Moving from the country to the city and need to change instructors, is that ok?

Yes you can change instructors! Take your copy of “The Driving Companion” to the new instructor and let them know you have already had some lessons. The new instructor will take you on a review of everything you have been taught so far. If you can demonstrate that you do all tasks already completed to standard then the new instructor will continue on.

How do I get a truck or bus licence?

Please go to the Choosing Your Driving Instructor link and do an extended search under Commercial Instructors.  You will be looking for instructors who are MR (medium rigid) or HR (heavy rigid) qualified.

Why should I choose an DTASA Inc instructor?
