Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about driving lessons, bookings and test preparation in Melbourne.

What do your international driving lessons cover?

Our lessons focus on what’s genuinely different for you: Victorian road rules, local signage, roundabouts, hook turns and driving conditions rather than repeating skills you already have.

Can I take lessons on my overseas licence?

In most cases, yes, though you may need a valid Victorian learner or provisional permit (or equivalent) to take professional driving lessons, depending on your circumstances. Check your current status on the VicRoads website, or ask us when you book and we can point you in the right direction.

Do I need lessons if I already have a full overseas licence?

Many international licence holders choose a few lessons to get familiar with Victorian road rules, local conditions and driving culture, even if they don’t need to resit their test. It’s optional, but it can make the transition much smoother.
