About us
Learning to drive in Perth can feel like a lot, especially for a first-time learner or someone converting an overseas licence. We keep it simple. We assess where you are on your first lesson, build a plan around your level, and teach the exact things the Practical Driving Assessment looks for.
Lessons run from 45 minutes to three hours. We pick you up and drop you off where it suits you, your home, work or school, anywhere within a sensible distance. And because we have been doing this since 2001, we know the routes and the tricky spots around every metro licensing centre.
What we do
Fewer pedals, fewer things to think about, and on average fewer lessons before your test. A good place to start if you want your licence sooner.
Automatic lessonsMost of our manual learners pass on their first attempt. We have a step-by-step way of teaching clutch control and the test routine until it feels natural.
Manual lessonsDaily or weekly blocks of lessons built around your level. The fast track when you have a test date coming up.
Intensive coursesNo car for your assessment? We lease dual-control automatic and manual cars for the PDA, with a 45-minute warm-up lesson first. Three days notice, please.
Test car hireNew to WA on an overseas licence? We prepare international licence holders for the WA assessment and explain exactly what changes.
Overseas licenceAlready drive auto and need a manual C-class for work? We get you ready and book the upgrade test at your local centre.
Manual upgradeThe edge
01
We have been teaching Perth to drive for over two decades. That is thousands of lessons and a teaching method we have refined the whole time.
02
We know the streets around all 9 metro licensing centres and the parts that catch learners out. You walk into your assessment familiar with the area.
03
We only recommend the lessons you actually need. If you are ready, we say so. We would rather you passed and told a friend.
04
Start at home, finish at work, we are flexible with pick-up and drop-off. Just tell us in advance so we can plan it.

Results
First-time pass. Could not be happier. It only took 15 lessons from scratch. I learnt a lot and definitely recommend Driving School WA.
Passed the first time. I was nervous on the day but Steve taught me how to handle the pressure and to believe in my ability to pass my driving test.
Steve made it so easy, he booked driving test for me. I only had 3 driving lessons and passed. I finally got my overseas license converted.
