Epic Driving School teaches manual transmission exclusively. Owner-operator Wayne Hipgrave runs all lessons in a modern Mazda 2 Sedan, working with learners across Trinity Beach, Cairns, Palm Cove, Edmonton, and Gordonvale. If you're after automatic lessons, this school won't suit, but if you want to learn manual or upgrade from automatic to manual, Wayne's patient teaching style makes the transition manageable even for nervous drivers.
Epic Driving School offers standard driving lessons in 60-, 90-, and 120-minute sessions, plus lesson packages with sliding scale rates, the more lessons you book upfront, the cheaper the per-lesson cost. Wayne also provides refresher lessons, overseas licence conversion instruction, and auto-to-manual upgrade lessons. Each hour of professional instruction counts as three logbook hours, helping Queensland learners meet their requirements faster.
