About
Licensed and on the Road is an award-winning
program dedicated to helping Aboriginal and
disadvantaged people get a driving licence.
1.L Program
The L Program is active and engaging, involving group discussion and games to assist students to develop their language, literacy and numeracy skills to successfully pass the TfNSW Learner Driver Knowledge Test.
2.Hazard Perception Test
Successfully completing the computer based TfNSW Hazard Perception Test is a must have before you can progress to the Transport for NSW Driving Test. It consists of 15 video scenarios of driving situations and requires you to demonstrate safe decision making. ACE offers 1:1 assistance to prepare for this test.
3.P Program
This program has been designed to assist learner drivers to gain access to a vehicle and qualified driving instructors to practice their driving skills and achieve some of their logbook hours. In remote communities, culturally appropriate driving schools are engaged to deliver the lessons.
4.Support to Pass Provisional Licence Test
The Practical Driving Course offers up to 10 free lessons with ACE driving instructors to gain hours towards licensing or gain their Ps. In remote communities, culturally appropriate driving schools are engaged to deliver the lessons.
The program began back in 2003 at ACE Community Colleges in Lismore as a grass roots idea and has rapidly grown with a footprint across 20 regional communities.
