PARENT & SUPERVISING DRIVER TRAINING SESSION (1.5 HOURS – MELBOURNE)

Professional Guidance for Supervising a Learner Driver

Are you supervising a learner driver at home but unsure if you’re teaching them correctly?

Many parents and supervising drivers unintentionally pass on outdated habits, incorrect techniques, or inconsistent advice. This specialised 90-minute training session is designed to professionally guide supervising drivers on how to coach a learner properly — aligned with current VicRoads Drive Test standards in Victoria.

This session is conducted without the learner present and focuses entirely on equipping the supervising driver with the right techniques, strategy, and structure.

WHAT THIS SESSION COVERS

Correct Driving Technique Alignment

• Proper steering techniques (push-pull vs outdated habits)
• Progressive pedal control and smooth braking methods
• Correct mirror setup and mirror scanning routines
• Blind spot checks and observation standards
• Test-level expectations under VicRoads criteria

You will clearly understand what “correct” looks like — and what common habits need to be avoided.

How to Coach a Learner Properly

• How to give clear, calm instructions
• When to intervene — and when not to
• Avoiding over-correction and panic responses
• Reducing tension and arguments during practice
• Using consistent terminology aligned with driving schools

This section helps create a calmer, more productive learning environment at home.

Structuring the 120-Hour Game Plan

• How to structure the 120 required supervised hours in Victoria
• When it is appropriate for parents to take over practice
• When to return to professional driving lessons
• When to refine skills before the VicRoads Drive Test
• Progressive exposure strategy (quiet roads → traffic → freeway → complex areas)

You’ll leave with a clear roadmap instead of guessing your way through the learning journey.

Rule Updates & Clarifications

• Current VicRoads Drive Test expectations
• Common myths supervising drivers believe
• Updated road rule reminders
