The lesson plan

How the six hours are spent

Three sessions of two hours, each building on the last. Your instructor adapts the pace to you, this is the shape, not a script.

1–2Session one

Controls, quiet streets and confidence

Starting with the car stationary: seat, mirrors, pedals and what every control does. Then residential streets at low speed, steering, smooth braking, stopping at junctions, and getting used to the size of the car around you.

3–4Session two

Traffic, junctions and manoeuvres

Busier roads, multi-lane traffic, four-way stops and right-of-way decisions made at real speed. Parking in all its forms, parallel, bay and hill, plus three-point turns and reversing with proper observation.

5–6Session three

Highway driving and independence

Merging, lane changes, maintaining speed and safe following distance on the interstate. The session finishes with a drive where you make the decisions and your instructor simply observes, the closest thing to driving alone.

Service area

Where we pick you up

In-car lessons are taught in person, so they are limited to the towns our instructors travel to. The online course and test prep have no such limit.

How it works

From booking to your last lesson

Four steps. The only thing we need from you is three times that suit your week.

01

Choose your city

Select where you are. You will be told immediately whether we teach in-car there, before you pay anything.

02

Pick three times

Give us your three preferred slots for the three sessions. Evenings and weekends are fine.

03

We assign your instructor

The office matches you to a DPS-certified instructor covering your area and confirms the times with you.

04

They come to you

Your instructor collects you from home for each session and drops you back afterwards. Nothing to arrange.

Why it matters

The part no course can teach you

You can learn every rule in the manual and still not know what a wet road feels like under braking. That gap closes in the car.

The first year is the dangerous one

New drivers crash most in their first twelve months on the road. Supervised hours with someone who can take the brake are the single most effective thing you can do about that.

Nerves are normal and expected

Most students are tense for the first twenty minutes. Our instructors have taught hundreds of people through exactly that, and nobody will make you feel foolish for it.

Better than practising with family

Parents teach what they do, habits included. An instructor teaches what the test and the law expect, and does it without the arguments.

It is usually required

Most states ask for a set number of supervised in-car hours before a licence. Six hours with a certified instructor is the common requirement.

Student reviews

What students say about their lessons

★★★★★

"I was terrified of the interstate. By the third session I merged onto it without my instructor saying a word, which is exactly how I knew I could do it."

"Dad tried teaching me and we just argued. One hour with a proper instructor and parallel parking finally made sense. Worth every dollar."

★★★★★

"Being picked up from the house made it possible at all, I had no way of getting to a lesson otherwise. They were on time every single session."

"Three sessions and my daughter went from refusing to leave the driveway to driving us home from her grandmother’s. Patient does not begin to cover it."

Questions

Before you book

Where will my instructor pick me up?
At your home, unless you arrange something else with the office. Collection and return are included in the price, there is no travel charge inside our service area.
Do you provide the car?
Yes, a dual-brake training vehicle, which means your instructor has a brake pedal on their side. You are welcome to use your own car instead if you would rather learn in the vehicle you will actually be driving.
What if my city is not on your list?
You can still take the online course and test prep, those are open everywhere. For your in-car hours, complete them with any DPS-certified instructor and upload the certificate to your dashboard. The booking form tells you which applies to you before you pay.
How are the six hours split up?
Normally three sessions of two hours. Spreading them out works better than one long day, skills settle between lessons, and concentration fades after about two hours at the wheel.
Do I need a learner's permit first?
Yes. You must hold a valid learner's permit before you can drive with an instructor. If you have not got one yet, our knowledge test prep is designed for exactly that step.
Can I choose my instructor?
The office assigns an instructor who covers your area and is free at your chosen times. If you would prefer a particular instructor, or a male or female instructor, tell us when you book and we will do our best.
What happens if I need to reschedule?
Call the office as early as you can and we will move the session. Things come up, we would much rather reschedule than have you drive while unwell or distracted.
