Advance Driver Training has been extremely helpful in aiding me on my driving journey. I have become far more confident in my driving abilities, as a result of the lessons I’ve had with them. Would definitely recommend.

Connor

Advance Driver Training is a amazing driving school that I would highly recommend, when I started my lessons I only had 50 hours and it was 2 months until my 21st. In that little amount of time Anthony helped me not only get my ps but also feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, they truly are the best instructors in town.

★★★★★

Recommend Anthony for any parent trying to decide on driving school for their learner driver. He easily guided Alice through from lessons to driving test, with Ali achieving her P plates on her first attempt.

Lachlan

I recently passed my driving test and want to give a huge thank-you to my driving instructor, Anthony. As a Taiwanese learner, I truly appreciated how patient, supportive, and understanding he was throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly, helped me gain confidence, and guided me to improve quickly. Thanks to his excellent teaching, I was able to pass my test in a short time.

I’m very grateful for Anthony’s professionalism and kindness. Highly recommended!

Grace

I'm very grateful to Anthony for his help with my driving lessons. He's a truly excellent teacher with meticulous instruction and a warm attitude. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get a driver's license!

Zhou

Just got my full license today! Anthony is such a patient and kind instructor! He always stays calm and explains everything really clearly, which made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. As someone whose first language isn’t English, I found his way of teaching super easy to follow. He always gives positive feedback and encourages you when you get nervous. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone learning to drive in Bendigo — he’s awesome!

Leshign

Anthony’s experience and friendly, calm supportive demeanour helped our son to feel confident, learn to drive more defensively and pass his drivers test. Our son looked forward to his lessons as they were enjoyable and he learned some great techniques and tips. Always punctual and a great communicator, (Anthony’s reminder texts and eta texts were always appreciated). Highly recommend the Driver’s test support package.
Thank you, Anthony 🙂

Katrina

I highly recommend this driving school! They're so nice, and after just three lessons with Anthony, I passed my license test. He taught me everything I needed to know and made sure I was completely ready. Definitely check them out if you're looking to get your license!

Highly recommend Anthony and the team at Advance Driver Training. Incredible knowledge, kindness and calmness. They are also so easy to deal with and organise lessons through, nothing is too much trouble. We are so grateful to Anthony and team for the very big part they played in my daughter becoming a confident driver who was super excited to get her p's!

Kris

My daughter has been having driving lessons with Anthony. She has just gone on to pass her P’s. He is a fantastic driving instructor. He made her feel very comfortable, relaxed and taught her all the necessary safety tips and tricks. He made the whole process from L’s to P’s simple and smooth. Thanks again Anthony!
