Getting on the road for the first time is an exciting time for learner drivers....and a nerve-wracking time for parents. Professional lessons can help prepare learners for a safe driving future, but when unexpected conditions arise, sometimes the basics aren´t enough. That’s why CENTRAL QUEENSLAND DRIVING ACADEMY is now offering driving lessons 7 days a week! Learner drivers will learn defensive d

riving skills as part of their normal lessons. If you were to pay for a defensive driving course, you would be looking to pay in excess of $300 for the one day course. The more lessons that you complete with CQDA, the more defensive driving skills you will be instructed in. We have clients who have completed more than 20 lessons with CQDA which accounts for log book hours just so that they have acquired the necessary defensive driving skills. We are not telling people that they have to complete 20 hours but the more lesson then the more information you receive. Other services that we provide are Q-Ride courses, Motorbike lessons, Truck lessons from MR to HC and defensive driving courses. Our wonderful team here at CQDA are bursting with experience! Russell Dann has 20 years’ experience with driver training in cars, trucks, buses and motorbikes. Russell has a unique way of teaching people new skills whilst learning basic driving. So if you’re looking for a great driver trainer, stop looking because you have found him! Yana Thompson has been working with us here at CQDA for 12 months now. Yana makes sure that when you’re booking in that it is as convenient as possible so that it works in with our trainers and most importantly with YOU! Alex Twining has recently completed his time with the Australian Army in the Transport Corps, but dont be worried, Alex has a pleasant and humorous manner of teaching students. Alex is a qualified Military Driving Instructor and loves being able to apply what he's learnt to the the students of Emerald. Alex has spent years training army personal on a variety of cars, busses and trucks. We also have convenient payment methods; you can pay cash, EFT/Credit card with our portable machine or Bank Transfer. So why not gives us a call today and don’t forget that we are available for lessons 7 DAYS A WEEK!

To our valued customers,
Transport Dept have been having some issues with log book approvals over the past couple of weeks which now have been rectified. If you have any unapproved log book trips that we need to approve, can you back up your log book app to the cloud and then resend these outstanding trips.
I have had a couple of customers where I have recognised the unapproved trips which prompted a call to the transport dept and hence an investigation which has fixed the issue.
Email me at [email protected] if you need assistance with outstanding trip approvals
Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience, we aim to have your trips approved ASAP
