Fantastic experience: Steve is a great driving instructor, not just giving me the ability to pass my test but also feel confident that I can drive by myself and in unknown areas. The instructor's car is great for taking the test in and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructor! Steve is very patient and highly knowledgeable of the area and the test tracks. I also appreciated the safety features in his car, including a reverse camera and sensors. These features are very useful and made it a great car to learn in. Thank you for helping me get my license!

Negative experience: I wouldn't take my kid here, whoever is driving the car in Edgeworth today does not understand the laws regarding zipper merging when there are no longer markings. Couldn't believe a driver training car would not understand the basics.

Benjamin James 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would absolutely recommend Novocastrian Driver Training to anyone looking to get their licence. I have always been nervous and anxious about driving, which is why I put it of for so long. Steve (my driving instructor) was fantastic and the best driving instructor I could have hoped for.

Samara O'Keeffe 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend NDT to anyone looking for driving lessons, before starting lessons last year I was an extremely anxious learner who hadn't driven for a whole year. Steve from NDT helped me to get over my anxieties and become more confident on the road, his professionalism and calm nature while teaching lessons was a great reassurance. Thanks to Steve and NDT I was able to pass the driving test on my first attempt.

Jasmi Thiru 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking to past in one go! I had a very great experience with Steve (pretty sure he is the one who took me for a drive). I was under my overseas licence and needed to past in one go and Steve was the one who made that possible. He emphasised on all the important points to pass the test. He was very professional and easy to communicate with. He made me very confident and I booked for the test as soon as I completed just one lesson with him. I am truly grateful for finding Novocastrian Driver Training.

William Baird 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Steve was an Amazing Driver Trainer! I could not praise him enough for the way he conducted lessons and making me feel safe and comfortable in the car. I am so glad we booked with Novocastrian Driver Training and will recommend him to everyone looking for lessons!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Novocastrian Driver Training highly enough! Steve is a complete professional that makes you feel so comfortable from day 1. He's encouraging but never pushes you past your comfort zone and is very understanding to everyone's individual pace for learning. If your looking for someone to get you on the road and confident in driving asap then this is the instructor for you and he's worth every penny. Passed my P's test first go and felt supported every step of the way. Thank you so much Steve!

angelique donoghue 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would recommend NDT to anyone looking to get driving lessons! I was initially a nervous driver but after lessons with Steve in 2019 I felt safe and confident on the road. I purchased another round of lessons in 2020 in preparation for my driving test and passed first go! Steve is an excellent instructor who is always calm and reassuring and booking was always straightforward.

Maria Rebecca Quintero 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: It was such a great experience to get driving lessons from Steve. I've been put off from taking the driving test for a while because I got so anxious when I took the test before when I was staying in Sydney, which was taught by a different driving lesson company/instructor. After moving to Newcastle, I decided to give the driving lessons again a go. Steve has been very professional, patient, very easy to communicate with, and genuinely valued teaching road safety and lessons to his students to become great drivers. I am not only happy in passing my driving test but I also feel confident that I would remember the lessons he taught me. Thank you so much for helping me, Steve!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Novacastrian driving! After putting off getting my license for a very long time I ended up getting a few lessons off Steve before I went for my test and I passed first go. Steve is very calm and supportive the whole time. I could not recommend them more! Thanks for everything Steve!

Fantastic experience: After many years putting off going for my test with the encouragement of Steve in my 10 lessons I was confident to sit my driving test and I passed first go! Yay! Thank you Steve for building up my confidence as a driver in a calm, friendly, professional and easy to understand manner. Anyone else looking for a driving instructor in Newcastle I highly recommend Steve at Novocastrian Driver Training. :)

Fantastic experience: I had three lessons with Steve prior to my P's test and he taught me so many tips and tricks on how to become a safer driver, which helped me pass the test first time. I would highly recommend his training to everyone. He's so friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful teacher, I've had a few lessons with him now and I have never been so comfortable in a car.

James 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took my time trying to get my licence, I struggled to find the motivation and time to learn how to drive until I started getting lessons with Steve. Steve has a professional, patient attitude towards instructing learners and will go through everything about driving safely on the roads. I went from completely nervous, unsafe driving habits to being more perceptive on the roads and more responsive to possible hazards thanks to his tuition. I recently passed my driving test with a perfect score on the very first attempt, thanks to these valuable lessons. If you're a learner driver in Newcastle, book a few lessons with Steve. It's more than worth it.

Matt Martin 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I never particularly enjoyed driving and put off learning for as long as I could—not the wisest anxiety reduction strategy, I know. But Steve was calm, skilled, and patient, and with his help I passed first try. I'd be happy recommending Novocastrian Driver Training to anyone.

Preethi Pinto 8 years ago
