Q: What can I expect from you as an instructor?

There is a range of computer and mobile apps to test your knowledge. Put in the hours and make the most of these accessories.
Q: How long is the theory test valid?
A: It is valid for two years. If you do not pass your practical test within this period, you will need to re-take the theory test.
