Trent Driving School
North Ryde, New South Wales
General Info
Trent Driving School was started in 1969 in a response to a vacuum that existed in the driver training industry. The intent was to teach people to drive safely and not just to pass the test. To this day, we teach young people to drive safely and pride ourselves on achieving this time and again. Our company comprises over 100 employees and we operate across the Sydney metro area, the Central Coast and the Illawarra. As well as driving lessons, we deliver the certificate IV in driving instruction and workplace training and assessment. Our road safety programs for schools have been effective as well as popular.

Today I passed my P's test thanks to my wondeful instructor Bernie. He managed to help me in just 2 months of lessons to pass with a fantastic score! Bernie is a really great teacher and a lovely man. I enjoyed the laughs we shared during our lessons and even though Im thrilled to have passed my test today I'm sad because we wont get to have lessons together anymore! I would recommend Bernie 100% to anyone. Especially if you want an extremely knowledgeable, relatable teacher... who will make learning to drive an incredibly enjoyable experience. Bernie, thank you again for helping me to overcome my fear of driving and teaching me how to be a safe and confident driver. I'll always remember to check for M.I.B. All the best my fellow Leo!

Today I passed the driving test and got my P’s. Firstly I want to give a huge thank you to Bernie (my instructor), who in under 4 months taught me everything it takes to drive safely and successfully passed my test on the first go, after being on those dreaded L’s for around 10 yrs. In the first lesson, (night driving) I was treated to such a cheerful smile and all subsequent lessons as well, it eased my nerves and made learning fun and something to look forward to each week.... He is very thorough, making sure you understand everything in the LTrent instruction manual, setting you up for success before you go for your test. We skipped the first set of learning outcomes, such as starting & stopping and steering because in our first lesson I had told Bernie I could drive, and it took us well into our lessons that he explained the amazing concept of “power steering”, (I have never been so fascinated in this driving aid). When we were going through the section on roundabouts, for those who have been to Lidcombe area before, there is a roundabout shaped like a very long oval (confusing right?), Bernie took me to see a bean shaped one! Not once, but 3 times! (yes, yes Bernie I know we have to indicate left when we leave the ‘a bout’). If you struggle with the concept of parking like I was, (a very big fear of mine, and the reason I never took the test, that and lane changing) Bernie is an amazing instructor, teaching me the manoeuvres required to successfully park anywhere, including the techniques required for ‘return to curb’ and ‘3 point turn’ (in a 5’ point turn road). I will be forever grateful to him for introducing the concepts ‘aim high, see the whole scene’ and ‘early decisions’ making me more confident in driving on multi laned roads and lane changing. He also takes you around test routes where challenging roads occur (the one lane road behind the service NSW with 3 stop signs and parked cars on either side), which I think is a great tool, because it sets you up for different road conditions which you may, or may not come across in your test, or in your future driving experience. So a huge thank you to Bernie (you have to request for him!), for all the laughs and jokes you shared in the car during all the road trips we had in the greater sydney area with the pigeons. You really made my driving experience worthwhile and something to remember, including all the shoulder checks. You gave me back the confidence to drive on the road safely, and I will miss the routine weekend lessons we had. Thank you for putting up with all my jokes and having the patience to teach me for the past 4 months. See more

I had the pleasure of being instructed by Nic Townsend. He was knowledgeable, calming, and a fantastic teacher. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test with 106/109. His emphasis on safe driving, especially checking at intersections saved me from getting sideswiped by a red light runner going 80. Lessons with Trent are a worthwhile investment, and I would highly recommend them.

Leigh was everything I wanted in a driving instructor and more. She is encouraging, alert, and perceptive. Also, her explanations are very detailed, logical, and practical — this was something I really appreciated. I passed my driving test with flying colours at my first attempt, and I simply could not have done this without Leigh and her meticulous teaching style. I looked forward to each lesson with her, and I can confidently say she’s built strong foundations for safe driving within me. I highly recommend her and Trent Driving School.

I just got my red Ps on my first go, thanks to Ltrent's Matthew! Aside from teaching me to drive *safely*, he helped me work towards a specific goal date and really built my confidence with his constant encouragement and ability to keep calm no matter what mistakes I made. Learning with someone focused on your experience as a learner makes such a difference compared to the usual family setup (being regularly yelled at in horror by the "supervising driver", causing you to frea...k out yourself). The latter made me nervous and panicky which led to more mistakes, but Matthew explained road rules in detail, took everything in stride and kept me calm, for which I'm very grateful. He gave me all the feedback I needed to learn and improve without ever being demeaning, explained exactly what I needed to do for the test, explained the reasons for every move (all couched in safe driving) and kept me entertained with his stories! Since I'm over 25 I didn't need to complete the logbook, so I went from Ls to passing in 3 months (in between work and family). Pretty cool. Many thanks to Matthew and Ltrent! :D See more

I booked a 6 lesson pack with George and am very happy I did! He taught me in detail everything I needed to pass first time and to continue to drive safely after passing!. I would highly recommend him if you are a beginner as well as if your coming to the end of your L's driving hours as he was excellent at calming nerves for the new to driving stage and the test.

I booked my daughter Gabi for lessons with Ray as I had heard many great things about him and they were right! Ray has the ability to relate to people no matter what their age. Gabi felt comfortable with him straight away and even though she had the basics worked out, Ray taught her the finer details and the small things that really make a difference to the way she drives. She passed her test on the first try with 100%. I would definitely recommend Ray to any person wanting an awesome instructor! Thanks Ray.

I want to say a huge thank you to George M. for being an awesome instructor and for helping me pass my Learner driving test on the first go. He's tough but fair and you even end up growing to like the toughness (or maybe that's just me!). Would definitely not recommend arguing with him about whether or not you made that mistake he called you on. Take it from me, that's a battle you're never going to win! Thanks, George! Legend.

Did my driving lessons with George K & could not give him any higher praise. I passed my P test with a pretty much perfect score but not only that, he has prepared me for driving by myself and gave me lessons that I will use all my driving life. Friendly, easy to get along with and a fantastic teacher above all. Could not have asked for a better instructor.

I can comfortably say that the reason I was able to pass my driving test was because of lessons with Bernie at L-Trent. Bernie was able to pick up lessons at my level of competence, which was fantastic given that I am late to the learning to drive game. He is extremely knowledgable about driving and has a very supportive teaching style. Bernie has a skill in encouraging and was able to push me to brush up on techniques that required further improvement and turn them into habits. He made every lesson enjoyable and I cannot thank him enough for the contribution he made to not only me passing my test but also in becoming a safe and competent driver for the future. Would highly recommend him to other learners.

After a handful of disastrous driving lessons with family, followed by ten years sitting on my Ls, I was nervous about finally learning to drive. To say I was a hopeless student is an understatement. I didn’t know which pedal was which, I kept trying to turn the wheel in reverse like a joystick, and watching The Fast and the Furious made me cry uncontrollably. However, thanks to my L Trent instructor, Bernie, those days are behind me, after I passed my test last week on the ...first try. Our first lesson involved practicing accelerating and braking in a quiet back street (a process which would have looked baffling to the local residents). By lesson two, I had grasped the subtle art of turning left at 2km/h. My driving style would have been best described as ‘tentative,’ ‘meandering’ and ‘timid,’ and a lesser instructor would have given up and begged for re-assignment. However, a year later I am driving with confidence, thanks to Bernie’s infinite patience and understanding. The L Trent curriculum is very comprehensive, and the workbook covers everything with clear instructions and diagrams. Having things explained clearly is a huge benefit. Trying to drive with family, I was given vague advice like “just drive, it’s not hard, even idiots can drive, what’s wrong with you?” The L Trent system doesn’t expect you to be able to “just eyeball it,” but actually explains how, in a plain and sensible way. Some of the tips will stay with me forever – for instance, at crossings, don’t intimidate the pedestrians (as I say, the pedestrians should be worried about intimidating me). Of course, the best thing about learning to drive with L Trent was Bernie. Over the past year he has been the best instructor imaginable. Bernie is full of useful advice, like the benefits of slowing down for speed humps (they’re called speed humps, Bernie, not slow humps). He also laughs at my jokes, which was worth the price of admission by itself. I would recommend L Trent and particularly Bernie to anyone learning to drive, but especially people who are deeply incompetent. Thanks Bernie for all your help, and apologies for all the stress medication you’re probably taking after spending a year with me. See more

I booked a ten-pack of lessons with L-Trent not really knowing what to expect. I'm very old to be driving for the first time, and I was nervous as all-get-out when the time came for my first lesson. I was lucky enough to be paired with Geoff (Geoffrey Mourade) who was able to make me feel comfortable right from the outset. He threw me right under the bus, so to speak, and I was driving from the very first lesson. Geoff's approach to teaching is very calm and pleasant, allowi...ng me to be in control of the vehicle the whole time while learning to improve every step of the way. He has a knack of knowing when I might be under a bit of stress and knowing when to point out mistakes so as not to cause alarm or over correction. He allowed me to be the one identifying my own mistakes rather than always having them pointed out. I passed my driver's test today on the first attempt and I have to give Geoff full credit for being able to convert me from a mature-age novice into a P-plater in such a efficient and comprehensive way. L-Trent's entire approach to driving is about safety and comfort and though it gets you ready for the test, it also gets you ready to be a responsible and safe driver too. I think the latter is more important. I plan to book a few more lessons even though I now have my Ps so that I can take advantage of Geoff's experience in more advanced situations like high-speed and freeway driving. See more
