My boy just passed his MANUAL driving test FIRST GO with Chris. He is over the moon and we can’t thank Chris enough for all of his encouragement and patience over the last few months. Chris is an amazing guy and we’ll be back in a few years for him to teach child number two! If you’re looking for an instructor that is patient and kind to anxious learners, Chris is your guy!

I nailed my driving exam on the first go, all thanks to Chris who was so professional in handling my situation. I was a beginner with no background on driving, with his help and expertise i learned a lot faster about the safety and the right positioning on the road. He was so patient and have a calm manner on teaching, hence gave me confidence and the appropriate attitude in the road. Got my Philippine license converted to now FULL license.

I passed my driving test first time with Chris and I honestly couldn’t be happier! He is an absolutely amazing instructor — so patient, friendly, and encouraging, which made learning to drive feel easy and enjoyable from the start. Every lesson was really well structured and tailored to me, and my confidence improved so much each week. He always stayed calm and explained everything clearly, which made a huge difference. I felt completely ready for my test and passing first time was all down to his incredible teaching. I can’t recommend Chris and The Driving Education Academy highly enough — thank you so much po!

I highly recommend The Driver Education Academy to anyone looking for professional and effective driving lessons. Sir Chris is an exceptional driving instructor who truly goes above and beyond for his students. He patiently guided me through the entire process and helped me successfully PASS my practical driving test in one take, and transfer my overseas license to an Australian driver’s license. Sir Chris is very calm, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. He takes time to explain everything clearly, corrects mistakes constructively, and builds your confidence on the road. His helpful tips and practical approach made a huge difference in my driving skills and test readiness. If you’re looking for an instructor who is patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in your success, I can confidently say that Sir Chris and The Driver Education Academy are the best choice. Thank you for making this journey smooth and stress-free! 🚗✨

I highly recommend Sir Chris! He’s patient, calm, and very professional. His digital notes are a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ bonus, they made it so much easier to review and remember everything before my test His SMS (Signal, Mirror, Shoulder) and SSMS (Signal, Slow Down, Mirror, Shoulder) reminders were simple but made a huge difference. He also gave me lots of encouragement and practical tips to manage my anxiety, especially by reminding me to voice out whenever I was unsure instead of overthinking. Maraming Salamat Sir Chris! I passed my NSW driving test and got my full NSW licence.

Passed my driving test first try in a manual thanks to Chris! He helped me identify my issues, fix them, alongside preparing me for the driver test his further indepth teaching of road rules was super helpful. In the span of a few lessons I was test ready and passed. Highly recommend as an instructor as I would not be able to do it without him.

I highly recommend Chris! My son took lessons with them and had a fantastic experience. They were incredibly patient, calm, and made him feel comfortable behind the wheel from day one. Every lesson was well-structured, and they explained difficult maneuvers in a way that was very easy to understand. Thanks to their excellent teaching and encouragement, my son passed his driving test on his very first try! If you want a top-tier instructor who gets results, look no further.

Thank you so much Chris, your finer details have paid off with Josh passing 100% perfectly, first time in a manual. When we started with DEA Josh could drive, we just wanted to make sure we had all the finer details. Finding a manual instructor was hard, then we found Chris on Facebook. From the moment we met him, he put our minds at ease, he was calm with the right attitude and a sense of humor that line perfectly with us! Well Chris last night after the final lesson, you said no less than perfect lol…. Josh delivered 109!!!! Thanks again, we will be definitely recommending you to our friends for both manual and auto lessons.

I highly recommend Chris ( The driver education academy) . He is incredibly knowledgeable and truly knows how to teach in a way that makes everything clear and easy to understand. One of the things I appreciated most is how calm and patient he is — no matter the situation, he explains things gently and confidently, which really helped me build trust and stay relaxed during lessons. Thanks to his excellent teaching style, I passed my driving test on the first attempt. He makes sure you learn everything you need to know and do in order to be fully prepared for the test. Every lesson felt structured, helpful, and focused on what actually matters on the road. If you’re looking for a great instructor who is skilled, supportive, and genuinely dedicated to helping his students succeed, Chris is definitely the one to choose. Highly recommended! 🚗💯

My son told me that without Chris' hour tune up lesson before his P test today he would have failed because of the nerves and the small important things he forgot and needed a refresher on. I wanted to find the best person to pair my son with to make sure he was ready for the big day and, without hesitation, Chris made the 1 hour commute a couple of times and gave him the few little driving skills he needed. I appreciate the time Chris. Thankyou again.

I highly recommend Chris from DEA as a driving instructor. My son trained with him over the course of several months. Chris’ patient, clear, and encouraging teaching style made a huge difference to my son’s confidence behind the wheel. Chris was always punctual and professional, and he provided detailed feedback after each lesson that really helped my son to improve. Thank you Chris!!

Thank you, Sir Chris! I passed my driving test earlier today. For someone like me who barely had any driving practice due to busy house chores, and who wasn't used to right-hand drive on the left side of the road, I passed on my first try after just two sessions with you. I applied all the techniques and strategies you taught me about driving here in Australia. The roads were unfamiliar to me, and there were many hazards along the way, but I still passed. Your service is highly recommended.

Hard work truly pays off! After just one lesson with Sir Chris from DEA, I passed my driving test! It wasn’t easy breaking old habits, but with his expert guidance, I made it through. The journey was tough, but the fulfillment at the end was worth it. If you’re looking for the best tips and training to get your P’s or Full License, I highly recommend DEA. Thank you so much, Sir Chris, for your incredible support!

Successfully converted my overseas license without a hitch—thanks to Chris! He is an excellent driving instructor—professional, chill, and makes learning fun. His instructions are clear, and he creates a relaxed environment that helps build confidence. He’s the go-to guy for anything with wheels—or wings. Highly recommended!
