60-minute lesson

$115One-to-one with Stacey

The standard lesson. Long enough to warm up, work on something new and go over it again before you finish.

90-minute lesson

$170One-to-one with Stacey

Better value per minute, and the better choice once you are driving further from home or building up to the test.

Lesson packages

Booking five lessons at once brings the price down. Packages can be used at whatever pace suits you.

Five 60-minute lessons

$555Saves $20

Five standard lessons paid up front. The usual choice for a learner starting from scratch.

Five 90-minute lessons

$750Saves $100

Five longer lessons, and the biggest saving on the list. Suits learners with a test date in mind.

Gift vouchers

Lessons and packages can be bought as a gift voucher, so a parent, grandparent or friend can pay for the lessons and the learner books them in when it suits.

Test day

Sitting your driving test in Stacey’s car

You can sit your Vehicle On Road Test in the car you have been learning in, which takes one unfamiliar thing out of the hardest hour of the process. The whole arrangement is $440.

Examiner’s fee

$240Part of the $440 test day package

Stacey can organise the booking for you and pay this fee directly to the examiner when the test is booked, so it is one less thing to arrange on the day.

Her car, and an hour’s warm-up

$200Part of the $440 test day package

The use of Stacey’s car for the assessment, plus an hour’s lesson immediately beforehand to settle in and warm up in the car you are about to be tested in.

The examiner’s fee is set by the examiner, not by Stacey, and it can change. She will confirm the current figure when your test is booked.

Who these lessons are for

The same rates apply whichever of these you are. Say which one when you call, because it changes what the lessons concentrate on.

Learners going from L to P

First-time drivers on a learner’s permit, working through the logbook and building up to the practical test.

Overseas and interstate licence holders

If you hold a licence from another country or another state and have to sit a practical driving assessment here, lessons focus on South Australian road rules and on what the assessor actually marks.

Drivers reassessed for a medical condition

If you have been asked to sit a practical assessment because of a medical condition, lessons are built around that assessment rather than around learning to drive from scratch.

Refreshers and returning drivers

Licensed, but off the road for a while and not comfortable getting back in? Refresher lessons rebuild confidence at whatever pace suits you, with no test at the end of it unless you want one.

What every lesson includes

The same instructor each time, a plan for the lesson, and a few minutes at the end on what to practise next.

  • Lessons planned around what you need to work on
  • Every lesson recorded in your logbook
  • Feedback for you (and your parents, if you want) after each lesson
  • Straight answers on logbook hours and the VORT

Worth asking about when you call

  • Cancellations and rescheduling
  • Payment options
  • Where lessons start from
  • Times that suit you
