for Learner drivers. Bookings are always filling fast so be quick to book as spaces are limited. Participants can now choose to combine both the ACT Safer Driver Course and the ACT Vulnerable Road User Program into a single workshop which can be completed in a single online session of four and a half hours (Sundays 10am to 2.30pm. This will be followed by the Safer Driver Course Part Two practical component (drive) which will be arranged between the student and the Accredited Driving Instructor for a time convenient to both.
Also, choosing to do both of these together, participants can save $30 and receive 30HOURS towards their required driving hours.
All participants must have held their Learner Licence for a period of at least THREE MONTHS. Your Learner Licence must show that you were under the age of 25 at the time it was issued (or renewed). It is recommended that participants have at least 30 hours with a driving supervisor OR 10 hours with an Accredited Driving Instructor.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ:
WHEN BOOKING A COURSE, PLEASE MAKE SURE PAYMENT IS MADE AT THE TIME OF BOOKING, OTHERWISE THE SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY DELETE YOUR BOOKING AFTER TEN MINUTES. THE REASON FOR THIS IS THAT SOMETIMES STUDENTS BOOK A TEMPORARY SPACE AND THEN FORGET TO PAY, (OR INTEND TO PAY LATER, BUT FORGET), WHICH LEAVES ONE LESS SPOT FOR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO ATTEND THE CLASS.
When you book for the Pre-Learner Licence Course, you will be required to complete it over TWO CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS. All our Pre-Learner Licence Courses, at present, are run weekly, on a Monday 5pm to 10pm (Part One) and the next night, Tuesday 5pm to 10pm (Part Two) or Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 4pm for your convenience (during certain times). Shortly after booking, you will receive email confirmation on booking and payment. The email will only mention the Monday (Part One) but will also cover your booking for the Tuesday (Part Two) session as well. You will need to complete both consecutive nights online, as well as successfully completing the Road Rules Knowledge Test, to pass the Course. Note: We will be running extra Pre-Learner Licence Courses during School Holidays.
You will need a desktop computer (preferred) or a Laptop, iPad, an iPhone, with a built-in camera. We will send you more details about the Knowledge Test by email. We will also email your Student Workbook and other Course materials to you the same day you sign up for the Course.
Before your Course date, usually the night before, we will send you a ZOOM link which you can then use to join the class.
During the workshop you will need to be aware of external noise. You may mute your microphone at any time but please be considerate of others in the group who are there to study and complete the course. Once you start a course, you must finish to be eligible for the certificate. The Course is both fun and very informative!
Making Our Roads Safer For New Drivers
Our new and young drivers are over-represented in road crashes. To make our roads safer for new drivers a range of changes have been made, which apply to all learner and provisional licences issued or renewed from 1 January 2020. Some of the changes include:
- Required driving hours for learners:
- If you are under 25 when you are issued with your learner licence you must undertake a minimum of 100 supervised driving hours, including a minimum of 10 hours at night-time.
- If you are 25 or older when issued with your learner licence you must undertake a minimum of 50 supervised driving hours, including a minimum of five hours at night-time.
- Introduction of a mandatory Hazard Perception Test.
- Introduction of a two staged provisional licence:
- A red P plate for the first 12 months (P1) with late night peer passenger restrictions.
- A green P plate for the remaining two years (P2). If you are 25 or older when you are issued with your provisional licence, you will be a P2 for the entire three-year provisional licence period.
- Reduced demerit point threshold for learner drivers from 12 points to four points.
- A provisional driver will no longer be able to increase their demerit point threshold or be exempt from displaying P-Plates.
