ACT competency-based training

How the ACT logbook pathway works

You build and show driving competencies step by step with an ACT accredited instructor.

Step by step

The logbook pathway

1

Hold a valid ACT learner licence

Complete the learner process and keep your licence current before driving.

2

Learn each driving skill

Lessons cover vehicle control, observation, road positioning, intersections, traffic management and the other required competencies.

3

Practise between lessons

Supervised private practice turns a new technique into a consistent habit.

4

Demonstrate competency

Your instructor signs off a skill once you perform it safely and consistently, not after a set number of lessons.

5

Complete the licence requirements

You still need the learner period, supervised hours and the Hazard Perception Test.

Common questions

How many lessons will I need?

There’s no single number. Prior practice, confidence, how often you drive and consistency all affect progress. After an initial lesson, your instructor can give you a much better idea.

Logbook or the one-off test?

The logbook route assesses competencies progressively with an accredited instructor. The one-off practical driving assessment is a separate government test. Check the official requirements before you choose.

Progress one skill at a time.
