Safer Drivers Course training: the short answer
Quick answer: Every Safer Drivers Course facilitator and coach must complete a one-day training program before they deliver the course to learner drivers. 121 Driver Training is an approved provider of the Safer Drivers Course Training Program. Your Safer Drivers Course provider enrols you, the fee is $605 including GST per course, your session goes ahead whatever the numbers, and if you later need to retrain, it’s free.
Reviewed by Sina Bakhshalian, CEO of 121 Driver Training, training driving instructors since 2019. Last updated November 2026.
The Safer Drivers Course is for learner drivers under 25 who have logged at least 50 hours of driving. It has two modules: Module 1, a facilitated group discussion, and Module 2, an in-vehicle coaching session. Learners who complete it receive 20 hours of log book credit.
Facilitators deliver Module 1 and coaches deliver Module 2. Each role has its own one-day training program, delivered strictly to the official program guides, with the official delivery guide and workbook for every participant.
Anyone who hasn’t delivered a module to learner drivers in the past six months must complete the training again before they go back to teaching it. With us, that retraining costs nothing.

Safer Drivers Course training FAQsCommon questions
Who can enrol in the training?
Only facilitators and coaches who are engaged, or about to be engaged, by an accredited Safer Drivers Course provider, and who meet the prerequisites. The provider enrols them and pays the fee. Trainees can’t enrol or pay for themselves.
Will my session be cancelled if not enough people book?
No. Once your booking is confirmed, the session goes ahead, even if your trainee is the only person booked. We would only move a date for reasons outside our control, such as severe weather, and you could then rebook at no cost or receive a full refund.
How does free retraining work?
Facilitators and coaches who haven’t delivered a module to learner drivers in the past six months must complete the training again. If we trained you, your provider re-enrols you with us as usual and there’s no fee, as many times as you need it while we’re an approved provider.
How much does the training cost?
$605 including GST ($550 plus GST) per trainee, for facilitator or coach training. The provider pays before the training day.
How long is the training?
One day for each course. Facilitator training and coach training are separate days, so someone delivering both modules completes both courses.
What are the prerequisites for facilitators?
A Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, or an Australian degree or diploma in education (or an overseas equivalent certified by an Australian institution) with teaching experience, at least 12 months’ experience facilitating or teaching, and a current Working with Children Check.
What are the prerequisites for coaches?
A current, unrestricted NSW driving instructor licence, at least 12 months’ experience as a licensed driving instructor, and a current Working with Children Check.
Can I train before I have 12 months’ experience?
No. Facilitators need at least 12 months’ facilitation or teaching experience, and coaches need at least 12 months as a licensed driving instructor, before they can enrol.
When do I get my certificate?
On the day you complete the training. You also receive the delivery guide and workbook for your module.
Where is the training held?
In Sydney, at a venue confirmed with each booking. Regional sessions are available on request, so talk to us if your team is outside Sydney.
What if my trainee can’t attend?
Tell us at least 7 days before the session and we’ll move them to another date free of charge, once. With less than 7 days’ notice, or if they don’t attend, they can be rebooked into another date for 50% of the fee ($302.50 including GST). If they can’t attend because of illness or an emergency, we’ll move them free of charge whatever the notice, with evidence such as a medical certificate. You can also send another eligible trainee from your organisation in their place at no cost.
