Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can ACT learners drive at the speed limit when in NSW?

Yes, ACT learner drivers can travel at the posted speed limit when driving in NSW—unlike NSW learners, who are restricted to 90 km/h. For more information, visit the Service NSW website. Do not trust any other source.

Can you sign off my ACT logbook competencies to help me get my P plates?

Yes, we can. Our accredited instructors are qualified to assess and sign off your competencies for the ACT logbook system.

How do I book a package deal?

You can book all your lessons online individually through our website. The same time each week may not be available. We can help you book but we need your availability details.

Then, simply pay by EFTPOS or bank transfer at your first lesson. Book now.

How many lessons will I need to get my P plates using the ACT logbook system?

The ACT logbook system requires a minimum of around 7 professional lessons, but the number of lessons you’ll need depends on your experience:

  • 8–12 lessons is typical for most learners with some supervised driving experience.
  • Up to 30 lessons may be required for learners with minimal driving experience or limited support from friends or family.
  • Bonus: You can gain 35 bonus logbook hours by completing eligible training courses.

See optional courses.

How and when do I pay for my lessons?

You can pay at each lesson or pay for a package at your first lesson using EFTPOS or bank transfer.

How does C23 compare with NRMA driving lesson options in Canberra?

We’re an independent local provider, so our focus is on the individual. That means personalised instruction, easy online bookings and lesson packages built around the learner’s experience, confidence, location and ACT or NSW licensing pathway, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Is C23 connected with Road Ready Canberra programs?

No. We operate independently and aren’t managed by any government training program. What we do is provide practical, hands-on instruction that helps eligible learners develop the skills and competencies their chosen ACT licensing pathway requires.

How does C23 differ from other driving schools in Canberra?

 We bring together experienced instructors, dual-control training vehicles, flexible pickup arrangements and a straightforward online booking system. Our personalised support extends across Canberra and Queanbeyan, and we can also conduct eligible ACT and NSW logbook assessments.

Is C23 the same business as Road Ready Driving School Canberra?

 No, we’re a separate local business with our own instructors, pricing, packages and service areas. You can browse our services, check what’s available and book a lesson directly through the website without going through anyone else.

How can Queanbeyan learners choose a driving instructor they can trust?

Look for someone who’s accredited, knows the NSW learner requirements inside out and can explain things clearly. At C23 Driving School, we use dual-control vehicles and adjust every session to suit the learner’s confidence and current ability.
