Learning to Drive in East Melbourne

Sprint Driving School has been teaching learners across CBD Melbourne for over 30 years, and East Melbourne is one of our most popular suburbs. Whether you’re a nervous first-timer picking up the keys for the first time, a parent organising lessons for your teenager, or an experienced driver converting an overseas licence, we tailor every lesson to where you’re at.

The roads around East Melbourne give learners a genuine, real-world education. You’ll get time on Wellington Parade, Hoddle Street and the Punt Road interchange. Because we teach on the streets you actually live and drive on — not a quiet car park miles away — the skills stick, and test day feels like just another lesson.

Your nearest test centre Carlton VicRoads

We run your East Melbourne lessons on the real Carlton test routes, so the roads, roundabouts and tricky intersections are second nature before you book your test.

What we cover in your East Melbourne lessons

  • The exact VicRoads test criteria — observation, hazard response, low-speed manoeuvres
  • Melbourne-specific skills: hook turns, tram-stop rules, clearways and lane filtering
  • Reverse parallel parking, three-point turns and reversing around corners
  • Real Carlton test-route practice and a full mock test under exam conditions
  • Logbook hours signed off as you go, if you’re on your learner permit
