SSDC - Jape

HEYS THERE!
just want to share a little something that i have been doing from the beginning of the year.
I have been driving!! wooo interesting!. The structure is rather complicated at first (reason why i post after 6 months)I will be clarifying the structure here so that everyone who sees this blog will have a better understanding.. (they should pay me man!)

Ok so.. when u first enrol, its $155.15 for manual transmission and $101.65 for automatic transmission. This is a one time pay for a year enrolment, subsequently, an addition of $70+ for another year extension. This enrolment fee includes free theory lessons(1,2,3,4) and free theory books(basic and advance).


Next, it goes like this. You will need to book 4 slots of theory trial test first, each at $5.25
Explanation: First three will be for practice, answers will be given. The last one however, is a trial test, no answers will be provided. A pass is needed so that the Basic Theory Test(BTT) can be BOOKED, at $6.00(1 month later).
My experience: I had huge problems here because of classes clashing with the test date.
Validity of booked BTT/FTT is 30 days. Once over or missed, you have to book for 1 trial test slot to see if u pass + you will have to wait 1 month for the BTT or FTT that is booked.

After having a pass in BTT, you will be able to start the practical lessons at SSDC!. Each lesson is priced at $71.69 during off peak hours and $80.25 during peak hours.
My case: I signed up for manual transmission and therefore have a total of 33 lessons, automatic transmission should be less (28?maybe). In the middle of the lesson, around 20-21, you will have to take a compulsory automatic transmission lesson for the manual transmission.

At the same time, do remember to try and complete the FTT. Similar to BTT, the FTT also need the student to book 4 slots of theory trial test.
I forgot to mention!! After attending the basic theory TRIAL test, the money you paid will be transferred to you into your student account so that you won't have to spend money for the final theory TRIAL test.

All in all, during the practical lessons, the student must complete all of the following
1) A.T.V
2) FTT

When completed the lessons and the above 2 points, the student will be able to book for a practical test at the kiosk. $20.00 per test.
My experience: This is where I am still at, be sure to check the update in late december--- wish me luck!
