Bara Barang Pre-Learners Course

If there are things preventing you from getting a licence, we can work with you to help you get everything in order and address barriers to you obtaining a learner’s permit, including helping you deal with all the different agencies (Births Deaths and Marriages, Centrelink, State Debt Recovery Legal Services and Courts).

Bara Barang Get Licensed, Get Legal, Gert Work Program

The purpose of this program is to help you with the literacy, numeracy and computer skills needed to pass the Driver Knowledge Test (the first stage in getting a driver licence to obtain a Learner Driver Licence). This program will help you understand and test your knowledge of the Road Users Handbook whilst developing your literacy skills at the same time. After you’ve completed the program, you’ll be able to sit the Driver Knowledge Test at no cost at your local Service NSW branch.

Bara Barang Learner & P Plate Driver Program

Once you’ve obtained your Learners Driver Licence (L Plate) you’re ready to get on the road to practice, mature your driving skills and road safety. We’ll provide supervised professional driving lessons in a roadworthy vehicle to help you build your confidence in becoming a solo driver once you graduate to your Provisional Licence (P Plate).

Learner & P Plate Driver Program Incentive

For every 1 hour structured driving lesson you complete with a licensed Driving Instructor, you can record 3 hours driving experience in your Log Book. A maximum of 10 hours of lessons will be accepted and recorded as 30 hours driving experience.

Sessions will take between 2-3 hours depending on the number of participants. For more info or to join our Drivers Licensing Access Program contact Bara Barang on
