LTrent Driving School
Through our unique student record card and feedback from your instructor, you'll see where you're up to and what skills you need to achieve to become a safe and competent driver. Contemplating finally going back to driving lessons after 20 years was pretty daunting but what a result on test day - 109 out of 110!

I definitely couldn't have achieved this without Rob's guidance. Thanks for such a great experience and fantastic result! We are a driving school with a mission to create the best drivers in Australia. LTrent driving school was started in 1969 on the premise that quality driver training can create a driver that has the skills to survive.
Services
Too many people approach driver training with the primary aim of passing the driving test. The statistics on new drivers show that passing the test is not a measure of how safe a new driver will be on the road by themselves. There are real, measurable consequences of poor driving skills. LTrent Driving School students are taught to drive safely and correctly so they are skilled, confident and equipped to survive on the roads.
A young person wishes to drive. They expect to be able to learn to drive competently and safely. They receive some degree of basic instruction, mainly in car control. This instruction varies widely in consistency and quality. The learner who has no knowledge on the subject accepts this as the best way because it was given by someone 'who knows'.
Passing the driving test and getting your driver's licence brings an amazing sense of freedom. At Trent Driving School, we are dedicated to helping you start driving on your Ps and get your freedom. In addition to the topics covered in our Driver Training Course, we have also developed our own test and routes called the Trent On Road Test.
I have been struggling with my confidence and was quite confused with all the fundamentals behind each parking skills. My teacher Simon was very patient and explained the minor details of all the driving skills. He helped me to perform better, as I understood why I had to do certain things at particular moments.
Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions about LTrent driving lessons and services. At Ltrent we understand that everyone learns at different speeds. Regardless of your stage in the learning process, with our accelerated learning programme you will need less lessons than with any of our competitors.

The best driving instructor on the north shore!
I’ve been on my Ls for years and always lacked the confidence to get my Ps until I started lessons with Nilesh
Nilesh has a fantastic lesson structure and really makes it simple to learn with confidence
Today I got my Ps and it’s all thanks to my awesome instructor

After just one 2-hour lesson with Nilesh 3 days before my test, I was able to pass first go! Also Nilesh was so kind enough to come in to service NSW to fix an error on my logbook right before my test with so little notice, or else I would've had to rebook! I'm forever grateful for having you as my driving instructor!

My driving instructor was Nilesh, he was an excellent instructor who allowed me to become much more comfortable with my driving and improve my driving skills where they were needed before my test! I had a few lessons before my p's test which were extremely helpful and Nilesh did an excellent job in helping and I passed first go!!! I highly recommend Nilesh! :)

Hi,
If you are going to read any reviews let it be this one. I have had lessons through this company for about a year, and I have learnt so much, especially being a young driver. I’m sure that any instructor from this place will provide you the help you need but I recommend Nilesh. He provided me with many tips and help that aided me to pass on my first driving test. With Nilesh’s help I passed with 100%. I strongly recommend booking with him it is worth it, this has not only come from me but I have lots of friends who also recommend him.

Michael from L Trent was so patient and has incredible attention to detail. He always provided constant feedback and helpful tips. Michael always worked beyond his lessons answering calls and queries. He is friendly and encouraging and dedicated to his students. Because of his thorough teaching skills I was able to pass my driving test first time round with a score of 109. I would definitely recommend Michael for any learning drivers

Our daughter Abbey had a fantastic experience with George Koumanis.
Abbey spent many of her initial driving hours on her Ls with George. We knew she was in great hands learning everything the right way.
George helps his students relax with his friendly approach. George is reliable, professional and very knowledgeable.
Abbey passed her Ps first go… after some final preparation with George and we all feel safe driving with her.
We thoroughly recommend LTrent and George.
We’ll be in touch with George mid year once our son gets his Ls.
Thanks George 👍

As someone who has struggled with massive driving anxiety my whole life, I thought I'd never get my license. Robert Barilla was recommended to me by a friend and I honestly couldn't have passed my ps without him. He was always calm and understanding, his lessons were planned out and informative, and I went from being terrified to excited about driving in only a few months. Thank you again Robert and LTrent!

After 10 years of putting off learning to drive I was extremely anxious. I learnt with Robert Barilla over 5 months and then passed my P’s first go! If you’re anxious or just looking for an excellent instructor I couldn’t recommend L Trent and Robert enough!!

My instructor Robert Barilla was an excellent teacher and helped me transition from a highly anxious driver to someone who is now very confident on the roads! He is incredibly personable and made me feel safe and comfortable throughout my lessons. I also appreciated that he went through a curriculum to make sure all bases were covered in terms of safe driving. I could not recommend Rob and L Trent enough to anyone who wants to become a safe, confident driver!

I started driving with Nilesh with only about 20 hours and since then I have become a much better driver and passed the P's exam first go with his help. Nilesh is a great driving instructor, he is always very supportive, kind, and always on time with a plan for the lesson. I would definitely recommend Nilesh to other drivers starting out or wishing to learn more about how to drive safer on the roads!

I had a fantastic experience with LTrent and specifically the instructor Nilesh. He was very patient and made learning to drive stress free and simple, he was able to break down the manoeuvres so that it was easy to understand and learn. Through his help I am able to feel comfortable and confident when driving, he was able to help calm my nerves… around my test and made the process of getting my license super easy. I was also able to pass my Ps test on my first try with Nilesh’s help. I would definitely recommend LTrent and Nilesh to other friends learning to drive.

My instructor Gerard B. helped me pass my driving test on the first attempt! He was very patient even though I started with him as a new driver and by the time I went for my test, he had made me a knowledgeable and safe driver. The skills Gerard have taught me will stay with me as a I continue to drive on the road by myself! I cannot recommend Gerard enough !
