Services
At Approved Driving School we understand that everyone learns to drive at different speeds. If you have experience with a supervising driver it will be a lot quicker than somebody who has no experience. Lessons are provided in a Mazda 3 with dual controls for added safety and fully air conditioned.
Our driving instructor prices are tailored to make Approved Driving School an affordable driving school for students on a budget. We don't charge extra for weekend lessons and you can save by purchasing multiple driving lesson packages. Look out for our special offers advertised on our Facebook page and you could save even more.
The VORT (Vehicle on Road Test) will test your skills and knowledge as a safe and competent driver. Your test will take approximately 45 minutes and you will be required to demonstrate 5 low speed manoeuvres: (move off up a hill, angle park, U-turn, 3-point turn and reverse parallel park) as well as general drive.

Prior to my experiences with Approved Driving School, I was a rather anxious, overcautious new driver on the roads. Even though I had (have) my lovely and effective mother as my primary mentor, I still needed that extra push to better myself a driver, and Mr. John Sweeney was the perfect choice.
When I first met him, his polite and calm disposition made me immediately believe he was the one to further consolidate skills I'd already practised and teach me new things, too. My intuition was proven correct. Throughout the lessons, I'd seen an almost astounding improvement in not only certain areas

Absolutely brilliant place to have a driving lesson preparing for final test, my instructor John was extremely thorough throughout all my lessons and was very informative and supporting throughout the time learning with him. Would highly recommend to all learner drivers!

The Approved Driving School lessons were very professional. John Sweeney is a patient and kind instructor who is very punctual and has clear communication. John elaborates on the good points of your driving whilst drawing attention to and explaining the details that need improving, in order to pass your driving test. By the end of our lessons I was fully confident with my driving and managed to pass first time, so I would definitely recommend the Approved Driving School.

John is a wonderful intructor - patient, professional, experienced. I am a late driver and had been afraid to be in control of a car. John settled my nerves and had me comfortably driving in no time. He had lots of tips and tricks that made driving and parking easy to learn. Using everything John taught me (and lots of practice) I passed my VORT on my first attempt and am now happily on the road. Could not recommend highly enough.

Very professional teacher. John gives you clear directions and feedbacks between and after the lessons. He is very calm all the time and makes you feel comfortable. I got so much confidence with his lessons. I would highly recommend him.

An absolutely outstanding instructor. John coaches and mentors you very patiently and calmly giving clear and direct instructions. I would recommend him in any situation whether you are starting off as a new driver or are already an experienced one. He is the best there is in the Adelaide market today! Without his training I would not have passed the VORT test.

I did try many instructors when I was a learner driver but John is definitely the best of the best. He is proffessional, patient and instead of wasting your time, he is always keen to teach you driving. Absolutely recommended.
