Why We Started Shahab Driver Training

Getting your driver's license is an exciting moment, but learning to drive can often feel nerve-wracking.

Back in 2020, we started Shahab Driver Training because we saw too many learners feeling stressed, rushed, or intimidated by strict instructors. We wanted to offer something better: a friendly driving school on the Gold Coast and Greater Brisbane where safety comes first, and where every student is given the time they need to learn at their own pace.

Whether you are 16 years old getting into the driver's seat for the first time, a parent looking for a trustworthy teacher for your teenager, or an adult driver who wants to get back on the road after a long break, our driving instructors on the Gold Coast are here to support you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many professional driving lessons do I need before taking the test in QLD?

Answer: While Queensland law requires 100 logbook hours (if you are under 25), taking professional lessons helps you learn faster.
