About AlphaPro

I aim to be the best driving school in Canberra and I am building my reputation with every student I train. A reputation for fairness and honesty, for doing things the right way. Not just training you for a test or to pass the log book assessments but to train you to drive properly and safely in everyday driving conditions.

I am passionate about training learner drivers to have all the skills they need to drive efficiently and safely. I'm talking about training you to avoid accidents, how to recognise and anticipate dangerous driving practices and situations as you drive and how to react and stay alive. These techniques should be part of your basic driver training. With me they are!

Now about fairness. Some of my students have told me of bad experiences with other instructors. Complaints like only doing 1 competancy per lesson or making you do more lessons than needed by being too nit picking. I don't think that's fair!

If you can demonstrate the competancy to the official requirements, I can mark off more each lesson. I realise that learning to drive is already expensive enough in time and money, so I do my best to make you safe and certified as soon as possible. I don't charge for the Certificate of Competancy that you need to get your 'P's either.

I teach anywhere in Canberra. I can pick you up from home, school or work and drop you off to your chosen destination after the lesson. Just discuss it with me when booking.

Our instructor

Charles Powell (Honda Jazz - auto. ACT accreditation)

I have over 40 years of everyday driving experience in city, suburbs and country situations. I learnt to drive in Sydney, have been 4WD driving in South Western Australia, outback driving in a Mazda 929 in the Kimberleys (North West Australia) and driving around Bali. I now drive in what I consider to be one of the most dangerous of all situations - daily peak hours in Canberra on the Parkway!

I aim to teach all my students how to drive to survive by 'reading' the road and other drivers, expecting the unexpected, keeping your calm and respecting other drivers.

I loves working on my cars and driving them. My favourites arw a 1989 Nissan 300ZX coupe and a 2006 SAAB 93 Aero with a 2.6 lt v6 turbo and 6 spped auto gearbox. As often as I can I go with other friends on outings with their 'Z's. I have learnt to drive safely on wet roads at an Ian Luff Defensive Driving School.
