FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

We offer Code 8 (light motor vehicles, up to 3,500 kg), Code 10 (heavy vehicles up to 16,000 kg) and Code 14 (extra-heavy vehicles). Let us know your goal and we'll match you with the right instructor and vehicle.

We cover both. Our learner classes prepare you for the K53 theory test, while practical lessons build the on-road skills you need to pass your driving test with confidence.

Robbie's serves Verulam and the surrounding North Coast suburbs. If you're located further out, we're happy to recommend trusted partner instructors in the broader Durban area.
