1. How do I get my learner licence in the ACT?

To obtain your learner licence, you must be at least 15 years and 9 months old. You need to complete the mandatory ACT Pre-Learner Licence Course and pass the ACT Driver Knowledge Test (DKT). Once completed, you take your certificates to an Access Canberra Service Centre to be issued your “L” plates.

2. What is the difference between the Logbook (CBT&A) and the One-off Government Test?

The Logbook (CBT&A) path allows you to be assessed by your driving instructor over several lessons as you master 23 specific competencies. The One-off Government Test is a single 45-minute practical assessment conducted by a government examiner at an Access Canberra testing centre.

3. How many professional driving lessons will I need?

The number of lessons varies per person. However, to complete the Logbook (CBT&A) path, you must complete a minimum of 7 assessment lessons (though most students require more to reach the required standard). If you are preparing for the one-off test, 10 lessons is a common average.

4. Can my professional lessons count for extra hours in my logbook?

Yes! In the ACT, your first 10 hours of driving lessons with a certified instructor count as 30 hours toward your required supervised driving time (a 3-for-1 bonus).

5. Do I have to use the driving school’s car, or can I use my own?

Most Canberra driving schools, including Revolution Driver Training, prefer using their own dual-control vehicles for safety & insurance purposes.

6. Do you offer both Automatic and Manual driving lessons?

Yes. Revolution Driver Training provides lessons in both automatic and manual vehicles. If you pass your assessment in an automatic car, your provisional licence will be restricted to automatic vehicles only.

7. Where do the driving lessons start and finish?

Instructors typically offer door-to-door service, picking you up and dropping you off at your home, school, or workplace within the Canberra region. It is best to select your Canberra region (north, centre or south) when booking.

8. What is your cancellation policy?

Most Canberra driving schools require at least 24 to 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson. Cancellations made with less notice usually forfeit the full lesson fee to compensate the instructor for the lost time.

9. Can I change my driving instructor if I don’t feel comfortable?

Absolutely. It is important that you feel safe and supported while learning. You can request a different instructor at any time to find a teaching style that better suits your needs.

10. What happens if I fail my driving assessment?

If you fail the one-off government test, you must wait at least 48 hours before re-booking. If you are doing the Logbook (CBT&A) method, you simply continue practicing the specific competencies you haven’t mastered yet with your instructor until they are satisfied you have met the required standard.
