Course details

The safer drivers course is designed to work in conjunction with the current NSW learner log book system. It consists of two modules:

Module 1: Theory

Learners will be influenced through meaningful peer group discussion to adopt safer driving behaviours. Our trainers facilitate these sessions ensuring each learner walks away with key messaging and strategies to minimise their risk behind the wheel.

Learnings from these sessions are often those not learnt whilst being supervised in a controlled environment.

Course duration: 3 hours Course participants: 6 to 12 people

Module 2: Practical

Learner drivers will put their learnings from Module 1 into practice, in a car with a trainer. The trainer will coach both learners into using their risk management strategies and assisting them to adopt low risk driving behaviours.

Module 2 must be taken within one month of completion of module 1.

Course duration: 2 hours Course participants: 2 people

Learner drivers who have completed at least 50 log book hours of driving^ will receive 20 hours of log book credit when they complete a safer drivers course. Take 10 hours of professional driving lessons to gain another 20 hours of credit (on top of those 10 hours spent), and you’ll effectively reduce your required hours from 120 down to just 80!

Reducing roads risks and log book hours for learner drivers

This course is designed to establish safer driving practices for learner drivers under the age of 25, who are statistically most at risk of a fatal accident once they get their provisional licence. Research has shown that the more supervised practice a learner driver undertakes, the lower their chances of an incident*.

In July 2013, the NSW Government introduced the Safer Drivers Course. We provided industry advice to the NSW Government Advisory Panel that helped to develop it, to ensure the safety and affordability for all learner drivers.

Our driver training schools are approved by the RMS to conduct the course in NSW for learner drivers.

The course is educational, enjoyable and will help you drive more safely!
