Driving Lessons
Learning to drive is one of the most important skills in life and we want to make sure you have the best learning experience, responsibly.
At LTrent, we are committed to keeping our students, families and Driver Trainers safe. To ensure the safety of the community, please refer to the latest health advice and procedures mandated across our team of Driver Trainers below.
Please give us a call on 02 8748 4500 if you would like more information about our COVID-19 response.
What actions are we taking?
Prior to your lesson
Your instructor will arrive 5 minutes before your lesson to disinfect the interior and exterior of the car, including the hand controls and door handles.
When you enter the car
Face masks are no longer mandatory but highly recommended. Please wear a face mask if you have one.
After your lesson
Your instructor will sanitise their hands and wipe down the interior and exterior of your car with a disinfectant wipe, including all hand controls and door handles.
Your Driver Trainer
If driver trainers are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, they are required to get tested within 48 hours. They cannot attend lessons or driving tests until they have been cleared of COVID-19. We will contact you to let you know and reschedule your lessons to a time that suits you.
It is no longer a requirement that you have to be fully vaccinated to take driving lessons and a majority of our trainers take students regardless of their vaccination status. We do have some trainers who are immune-compromised or have immune-compromised family members and have requested fully vaccinated students – we will inform you if this is the case and reassign you with an appropriate instructor.
We are constantly monitoring the Government advice on conducting driving lessons. We are doing everything that we can to ensure that you are comfortable, confident and safe throughout your learning experience.
Thank You For Supporting Your Local Instructors
As a small family-owned business it is through your unwavering support that we can employ local instructors and their families. Your instructor has an immense positive impact on your local and the wider Australian community as they play a pivotal part in our mission to train safer drivers.
Thank you to our Trent community for your ongoing support, loyalty and patience.
