Practical Test Bookings

Book your practical test with Waka Kotahi/NZTA

Change or cancel your practical test with Waka Kotahi/NZTA

IMPORTANT: Thames Driver Training is a Driving Instructor, not a Testing Officer for practical license testing. Your practical test must be booked only with Waka Kotahi/NZTA - not Thames Driver Training.

However, we do provide "Practice Practical Driving Tests for Restricted and Full" for those who want to practice first and get feedback to help. Our Instructor was a Testing Officer and did over 10,000 tests, so the test feels real, but with coaching assistance picking up on errors as you go. Our practice tests are optional practice only and not the real test.
