Metec Driver Training

Negative experience: I took my son, a pre-learner, to a driving lesson with Lawrence the instructor, and the experience did not meet our expectations. Lawrence introduced himself in a way that seemed unconventional, describing himself as “a little bit crazy” while making a circular gesture around his ear without providing any context or indication that it was meant to be a joke. This created a sense of tension for my son from the outset. During the lesson, when my son made common beginner mistakes, Lawrence reacted with awkward sniggering but did not provide any constructive feedback. Offering some guidance would have been more beneficial. By the end of the hour, my son felt deflated, as there was a complete lack of encouragement or advice. Would not recommend. PS: He's a smoker as well, so I feel like potential clients should be warned beforehand as some, like my son, are sensitive to certain smells.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn how to drive manual and automatic, many different driving scenarios and gets you ready.

Fantastic experience: Went here today (8th May 2024) for a school excursion. Upon arrival, staff were very friendly and direct, making the sessions flow very well. We had two sessions: theory and practical sessions. The theory sessions give students all the information they need to know, such as how the car works, certain types of road laws and about the driver. For the practical session, I personally got to drive the manual car and whilst it was relatively complicated to understand, the instructor was very calm and patient, taking note of every action I took and making necessary adjustments if needed. Overall, LOTS of fun (every student I talked to described the experience as something along the lines of "so so fun"). Highly recommend checking this place out.

Fantastic experience: Excellent training….did 4WD training with Tony on the Saturday and gained some great skills and knowledge to start me on my “journey” as it were Booked into the Sunday too for Towing Course…Instructor Dennis guided myself and my wife in the basics of towing…and more importantly had us reversing like pros by the end of the day Busy days but enjoyed it very much and would recommend to anyone new to towing and 4WD…or anyone who has not done a course in that area Both instructors also went over vehicles with advice for set up and legal responsibilities

Fantastic experience: I am new to caravanning, so I decided to book in a towing course at METEC. All the pre-course information was emailed and sent out to me. Leanne was fantastic to deal with. I arrived on the Saturday morning and started with theory in the classroom. Axel delivered the theory in a funny and informative fashion. Learnt so much and he was easy to listen to. We went around to all the caravans and the instructors pointed out any safety issues with our vans. It was time to hit the road and Dennis was our instructor. You wouldn’t want anyone else to instruct you on every aspect of towing a caravan. * Hitching and un-hitching * Reversing in a straight line * 360 degree turn forward and backwards (Clockwise and Anti-clockwise) * Reverse Parking from left and right * Taken for a ride around the course including downhill in 1st gear, in and out of witches hats and other handy tips. METEC thank you, I feel more comfortable towing my caravan. Big thanks to Axel and Dennis.
