"Nervous pupils are our specialty."

Lessons are one hour long, include free pickup and drop off, and there is no price difference for weekend lessons. It is recommended that you aim for two or more lessons per week. The closer you keep your lessons the quicker your confidence builds, which means fewer lessons are required. Lessons cost $65 per hour (this can be reduced to $60 per hour if you prepay for five lessons or more). All Saturday lessons need to be paid in advance.

Each lesson covers new topics in different locations so you are exposed to as many experiences and varied conditions as possible. The lessons are structured in a logical progression, so that each lesson builds on the skills taught and learned in the previous lessons. Triple "A" specialises in perceptive skills and eye training techniques, which will prepare you for a lifetime of safe driving. Our unique booklet "Safe Driving Habits" will be issued on the first lesson. There is an additional cost of $10.00 for this booklet. This is a teaching aid used between lessons, where the instructor will set reading segments. This eliminates unnecessary time spent sitting on the side of the road talking, allowing more efficient use of teaching time. Lesson notes and handouts that support the topics covered in each lesson are included. NZQA driving unit standards are available on request these can be used to credit towards NCEA elective credits.

Topics that will be covered include

• basic cockpit drills
• stopping
• starting and gear changing
• dealing and coping with intersections
• hill starts
• parallel parking
• 3 point turns
• lane driving with traffic
• on and off ramps with higher speeds and motorway driving
• emergency braking
• preparation for the driving test.

The goal of Triple "A" is to teach you to be a safe and confident driver - not merely a licensed driver.

Triple "A" will cater for your needs whatever stage you're at.

  The Street Talk course caters for all drivers - from restricted licenses to police recruits - and can help those on a restricted license obtain a full licence 6 months sooner, provided you've held your restricted for 6 months prior to commencing this course.

  The course runs for 4 sessions, 2 hours each session, usually twice a week for two weeks during the evenings, followed by a one hour practical session arranged at the conclusion of the course.

  These courses are held in Wellington Central, Johnsonville, Porirua, Lower and Upper Hutt. Please contact us to find out course commencement dates. The cost of the course is $185.

The Full Licence Test

Triple "A" offer a practical session where the instructor will show you through what is to be expected for the Full Licence Test. We find that a one-hour training session is usually sufficient.

The instructor will coach you through commentary driving to a proficient standard, and if required tidy up your driving and advise you of any poor habits you may have developed.

There are three parts to the full licence test. All three areas of the test will be covered and the instructor will discuss the sorts of questions the testing officer may ask. There is no set route for this test. The cost is $60 per hour long session.

Our goal is to ensure that you become a safe driver, not just a licensed driver.

Please have a look at the LTNZ factsheet on the full licence test. This will give you in-depth information on the full licence test.
