Who We Are

A Team of Driving Instructors Who Care

We're a team of highly experienced, motivated driving instructors who coach Learner, experienced and refresher drivers across Melbourne. We've been in this industry for many years — and after all that time, the goal hasn't changed: to make every student the best driver they can be.

We teach road rules. We teach hazard perception. But most of all, we teach calm, confident driving for life — not just the test.

OUR MISSION

Train Hard, Pass Easy

We train our students hard so the VicRoads driving test feels easy. That's exactly why so many of our beginner drivers pass on their first attempt — not luck, just preparation.

OUR VISION

Safer Drivers, Safer Roads

We want to reduce the frequency of road accidents by developing drivers who are alert, skilled, and responsive — drivers who carry their skills with them long after they pass the test.

Learner Permit Checklist

How to Get Your VicRoads Learner Permit

A clear seven-step roadmap from picking up the handbook to walking out of VicRoads with your Learner Permit in hand.

01

Read the Official Handbook

Get the latest "Road to Solo Driving" handbook and study every chapter — your Learner Permit Test covers all four parts.

02

Take the Online Practice Test

Run the practice test as many times as you need. Each round is randomly generated, and wrong answers point you back to the right chapter.

03

Pick Your Exam Date

Decide when you want to sit the test. Most learners feel ready after a week or two of focused study.

04

Book the Appointment & Pay

Make your booking online via the VicRoads website. Two fees apply: an appointment booking fee and the test fee itself.

05

Fill Out the Application Form

Complete the licence/learner permit form — leave it unsigned. You'll sign it in person at VicRoads on test day.

06

Bring the Right Documents

On test day, bring: your unsigned application form, one Category A ID (passport or birth certificate), one Category B ID (Medicare card, bank statement or student ID) and proof of address if not shown elsewhere.

07

Sit the Test at VicRoads

Two parts: a 5-minute eyesight test and a computer-based 32-question knowledge test (10–30 minutes). Get 25 of 32 correct (78%) and you pass. Your result stays valid for 12 months.

Overseas Licence Conversion
For Permanent & Temporary Residents Full guidance every step
Specialist Service

Overseas Licence Conversion to Victoria

Moving to Victoria? If you're planning to stay longer than six months on a permanent visa, you'll need to convert your overseas licence — and we'll walk you through every step of the way.

From recognised countries, it can be as simple as paying a fee and skipping the tests. From unrecognised countries, you'll need to pass the learner permit exam, hazard perception test, eyesight test and practical driving test. Either way, we tailor our lessons to your existing driving habits, correct what doesn't suit Victorian roads, and have you ready in record time.

  • Full guidance through the VicRoads conversion process
  • Personalised lessons that correct overseas habits for Victorian roads
  • Mock test preparation for both knowledge and practical exams
  • Help understanding Victorian road rules, signs and right-of-way
  • Friendly support for all visa types and country origins
