Instructor bio
My passion for Driving began in 1995 as a Professional Driver and in 2008 I progressed to a Accredited RMS Driving Instructor/Assessor. I really enjoy working with people and the process of teaching has always come naturally to me.
I strive to go above and beyond the expected safety minimum and ensure all my students are fully equipped with the knowledge to drive safely and responsibly. I don't believe in 'simply passing,' and wish to offer driving lessons for all situations that happen on our busy roads. My lessons include defensive driving in real world scenarios, where they are more likely to be remembered and utilised. It's one thing to be taught how to be safe on the roads yourself, but it's a completely different matter to learn how to drive with other unsafe drivers.
I provide innovative training to make the student feel at ease, while driving to get the full benefit of the driving programme.
My qualifications
Certificate IV Transport and Logistics (Road Transport-car driving instruction)
Certificate IV Transport and Logistics (Road Transport-heavy vehicle instruction)
Accredited RMS HV Assessor

I was really happy with the professional service that Jim provided. My son had a busy schedule but Jim was always happy to work around my sons hours. The feedback I received from my son was that he was very comfortable with Jim as he was very patient and always explained everything to him. My son was very confident by the end of the training period and he got his P's first go. Thanks Jim...

Jim was patient and very knowledgeable. After 10 lessons my son was more confident on the road and it really helped him with his hours he had to do. He now has his P's! I highly recommend Jimmy for his expertise!

Learn in your car
Learning in your own car can be a good idea if:
- You are a confident learner driver about to take a driving test
- You are on a provisional or unrestricted licence
- You have a new car to familiarise yourself with
Learning in your own car is not suitable for inexperienced or new learner drivers.
Our instructors are happy to offer lessons in your car if it is registered, roadworthy, comprehensively insured & clean. Our instructors reserve the right to refuse instruction in your car if they believe your driving skills or vehicle condition are a safety risk. The instructor may wish to conduct one or more lessons in their own vehicle prior.
To learn in your own car, simply add a lesson note upon booking.

Logbook 1 hr = 3 hrs
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.
Driving lessons at night (between sunset and sunrise) count for only 1 hour of night driving. The other 2 hours are added to your day driving hours.
