• What age do I get my learners licence in ACT?

  You can apply for your learner driver licence in the ACT from 15 years and 9 months of age.

  Before getting your learner licence, you need to complete the required ACT learner licence process, which usually includes the Road Ready course and passing the learner licence knowledge test. Once you have your learner licence, you can start supervised driving and begin recording your learner hours.

• How do I get my learner licence in the ACT?

  In the ACT, you can get a learner licence once you are over 15 years and 9 months old, have completed a Pre-learner licence course, passed the ACT Road Rules test, and then visit an Access Canberra Service Centre with the required documents.

  If you are under 18 years of age and cannot prove residency with mail in your own name, Access Canberra says a parent or legal guardian can complete a statutory declaration confirming you live with them.

  Please contact us if you are unsure of what to do and we can help guide you on each step to obtaining your ACT learners driving license.

• How many learner hours do I need?

  In the ACT, learner drivers generally need 100 supervised driving hours, of which 10 of those hours must be at night if the driver is under 25 years of age. This is the standard requirement for progressing to a provisional licence.

  If you are 25 or older and learning how to drive in the ACT, you only need 50 supervised hours and 5 night driving hours.

  Please contact us if you have any questions and we’ll be happy to help.

• What should I bring to my driving lessons?

  Please bring your current learner licence, comfortable enclosed shoes, and any glasses or contact lenses you need for driving.

  It is also helpful to bring your logbook or learner driver app if you are recording supervised driving hours, plus any notes or questions about skills you would like to practise during the lesson.

• Should my teenager get driving lessons?

  Yes, having professional driving lessons is a great way to influence safe driving practices. Professional driving lessons can help teenagers build safe habits early, learn ACT road rules correctly, and gain confidence in different driving conditions around Canberra.

  A driving instructor can teach important skills such as observation, speed control, gap selection, roundabouts, parking, lane changes, and test preparation. Lessons can also support supervised practice with parents by giving learners clear goals to work on between sessions.

• Can I be picked up for my driving lessons?

  Yes. We can pick you up for your driving lesson from an agreed location in Canberra, such as your home, school, workplace, or another convenient nearby address.

  Pick-up and drop-off options may depend on your location, lesson time, and instructor availability, so it is best to confirm these details when booking your lesson. Please contact us if you have any questions.

• What makes a good driving instructor?

  A good driving instructor is patient, calm, clear, and focused on safe driving habits — not just helping you pass the test. They should explain things in a way that suits your learning style, give useful feedback, and help you build confidence at a steady pace.

  A good instructor should also be properly accredited, familiar with ACT road rules and test expectations, and able to teach real-world skills such as observation, gap selection, lane changing, parking, roundabouts, and defensive driving.

• Do you provide manual driving lessons?

  Yes. We provide manual driving lessons in Canberra for learner drivers who want to build confidence with clutch control, gear changes, hill starts, low-speed manoeuvres, and everyday on-road driving.

  Manual lessons can be tailored to your experience level, whether you are a complete beginner, moving from automatic to manual, or preparing for your ACT driving assessment.
