How it works
What happens on the Safer Drivers Course in Castle Hill?
The course has two modules. You can do them on the same day where sessions allow, or on different days, as long as you complete Module 2 within 30 days of Module 1.
Module 1: Facilitated group discussion (3 hours)
A three-hour session for 6 to 12 learner drivers, led by a trained facilitator. You'll talk through the risks new drivers face, how to make safe decisions on the road and practical ways to reduce risk before you drive on your own.
Module 2: In-vehicle coaching (2 hours)
Two hours on public roads in a dual-control car, with a qualified coach and one other learner driver. You'll put low-risk driving strategies into practice, building on what you discussed in Module 1.
Bring to both modules: your learner licence and your log book (or log book app).

FAQs
