About the 6-step permit
A proven track record!
To obtain your driver’s license, follow the **6-step permit** process. It all starts with first aid training, where you’ll learn the essential actions to take in the event of an emergency on the road. After completing this, you’ll need to acquire your learner’s permit before beginning driving lessons at our driving school.
Then take the theory test to assess your knowledge of road safety. Once you have passed the theory test, you can drive with a learner’s permit, accompanied by a qualified person.
To hone your skills, take part in the traffic awareness course, which prepares you for the practical test.
Finally, put what you’ve learned into practice during the practical driving test, where your skills will be assessed by professionals.
