Driving Lessons are usually structured according to NZ Driver Training Syllabus and are designed to introduce you to a new skill every lesson. I will guide you through the process, explain what is required from you, show you how to do it if needed, and practice it with you to make sure you fully understand it and can do it yourself. Then I expect you to practice the skill in your own time with your friend or relative. For every hour you spend with me I expect you to do your own practice for at least two hours. In this case you will be progressing reasonably fast towards our goal – for you to become a safe and skilful driver. Lack of your own practice will slow down the process. Either way I will do my best to ensure the best outcome every time. The lesson duration is one hour which includes around 10 minutes briefing, debriefing and questions time, 10 minutes theory and 40 minutes driving. Time frames are a guide only. I will pick you up and drop you off at your specified location.

Street Talk

If you hold a Restricted Licence you may be interested in the completion of the “Street Talk” course. This NZTA approved course will allow you to reduce your restricted stage term from 18 months to 12 months if you are under 25 years of age, or from 6 to 3 months if you are over 25 years of age. The course is comprised of four 2 hour class room sessions over a period of two weeks in a group environment. In the class we discuss safe driving habits, behaviour and attitude, hazard identification and correct responses and other related topics. After we complete the class room stage I will conduct an in-car training session with each participant individually. One hour training comprises the simulation of Full Licence Test and the assessment of your driving habits. As a participant who successfully completed both stages you will receive the certificate which you have to present to NZTA agent at the time of booking your Full Licence Test. You must hold the Restricted Licence for at least 6 months to be eligible to attend the course. The course is conducted once a month subject to NZTA requirement of minimum of 6 participants. Please note that this certificate may be quite useful in your CV as some employers are actually requesting it, especially if you are required to drive a business vehicle at work (e.g. all new Police recruits are required to have this certificate).
