How many lessons do I need if I am over 25?
There is no log book requirement, so it depends on your current skills and confidence. A lesson with an instructor is a practical way to find out what you still need to work on.
NSW LEARNER GUIDE
How many driving lessons
do I need in NSW?
There is no fixed number of driving lessons that suits everyone. The right amount depends on your experience, how much supervised practice you do between lessons and how ready you are for the test. What NSW does set is the log book: if you are under 25, you need at least 120 hours of supervised driving, including 20 hours at night, before the driving test.

WHAT NSW REQUIRES
The rules that
shape your plan.
Learners under 25
- At least 120 hours of supervised driving in your log book, including at least 20 hours at night.
- Each hour with a licensed driving instructor can be logged as three hours, for up to 10 hours of lessons. That is up to 20 bonus hours.
- The NSW Safer Drivers Course adds another 20 hours of log book credit.
- You can take the Hazard Perception Test once you have held your learner licence for at least 10 months, and you must pass it before the driving test.
Sources: log book, learner licence and Hazard Perception Test (NSW Government). Check them for any changes.
Learners 25 and over
You do not have to log hours, but you still need to pass the Hazard Perception Test and the driving test. The number of lessons depends entirely on your skills, so honest feedback from an instructor matters more.
HOW TO JUDGE IT
Planning lessons
around you.
Lessons and practice work together
Professional lessons teach and correct. Supervised practice with family or friends builds hours and habits. A learner who drives regularly between lessons usually reaches the same point in fewer lessons than one who only drives with an instructor.
Nervous or returning drivers
If you feel nervous, or you are returning after a long break, you may want more time on the basics before moving to busier roads. That is normal, and it is part of Mojgan’s everyday work.
How Mojgan helps you plan
After seeing you drive, Mojgan can suggest a useful next step. She does not promise a fixed number of lessons or a pass, because neither is honest before she has seen your driving.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Clear answers
before you book.
Do lessons with an instructor count towards the 120 hours?
Yes. Each hour with a licensed driving instructor counts as three log book hours, for up to 10 hours of lessons.
Do I have to take professional lessons in NSW?
No. Lessons are not compulsory, but they help you learn correct technique and understand what the driving test assesses.
