Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. We regularly work with complete beginners and will guide you through every step, starting with the basics. Our one-on-one training is designed to build your confidence from the ground up at your own pace.

Yes, you can reschedule or cancel your booking, but please give us as much notice as possible. We require payment at least one week in advance, so early communication helps us accommodate changes and manage bookings fairly.

CBTA (Competency-Based Training and Assessment) is an alternative to the standard restricted and full licence tests. It allows you to progress through the licence stages without doing the traditional tests at a licensing agent, and it often results in better preparation and shorter wait times between stages.
