We aim to give every student the knowledge and confidence they need to pass their driving test. Our lessons are calm, supportive, and efficient, so you’ll never feel stressed or rushed while learning.
At First Gear, we provide the full RSA Essential Driver Training (EDT) program, guiding you through all 12 mandatory lessons with calm, supportive instruction. Our goal is to help you build safe driving habits, gain confidence, and be fully prepared for your driving test.
Our pre-test lessons focus on the exact skills and routes you’ll need for your driving test. We’ll refine your driving, boost your confidence, and make sure you’re test-ready.
Automatic driving lessons with First Gear make learning simpler and more relaxed. With fewer distractions, you can focus on building confidence and becoming a safe, capable driver.
Don’t worry about finding a suitable car — at First Gear, you can rent a fully insured, road-ready vehicle for your driving test. Reliable, convenient, and stress-free.
