Turn Your Driving Knowledge Into a Rewarding Career

Are you ready to transform your driving expertise into a professional teaching career? As a privately owned Registered Training Organisation (#46350), Driver Academy Australia helps experienced drivers become qualified, successful Motor Driving Instructors (MDIs) who enjoy profitable businesses while making our roads safer.

We Understand Your Journey

We know the path to becoming a certified instructor comes with its challenges—complex certification requirements, uncertainty about teaching abilities, and concerns about building a sustainable business. Many training organisations focus only on enrolment, leaving students to navigate the journey alone.

You deserve better. With the right guide, your driving knowledge can become a rewarding, profitable teaching career.

Your Experienced Guide

With over 40 years of industry experience, our founder Paul Tanner (former president of the Australian Driver Trainers Association) has assembled a team dedicated to your success. We deliver nationally accredited Transport and Logistics training that’s tailored to meet student, industry, and employer needs.

We’re committed to your completion, not just your enrolment.
