Overseas Licence Conversion Training
Moving to New Zealand and need to convert your licence?
Driving in New Zealand can be very different from driving overseas.
Even experienced drivers can find the New Zealand road environment, road rules and practical driving test expectations unfamiliar.
Elite Driver Training provides one-to-one training for overseas licence holders who want to become safer and more confident driving in New Zealand, or who need to prepare for a practical driving test as part of converting their overseas licence.
Training tailored to your experience
This isn't about teaching an experienced driver how to drive from the beginning.
We'll assess your existing driving, identify any differences between your current driving habits and New Zealand requirements, and concentrate the training where it will make the biggest difference.
Training can include:
- New Zealand road rules and road positioning
- Driving on the left
- Intersections, roundabouts and give-way rules
- Lane selection and lane discipline
- Speed management
- Following distance
- Observation and hazard awareness
- Mirror use and blind-spot checks
- Rural and higher-speed driving
- New Zealand practical driving test expectations
- Identifying driving habits that may affect your test result
Practical test preparation
If you are required to complete a New Zealand practical driving test, we can carry out a focused pre-test assessment and identify anything that needs improving before your test.
You'll receive clear, practical feedback rather than simply driving around a potential test route.
The aim is to help you understand the standard expected so that you can apply it consistently wherever you drive.
Exempt and non-exempt countries
The process for converting an overseas licence depends on the country that issued your licence.
Some countries are recognised by NZTA as exempt countries, while drivers from non-exempt countries may be required to complete theory and practical testing.
Clients should always confirm their individual conversion requirements directly with NZ Transport Agency, as requirements can change.
