Every review below is a real one, left on Google by a student. Read them all, including the ones we have not reprinted, on the Google profile.
★★★★★
Rams driving academy is the reason that I passed my VORT in the first attempt. I had to convert my Indian license to Australian and everyone told me this was not going to be that easy. My experience at Rams was awesome.
★★★★★
As a nervous driver, my wife found being behind the wheel quite intimidating at first. However, his supremely calm demeanour and infinite patience completely put her at ease.
★★★★★
Barani is hands down the best driving instructor around! Super knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and great at breaking down reverse parallel parking and tricky intersections so they actually make sense. The lessons were worth every penny.
★★★★★
Excellent Service from Rams Driving Academy, Great driving instructor! Very patient, friendly, and professional. The driving instructor Bharani helped my son to build his confidence and made learning to drive easy. Passed the vort at the first attempt.

★★★★★
Excellent guidance. Detailed drivers training and instruction materials has helped greatly.
★★★★★
Mr Bharani is an amazing driving instructor, very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. His calm demeanor eased my anxiousness. With his guidance I was able to pass the test on the first attempt.
★★★★★
Barani has been our go to driving instructor for both our children. He has given them the encouragement and confidence they need initially when they start driving and just before the VORT. He teaches and ensures all driving rules are adhered to and has been very accommodative with class timings.
★★★★★
I was in a rush to get my Overseas license converted to the full Australian license for employment purposes, and Mr. Barani helped accommodate about 6 classes in a week to help me achieve that. He provided good and test-specific tips for passing the test!
Good questions
Asked often.
Anything else on your mind? WhatsApp us. We genuinely do not mind quick questions.
How many lessons will I need?
It depends on your previous experience and the habits you have formed. For most experienced overseas drivers, a small number of tailored lessons is enough to learn South Australian road rules, adjust to driving on the left and correct habits before the practical test. Message Rams Driving Academy on WhatsApp for a personal estimate.
What is the difference between VORT and CBT and A?
VORT is a single practical driving test. CBT and A is a competency based logbook pathway with no final test. Rams Driving Academy trains and assesses for both, and will help you choose the right path.
I am a nervous driver. Is that okay?
Completely. Nervous and anxious drivers are welcome. Lessons are paced individually in a calm, judgement free car, and we go as slowly as you need.
Do you teach manual or automatic?
Automatic only. Lessons and tests are in a modern automatic dual-control car.
What languages do you speak?
English, Tamil and Hindi.
How do I pay and do I have to buy a package?
Pay by bank transfer, PayID or cash on the day. There are no lock-in packages, you book lessons as you need them.
