The Course
We'll teach you three key driving skills - Searching (eye scanning), Assessing (hazard identification) and Reducing Risk (risk management) over five separate training sessions. Four of these are theory based and include the interactive practice CD-Rom. The fifth is an in-car practical driving session; if you're on a restricted licence, then this session will be like a practice full licence test and will give you a chance to ask questions about the real test. The drive must be completed within 60 days of your final in-class session.
In total, it takes just nine hours to complete the course (each session is two hours long but, as the discussions are very interesting, we allow two and a half hours for each session). However, all 4 theory sessions have to be done in order, so please make sure you check the dates and can attend all sessions. If you do happen to miss a session due to unforeseen circumstances, you can join in on the next course we run and pick up from where you left off at no extra charge. It just delays you in your quest for driving freedom!
The final hour is an incar practical assessment to see how well you can put what you've learned into practice. It is also a good guide for the full class 1 test. We have a 100% success rate from everyone who has taken our DDC and gone on to take their full Class 1 or 6 test!
Courses are held in the early evening between 6:00-8:30pm or 4:30-7:00pm, or saturday mornings from 9:00am depending on the location and date. There is a legal requirement from NZTA and the AA to have at least six people on each course, so if we don't get that number the course will be postponed and start at a later date.
See below for the next four courses and payment directions. Spaces are limited so be quick!

Recent Changes to GDLS - Last year NZTA made some changes to the GDLS which means that you may not yet be old enough to apply for your Full Licence even after doing the DDC. You may also have to apply for an exemption from NZTA. More info on their webpage here but if unsure give them a call direct on 0800 822 422
