My son wants to take class 3 and i insisted that he takes a PI. Can any of u guys who had taken the private route help as i seem not to be able to find much info for private candidates from Basic Theory to the driving test itself.

1. How do i go about booking a BT test as a private candidate.

2. Is it a must to enrol in one of the driving school

3. What are the fees to be paid as a private candidiate

Thanks in advance.

It's a must to open an account for private candidate with one of the driving centres to take the basic and final theory tests. Not sure whether you can still register at the counter or have to use the automated kiosks. No idea of the current fees, you can call the driving centres to enquire.

 

Once you have opened an account, you can use the kiosks or the driving school website to book a test date for the basic theory test, and once you have passed this, you can do the same for the theory test.

I think it depends on the school. I took my theory tests as private as SSDC. All I had to do was just to go there and enrol myself in. For CDC, you must pay a deposit. Thats as far as I can remember. Pardon me if I'm wrong.

Apart from being cheaper, why insist of taking PI?

 

IMHO, most of the PI in singapore and retiring and many of them "spoil their own market". They teach without standard and try to keng your try by talking c--k in the lesson and going for 15mins kopi/smoke break. Then when you play punk they choot alot of taxi-driver styled pattern to make/treaten you to stay on. For that few dollars cheaper, I still think its super not worth cos at that end of the day you might as well borrow a car and learn yourself.

 

At least in school they cannot play punk and follow a standard set of ciriculuim/lessons. You see the milestones and very clear what to acheive at the end of the lesson.

 

Sorry, I have f--king bad experience with PI that's why I super biased... My farking PI robbed me a few years from getting a license.

1. How do i go about booking a BT test as a private candidate.

 

There are two counters at the driving centre, one is the school counter and another TP counter. Go to TP counter to book BTT, ATT, Provisional License and make Driving License after pass test.

 

2. Is it a must to enrol in one of the driving school

 

No.

 

3. What are the fees to be paid as a private candidiate

 

My time was S$6 for BTT

My fren from sch one, complete all lessons within a mth n took his 1st TP test. But he failed lah. Pass on 2nd attempt. But if he passed on 1st attempt he would be faster than private.

School can be so fast? Your friend should be very free to attend lesson everyday, that's why can clear all the stages so fast.
