About us

You must have your learners permit with you for each lesson. This can be a hard copy or electronic via the mySAGOV app. Also bring your Driving Companion to record your driving hours. It is recommended that you wear comfortable footwear. Please don't wear thongs or slip-on style footwear. 

We only provide driving instruction to prepare students for their South Australian Vehicle on Road Test (VORT). At this point in time we do not offer CBT&A (logbook) instruction. 

We accept cash payment and direct debit. Payment for lessons must be made in full and prior to each lesson commencing. 

Each students driving ability with vary. After we have evaluated your driving in an initial lesson, we can offer you a projection regarding the probable quantity of lessons required before undertaking the VORT examination. 

I am a nationally qualified Motor Driving Instructor who holds a Certificate IV in Motor Vehicle Driving Instruction, approved by DIT (Department of Infrastructure and Transport). This enables me to legally provide lessons pursuant to Section 98A of the Motor Vehicles Act (SA). I have completed defensive driving techniques course, advanced four wheel drive course and have more than 20 years driving experience as a professional driver.  

Yes, we have full comprehensive vehicle insurance approved for driving instructors which also included a vehicle fitted with dual brakes. 

We also hold Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance through the Professional Driving Trainers Association South Australia (PDTA).

In South Australia there are two ways in which you can obtain your drivers licence; VORT (Vehicle On Road Test) and CBT&A (Competency Based Training and Assessment commonly known as Logbook).

VORT
This method is typically the cheaper of the methods as you can achieve the required competency level to pass the driving examination with less lessons. Your driving instructor will teach you most of the same skills and competencies as taught in logbook so you are a safe and competent driver.

The VORT examination involves a final drive along a pre-determined Government route, where you will be required to demonstrate competent driving including five slow-speed manoeuvres:

1. Moving off from a kerb
2. U-Turn
3. Three-point turn
4. 90 degree angle park
5. Reverse parallel park

Things to note with VORT, students cannot be tested by an instructor they have had lessons with. This is something we arrange for all our students. Importantly, any road law breach while undertaking a VORT examination will result in an immediate fail of the test and require a reassessment, permitted only after 14 days.

CBT&A
This method requires students to learn and demonstration 30 competencies with a final examination drive. Due to the number of competencies, more driving instruction lessons are required. At this time we do not offer CBT&A.

DIT Driver Training Industry Reform – August, 2024

Department for Infrastructure and Transport has announced (30 August, 2024) some key changes in the State Government’s proposed reforms, earmarked for implementation in around 2026. These include changes to the way learner drivers will be required to pass a practical driving test to obtain their provisional licence. These reforms focus on student and instructor safety and improving industry training, assessment and general standards, including the introduction of a Code of Conduct. More information on these proposed reforms is available at the following link:
