Drivers Licence Testing Centres

If you are interested in opening your own drivers licence testing centre, one should first decide the level testing they would like to offer. There are 6 levels or ‘grades’ of testing centres according to South African Government which are determend by its level of equipped facilities catering for K53 drivers testing.

The 6 grades are:

Grade A: Authorised and equipped to examine and test a person for a learner’s and driver’s licence of ANY code.

Grade B: Authorised and equipped to examine and test a person for a learner’s licence of any code or driver’s licence of the code B, C1, C, EB, EC1 and EC. (So in other words light and heavy motor vehicles)

Grade C: Authorised and equipped to examine and test a person for a learner’s licence of any code or driver’s licence of the code A, A1, B. (So in other words motorcycles and light motor vehicles)

Grade D: Authorised and equipped to examine and test a person for a learner’s licence of any code or driver’s licence of the code B. (So in other words light motor vehicles only)

Grade E: Authorised and equipped to examine and test a person for a learner’s licence of any code.

Grade F: Authorised and equipped to do the conversion from a drivers licence contaioned in an identity document to a credit card format licence.

This information comes directly out of the K53 Bible, also known as the Government Gazette, published on 8 December 1998, so it’s accurate.

More will be published on driving instruction and testing requirements here in future so stay tuned.

2.)    You need a valid drivers licence.

3.)    Approach your local traffic department to write your instructors test

You will be given a medical assurance form which you need to take to your doctor to certify that you are medically fit (health not actually fit, as in making you run laps) to be a driving instructor.

4.)    Take your forms back to the traffic department

You will need to bring with you the following:

·        Your drivers license

·        Your South African Identity Document

·        Medical Assurance Certificate

You will be given another form to be taken to your local police department for police clearance.

5.)    Once you have your police clearance form cleared/signed by your local police department, you need to take that back to the traffic department.

6.)    You’ll then be required to write your Learners Licence again, in which your results need to be higher to pass than a regular learners licence. (The test is the same though)

7.)    Once you have passed your Learners Licence you need to make an appointment for and successfully complete your k53 drivers test

(Costs are dependent on which Province you’re in)
