Frequently Asked Questions

How much does each driving lesson cost?

Information about our prices and courses is availble on our Courses page.

How many lessons will I need to pass the driving examination?

It really depends on your individual circumstances. Our students typically require about 10 - 12 lessons.

How many lessons should I have per week?

Can I get picked up at one place, and dropped off at another place?

Yes, as long as the two places are within reason. You will need to speak to your instructor to make an arrangement.

Who books the driving examination test?

Perth Defensive Driving Academy advises all its students to book their own driving test as this enables them to do the test in a centre of their own choice, and at a time that fits in with their days schedule.

Whilst I had a little driving experience beforehand, I was terrified of driving, so learning with the Perth Defensive Driving Academy instructor gave me the confidence to drive come rain or shine. I\'m sure there is no way I would have managed to gain my P\'s without the professional assistance I received.

At the age of 34 I decided to finally get my act together and learn to drive. I had always for some unknown reason been afraid of driving. By chance, I came across Perth Defensive Driving Academy and I have to say that my experience with them was 100% superb.
