Gaining your Driver’s License is one of the biggest starter milestones in starting you on your journey towards independence.
YES runs a two-day course for young people with disabilities to learn the NZ Road Code in a different, interactive and innovative way, supporting them to gain their Learner’s, Restricted and Full Drivers License (theory-based). Best of all, the course is completely free of charge, and covers your material costs, license costs and refreshments.
By having our very own in-house facilitator and specialist, we are able to cater each class to meet our student’s learning needs.
