Learner Licence Plus (Car, Motorbike & Heavy Vehicle)

The Learner Licence Plus money-back guarantee refunds the course if you don't pass the New Zealand learner licence theory test the first time. It covers the theory test for a car (class 1), motorbike (class 6) or heavy vehicle (classes 2 to 5). It doesn't cover practical driving tests.

To get a refund, you must:

• buy Learner Licence Plus before the date of your test
• answer every question correctly in all the free modules for your licence (for example, every module on the Car page - emergencies, core, behaviour, etc) before you take the test
• answer every question correctly in Learner Licence Plus before you take the test. Car drivers do not have to do the rider and heavy vehicle modules. Heavy vehicle drivers do not have to do the rider modules. Motorcyclists do not have to do the heavy vehicle modules.
• contact us using the Contact Us form. We'll tell you how to send proof.

You can get one refund for each course licence. The refund is up to the cost of one year's access to the course when you bought or renewed it.

Learner Licence Plus is an online course from DT Training. It helps you pass the New Zealand learner licence theory test for a car, motorbike or heavy vehicle. You get 20 extra modules, ad-free practice, saved results you can share with your driving instructor, and a money-back guarantee on the theory test.

The modules go beyond the test. They cover safe driving, buying and looking after a vehicle, and, if you need them, motorbike gear and truck basics.

Learner Licence Plus is for anyone in New Zealand studying for a learner licence, and the people helping them:

• new drivers studying for a car (class 1) learner licence
• new riders studying for a motorbike (class 6) learner licence
• drivers studying for a heavy vehicle learner licence (classes 2 to 5)
• parents and supervisors helping a learner
• driving instructors, schools and youth programmes who track learners' results

DT's learner licence practice tests are free and cover the road code questions for each licence class. Learner Licence Plus adds more on top. It removes the ads, saves all your results, and lets you share them with your driving instructor. It also adds 20 modules and a money-back guarantee on the theory test.

Learner Licence Plus covers how to pass the theory and practical tests and how to choose a driving instructor. It also covers safe driving skills: distractions, driving to the conditions, scanning ahead, fuel-efficient driving, braking, vehicle control and night driving.

Vehicle modules cover buying a car or motorbike, crash safety ratings, security, tyres and dashboard warning lights. Motorbike riders get modules on helmets and protective gear. Heavy vehicle learners get modules on truck parts, truck and trailer types, logbooks and getting a truck driving job.

Partly. Learner Licence Plus has a module on passing your theory and practical tests the first time, and one on choosing a driving instructor. Its safe driving modules also help with the restricted licence test. But it doesn't replace driving practice. You still need plenty of supervised driving with an experienced driver or a driving instructor before you sit the practical test.

No. In Learner Licence Plus, the motorbike modules, the heavy vehicle modules and the module on choosing a driving instructor are optional. A car learner can skip the motorbike and truck modules, which saves nearly an hour. 

Yes. Learner Licence Plus helps you prepare, but you still sit the official learner licence theory test in New Zealand. You book it with an NZTA driver licensing agent, such as AA or VTNZ.

The test has 35 multi-choice questions on a computer. For a car or motorbike licence, you need 32 right to pass. For a heavy vehicle licence, you need 33. You must be at least 16 to get a car learner licence.

Learner Licence Plus still prepares you for the same learner licence theory test. But from 25 January 2027 learners under 25 will need to hold their learner licence for 12 months, not 6, before the restricted test. They can cut this back to 6 months by logging enough practice hours or doing an approved driving course. All learner and restricted drivers will also have a zero alcohol limit, whatever their age.

Learner Licence Plus gives you 20 online modules, ad-free practice on DT's free road code tests, and unlimited storage of your results. You can share your results with your driving instructor. You get a certificate of achievement when you finish the course. You also get a money-back guarantee on the theory test and a year's access.

Yes. A parent or caregiver can buy one Learner Licence Plus course licence and assign it to their learner. You can then track their progress through the course and see their results. Setup is free. If your learner has already bought the course, they can share their results with you or their driving instructor.

Yes. A driving instructor, school, youth programme or employer can buy one Learner Licence Plus course licence per learner. You can assign the course, track progress and see results. You can add more managers at no extra cost, download reports and create certificates. Setup is free.

Learners who buy the course themselves can also share their results with their driving instructor.

Driving in Difficult Conditions goes well with Learner Licence Plus. It covers driving in rain, fog, ice, snow, high winds and sun strike, which new drivers have little practice in. For heavy vehicle learners, Pre-trip Inspection (Heavy Vehicles) teaches a full check of a truck before you drive it.

• You will need one course licence per learner taking the course. You can't use one licence for several learners.
• You will need a computer, smartphone or tablet with internet access.
• To use the money-back guarantee, also complete all the free modules for your licence class (Car, Motorbike or Heavy Vehicle).
