Ballina Driving School
Before I choose the best 'driving school Lismore', what should I have already done before I get behind the wheel? A. You'll have needed, at your local Services NSW contact centre, to have passed the NSW Roads and Maritime Services' (RMS) computer-based Driver Knowledge Test (DKT). You'll also then have needed to submit an RMS Licence Application form.

And pay for a NSW Learners Licence (which you must have with you any time you're driving). I've (finally!) got my Learners Licence. Who am I best off starting my learning to drive with - parents, relatives, friends or a driving school? A. A professional (as compared with a commercial) driving school.

Being of mature age (62) and having never held a driver's licence I was at the beginning a very nervous student who also lacked some self confidence. Charles was so patient, understanding and professional in his approach that it was only after a few lessons I was driving with confidence and much more relaxed. Because of circumstances due to covid I ended up doing my test in Ballina which was unfamiliar territory and amazingly passed the test with no errors. Thanks Charles forever grateful.

Charles is a great instructor, makes you feel comfortable and builds up your confidence. Great to chat to about driving and everything else. Passed my test first go with full marks!! He worked around my schedule for lessons and was always on time. You'll see plenty of scenic Lismore and surrounding suburbs as well. Highly recommend Charles as your driving instructor!!

Highly recommended as Charles is very professional and intellectual. He made learning fun for me and he was keen to create another good and safe driver in our society. His rate is very reasonable and you know you are in safe hands. Charles is a great instructor that I passed my license test first time.

I approached Charles as i needed to convert my overseas licence to an unrestricted Australian one, and ended up taking one thorough 2.5 hours driving lesson right before my scheduled driving test. Charles took me all around Lismore and potential testing routes, while stopping me at strategic points to sketch and emphasise essential driving theories. As English is my second language, Charles took the time to explain in detail, made sure of my understanding, and was kind and patient to my needs.
I passed the test on that day! Testing route was almost identical to what Charles had practiced me with

Learning how to drive with Charles as my professional driving consultant has been a great experience. He helped me overcome some of my fears and anxieties about driving and approach obtaining my license with goals and a steady progression of skill learning and polishing which really helped me feel more comfortable on the road. This program enabled me to feel relaxed and confident, and pass my driving test first try with 0 mistakes. Thank you!

I passed my test only after a handful of lessons from Charles and with flying colours (got 1 point away from full marks)! He is such an amazing teacher, knows how to make me feel more calm while driving. I even actually find that he makes driving fun! Am really glad to know that I have much more confidence while driving now. It has been such a pleasure to learn driving from Charles. I definitely received much more value than I paid for and was promised. Highly recommended!

Charles is an excellent driving instructor and teacher! I completed five 2 hour driving lessons with him and not only did he teach me how to drive, he goes the extra mile and teaches why we drive and also explains how the gears in the car function. I found it easy to talk to Charles and understand his teaching methods through his wonderful teaching structure which has improved my driving skills more in 5 weeks then I have in a year. I would definitely recommend Professional Driving Consultancy for learning and improving your driving skills.

With the help of Charles I managed to get my license first go. He is a calm, friendly instructor who has helped improve my driving skills greatly. With his clever tips and tricks, he helps hone all the skills required to be a safe driver, including three-point turns and reverse parallel parks. On top of this, his rates are extremely competitive. Highly recommended- 5 stars.
