Driver Lessons & Assessments

Drivewise Training School was started by Julie Crocker in 2004, after a friend recommended she teach driving. Building up a range of skills and a reputation for personalised service, Julie quickly succeeded in self-employment, and went from 2 cars to 3!


Julie offers lessons and assessments in Nambucca Heads, Coffs Harbour, Bellingen, Southwest Rocks and Kempsey. Julie has since brought her partner Rick into the mix – the two of them provide students of all ages with skills they’ll have for the rest of their lives.
