FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO BE DOING ON MY FIRST LESSON?
Every driver has different needs and abilities and this will also depend on how many hours the learner has driven. However, all the basic safety requirements will be taught on the first lesson, regardless of experience.  This helps give the essential knowledge to each leaner to acquire better driving habits and become a safer driver.
WHERE WILL I HAVE TO DRIVE?
This all depends on the pick up address, how long the lesson is and how how experienced the learner driver is. Communication is always made before lessons to discuss how much the leaner has driven since the last lesson and if there is anything in particular they need to work on. Bookings are made by email, phone or our contact page rather than booking online, so any needs are met in each lesson. We service the Sutherland Shire, however may go outside the Shire for longer drives.
CAN MY PARENTS COME WITH ME ON THE LESSON?
Parents are welcome and encouraged to join a lesson or two, especially in the beginning. This helps gives parents the tools to help guide them with the correct information to teach their child to become a safe driver. If parents are unable to join a lesson, communication is made with parents after each lesson to give feedback and tips.
HOW MANY LESSONS WILL I NEED BEFORE I GO FOR THE P'S TEST?
Every student learns at a different rate and some may not have access to a car or as much time to spend driving. Individual lesson plans are made for each student. We recommend the bulk of the lessons at the early stages of driving, a few check in lessons in-between and then two lessons before the test.
Bookings are made by phone, email or our contact page, rather than online so information for each lesson can be planned for.
