We offer long and varied hours for training and our highly qualified trainer is available to teach you. Please go to the bookings tab to see the calendar for available spots. If you require lessons outside of the normal hours, please contact Andy’s Auto Driving School by email to discuss the time required. We are very flexible and can create a time spot for you.

This depends on the individual, as every student has different abilities, needs, levels of experience and different opportunities to practice. Be aware of anyone who “quotes” a number of lessons over the phone as it is impossible, without first assessing your current skill levels. Once our Driving Instructor has assessed your current skill level, ability and have ascertained how much practice you can obtain between lessons, we will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate. Please keep in mind that you can never have too many lessons as the more professional training you have then the safer you will become prior to going solo.

In our opinion learning to drive should be a partnership between the learner, driving instructor and experienced drivers from friends or family. The more practice a learner driver can have then the safer they will become when it is time to go “solo.” Many parents send their children to us first to teach the student the basics prior to commencing the practice with the family. Driving practice is vital and the recommendation is that a new driver has 120 hours “experience” prior to sitting for their practical driving test.

We take the safety of our customers and instructors very seriously. Accordingly, we maintain the following standards for our vehicle. All vehicles have at least 5-star safety rating (which means ABS brakes and air bags) reputable mechanics regularly services all vehicles to ensure that the vehicle is in excellent condition. All vehicles are kept clean and tidy. Checks are undertaken by the instructor to check lights, tyres, indicators and glass. Our instructor is a member of the ADTA and hold current Professional Indemnity and Public Liability insurance. All cars are comprehensively insured with reputable insurance companies.

If you use our vehicle for a practical driving test with a Government Licence Examiner based test and the Instructor is not present in the vehicle during the practical driving test, or if the Instructor is present and you fail to follow the directions given by the Instructor during the lesson, you will be responsible for the lower of the cost of repairs relating to damage caused or the insurance excess applicable, should the vehicle be damaged for whatever reason. Current excess for this is $2000.

This time frame will vary for absolutely every student. You are ready for the practical driving test when you can drive confidently and consistently and safely without the help of Andy’s Auto Driving School. As you are getting closer, your Instructor will run you through a mock test to demonstrate what stage you are up to. Driving involves combining theory with physical skills and judgement. Practice is essential and the more practice you have, the less number of professional driving lessons you may require to be at the standard required to pass the test. Practice is vital and the requirement is that a new driver has 100 hours of logbook experience prior to sitting for their practical driving test.

10 Lessons with Andy’s Auto Driving School driving instructor will count as 30 driving hours for your logbook. However, you need to be aware that once you have completed your first 10 lessons, a driving lesson with a driving instructor then counts as one lesson for one hour of practice driving for your Logbook. A lot of students find doing the entire 100 hours with their parents or another allocated driver is a really big project. Logging 30 hours with a driving instructor is a great help for most parents.

Where the learner has followed all instructions of the driving instructor there will be no liability. Where the learner has ignored instructions and in so doing has caused an accident to occur, the learner driver will be liable for any insurance excess payable. Insurance excess for learner drivers is currently $1,000 per accident while in the vehicle with our driving instructor. The excess increases to $2000 when in the vehicle with a licence tester when using our vehicle for test packages. If another driver causes the accident, then there is no liability for the learner driver.

It is not possible to allow the learner to drive a car on public roads without a valid licence on his/her person, Therefore there will be no driving taking place during the driving lesson. The driving instructor may conduct a lesson covering theory or techniques with either a stationary or moving vehicle. This may also include commentary driving or hazard perception skills.
