The course consists of 2 modules:
​

Safer Drivers Course Module 1

Module 1: Theory

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

Learners will be influenced through meaningful peer group discussion to adopt safer driving behaviours. We'll facilitate these sessions ensuring each learner walks away with key messaging and strategies to minimise their risk behind the wheel.
Safer Drivers Course Module 2

Module 2: Practical

Course duration: 2 hours
Course participants: 2 people

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.

What will I learn by completing this course?

Learners will also receive 20 hours of log book credit upon completion of the course.
What are bonus hours?

3 for 1 bonus hours

When you have professional driving lessons with an NRMA driving instructor, you are eligible to record bonus driving time in your log book.

This Transport for NSW initiative allows learner drivers to log multiple hours when a structured professional driving lesson is completed.

  • Driving with a licensed NSW driving instructor – you can record triple the time of your lesson in your log book. For example, if you have a 1-hour lesson, you can log 3 hours of driving practice.
  • Applying bonus hours – a maximum of 10 hours with a driving instructor can be applied. This means that you can only log up to 20 bonus hours.
  • Number of lessons you can have – there is no limit to how many lessons you can have with a driving instructor. There is only a limit on the number of bonus hours you can log for those lessons.
  • Driving lessons at night – if you have a driving lesson at night, the bonus hours do not count towards your ‘night driving hours’ in your log book. They can only count as daytime driving hours.

NSW Safer Drivers Course

An additional 20 hours of log book credit can be earned when you complete the Safer Drivers Course.

The course has been designed for a learner to attend once, so the 20 hours of bonus log book credit will only be deducted once.

How do I book the course?

You can view all available locations and sessions and book online in just a few simple steps. Select your preferred location, session and complete your payment securely via our online system.

What happens if I need to reschedule or cancel my already booked course?

Rescheduling or cancelling is free of charge if done more than 5 days before the Module 1 booking. You can reschedule or cancel your course booking by signing in to your account to reschedule the session to a preferred time and date if made within the 5 day period – subject to availability. 

Cancellations within 5 days will forfeit the full course fee.

If you need to reschedule an already scheduled Module 2 session after already completing Module 1, you will be required to pay the full course fee of $140 (incl. GST).

No shows will also forfeit the full course fee.

What do I bring on the day?
Please ensure that you bring your NSW learner driver licence and log book; all other course materials will be supplied on the day. A dual-controlled vehicle is supplied for the Module 2 session.
Now for the fine print
*Learners must be under 25 years old with a valid NSW learner licence and at least 50 hours in their log book. These 50 hours cannot include any accrued through the 3 for 1 professional instruction. 20 log book hours will be credited on completion of the course.
