Learner Driver Training

Making our young people safer drivers starts with sound groundwork when they first get their "L" plates.

Driver Training Academy takes 3 learner drivers for an intensive week (Monday to Friday, 8-5) of training to teach them the correct driving skills for life.


DTA is an awesome program and I would recommend it to anyone on their L's. It was a great experience and I've learnt heaps. I don't know where I'd be without this program. I think Trev is a great instructor and a funny guy (even though his jokes are a bit stale). He makes the program fun for all.     ~ David

The program was fun and interesting. I have enjoyed the whole lot and learnt a lot about driving and myself. Would recommend it to everyone because you learn about different situations and how to react and one day it will most likely save my life. Thanks again.    ~ Will

DTA has helped me to be more confident in traffic and it's good to get feedback from more than one person on your progress, and it's good to learn with other people of the same skill.    ~ Guy
