About Joondalup Driving Practice

Joondalup Driving Practice, based in Iluka, has built a strong reputation across Perth's northern suburbs since 2012. With a near-perfect Google rating, the school teaches both automatic and manual driving lessons, serving learners across a wide stretch of communities from Joondalup and Hillarys down through Currambine, Mindarie, and as far north as Alkimos and Eglinton. Instructor Andrew Pestel is the face of the business, and he's consistently praised by learners and parents alike for his calm, patient teaching style. Andrew has a knack for putting nervous and anxious drivers at ease, and learners describe him as down to earth, real, and genuinely encouraging. One parent noted how Andrew's relaxed approach gave their son the confidence to pass his test, while another contrasted him favourably with a previous, easily frustrated instructor. That patient, positive manner makes him a natural fit for teenagers and first-time learners, and many have gone on to pass their driving test on the first attempt. The school also caters to drivers converting an overseas licence to WA, offering familiarisation sessions that focus on local road rules and common mistakes made by international drivers. Lessons include pickup from home, school, or the train station, and test-day packages are available so learners can sit their test in the same car they've been practising in. Training covers obstacle work, parking, manoeuvres, and cabin drills, giving learners a well-rounded grounding behind the wheel. Parents frequently mention the excellent value of the lessons, and several have seen their kids achieve a perfect score or sail through on the first go. Joondalup Driving Practice offers patient, thorough instruction across the northern corridor from Burns Beach to Butler, serving driving lessons in Joondalup, Iluka, and surrounding areas with results that speak for themselves.
