The Rams philosophy

The Rams experience

Barani Kumar with the Rams Driving Academy car on an Adelaide street 01 · First chat
Step one

Message on WhatsApp.

Tell us where you are at and what you need. We reply fast, and a real instructor answers, not a call centre.

Step two

First lesson, your pace.

We assess your driving and build a simple plan, no pressure. Holding an overseas licence or starting from zero, the plan is built around you.

Step three

Practice and progress.

Lessons 7 days a week in a calm automatic with dual controls, logbook hours signed off where they apply.

Step four

Test day.

Sit the test in the same car you learned in, with a warm-up beforehand. Familiar seat, familiar mirrors, steadier nerves.

Test day, handled

One car. The one you
learn in and test in.

No surprises on test day. You practise in the exact car you sit your test in, so the pedals, the mirrors and the feel are already second nature.

Automatic, dual control

A modern automatic with a second brake and full supervision, so you can push your limits with a safety net under you.

Fully insured, always

Every lesson and every test drive is covered. You focus on the road, the paperwork is our problem.

Warm up before the test

A practice run right before your test, in the exact car you will be assessed in. No surprises on the day.

“A few calm lessons and I passed first go. Could not recommend Rams more.
Priya · Licence conversion
★★★★★

Came on an Indian licence and was nervous about driving on the left. A few calm lessons and I passed first go. Could not recommend Rams more.

Patient is the word. Got my confidence back after years off the road.

Very kind teacher. Explained everything clearly and never made me feel rushed.

My daughter was a very anxious learner. He was so patient with her. Worth every dollar.

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.
