ACT SAFER DRIVER COURSE
Please Note Before Booking:
The practical driving component of the package is conducted on public roads under the supervision of an ACT Accredited Driving Instructor in a dual control vehicle, allowing the instructor to manage the risk of the drive. There will be up to 2 learner drivers in the vehicle, taking turns to drive for a short period, then the instructor will conduct a drive for the learners to observe.
To ensure compliance with new ACT Government regulations for the Safer Drivers Course (SDC), Module 2 must now be delivered with exactly two learner drivers. If only one participant attends your session, we are unfortunately unable to proceed, and your booking will need to be rescheduled. To help us avoid any inconvenience on the day, please ensure you arrive on time and confirm your attendance so that we can meet this strict requirement together. Thank you.
Completing the ACT Safer Driver Course rewards you with 20hrs of learner logbook credit.
