Information For Learner Drivers
* Before you commence driving lessons, whether with parents, friends or a qualified instructor, you must obtain an ACT Learner Licence.
* Your Learner Licence will be valid for a period of 2 years.
* Details on how to obtain a learner Licence can be found here Road Ready (Government)
* Minimum age to hold learner licence in the ACT is 15 years and 9 months.
* You must hold a learner licence for a minimum of 6 months before you can be tested for your Provisional Licence.
* You must always carry your Learner Licence with you when taking a lesson with either an qualified instructor, parent or friend. You must carry your Log Book with you if being assessed by an Accredited Instructor.
* You can practice your driving with anyone you choose, provided they hold a full licence.
* Once you have satisfied the above requirements, you can choose to either attempt the Government Driving Test or go through the Log Book System with an Accredited Driving Instructor.
* If you choose the Log Book System, please check that your Instructor holds an Accreditation at the time of the lesson. A valid certificate should be on display in the vehicle. Also, if you live outside the ACT e.g.. Yass or Queanbeyan, please make sure your instructor has a valid certificate. Instructors who are not accredited are not by law allowed to assess students on the Log Book System.
