About this course
Instructors on LicenceLane begin by assessing your current driving experience and design a lesson plan around your skill level. For steady progress most recommend two lessons a week.
Most learners want to know two things: how many lessons they will need, and what the first one is like. The guides below answer both, and each instructor's profile shows the vehicle they teach in before you book.

Training & testing
- 1
Learner licence and logbook
Pass your state or territory's road rules test, then build any supervised hours your logbook requires, including night hours where they apply, with lessons that count.
- 2
Structured lessons
Your instructor tracks your progress against the assessment criteria your state or territory publishes, so nothing on the assessment comes as a surprise.
- 3
Practical assessment
Sit your assessment as your state or territory runs it. Instructors who offer a test-day service supply a warm-up lesson and their dual-control vehicle for the day; the assessment itself is booked with, and paid to, the licensing authority.
Converting an overseas licence
New to Australia? How long you can drive on an overseas licence, and when you must convert it, is set by the state or territory you live in, your visa or residency status and your arrival date. Check the official rule for your location before you rely on it.
Instructors on the platform regularly prepare overseas licence holders for the local assessment: local road rules and the published assessment standard for your area.
What to bring on test day
- Your valid learner or driver licence
- Closed-in shoes (most instructors require them as a safety rule)
- Any identification your state or territory's licensing authority requires
Common questions
Can I learn in both automatic and manual?
Car lessons can be listed in automatic or manual. Each instructor's listing shows the vehicle and transmission they teach in, so you can choose the licence type that suits your goals. Which is available depends on who covers your suburb.
Are there male and female instructors?
Yes. The platform includes independent male and female instructors. Which ones you can book depends on who covers your suburb; each profile shows who they are before you book.
What should I bring on test day?
Your valid learner licence, closed-in shoes, and any identification your state or territory's licensing authority asks for. If you booked a test-day service, your instructor brings the car.
