There is no minimum or maximum driving lessons for a person to pass their probationary drivers test unless you are under the age of 21 years of age.

If you are under the age of 21 years then you are required to complete 120 hours of supervised driving and record it in your VicRoads log book.

The number of driving lessons you need will be determined on your first driving lesson as we teach based on your skill set and driving competency.

It is completely up to you if you would like to learn in a manual or automatic vehicle.

You need to be mindful that if you obtain an automatic licence you will not be able to drive a manual vehicle until your probationary licence period has ended. If you gain a manual licence then you are able to drive both an automatic and manual vehicle immediately.

We are more than happy to assist our drivers by starting out in an automatic and then introduce manual driving once driver confidence, road law knowledge and motoring skills are established on the road.

Learning to drive a manual is a life long skill and it may be of use for work or in an emergency situation.

Based on your skill set and driving competency, we will discuss your confidence levels and establish if you prefer to drive on a quiet street or a busier road to begin with. It is critical we teach you to drive in all traffic conditions as the drive test will be conducted on quiet roads and in busy traffic.
