What you should know
PrepL is a self-paced, online course for drivers, including learner drivers, needing to get a Queensland car (C class) licence. It teaches road rules and safe driving through interactive activities, videos and scenarios.
The course covers:
- driving attitude
- signs and rules
- sharing the road with others.
The course includes assessment components that unlock as you complete each stage. It also has a final test with 30 multiple choice questions. You must answer at least 27 questions correctly to pass.
If you pass the test before you turn 16, you'll need to wait until your birthday to get your learner licence.
