Lessons for Test Preparation

If your test date is approaching, you can book a focused pre-test driving lesson.

This service allows your instructor to observe your driving and help correct problems involving:

• Observation
• Speed
• Road positioning
• Roundabouts
• Intersections
• Lane changes
• Hazard identification
• Manoeuvres
• Independent decision-making

A pre-test lesson includes instruction and corrections. It is different from a mock test or an official Class C assessment.

Mock Driving Test in Casuarina

A mock driving test is designed to recreate test-like conditions.

During the mock-assessment section, assistance is limited so your instructor can observe how safely and independently you drive. Feedback is provided afterwards, explaining your strengths, mistakes and areas requiring more practice.

A mock driving test is for preparation only and does not provide an official licence result.

Class C Driving Tests

Eligible applicants can enquire about Class C driving-test appointments with an MVR-accredited Class C driving examiner.

An automatic vehicle may be available for the test. Applicants who want to complete a manual assessment may use their own suitable and legally compliant manual vehicle, subject to prior confirmation.

During an official driving test, the examiner must assess the standard demonstrated and cannot provide driving instruction.

Automatic and Manual Driving Services

Our training vehicle is automatic.

Manual driving lessons and manual tests may be arranged using the learner’s own suitable manual vehicle. Please advise us in advance whether you require an automatic or manual service.
