Real Success Stories from Our Learners

Real Success Stories from Our Learners at Mark Anthony's Driving School

Kean’s Journey to Confidence on the Road

“I thought I would never drive again after that incident,” Kean shared. “But my instructor at Mark Anthony’s was so patient with me. I was able to take it step by step, and before I knew it, I was driving confidently without any fear. I passed my driving test on the first try!”

Kean’s story is a testament to how overcoming fear and anxiety with the right support can lead to success.

Nomsa’s Determination to Get Her Licence

“I didn’t have a lot of time to dedicate to lessons, but Mark Anthony’s Driving School worked with my schedule. They were so flexible with lesson times, and that made all the difference. The instructors are very professional and really understand what it takes to teach people who are busy,” Nomsa said.

Her hard work paid off—Nomsa passed her driving test and now has the freedom to balance her work and family commitments much more easily.

Thabo’s High-Speed Success

With a clear plan and the help of our dedicated instructors, Thabo completed an intensive course designed to fast-track his progress. “I appreciated how they made sure I learned everything properly, but also at a pace that worked for me. I never felt rushed, but I also didn’t feel like I was wasting time. I learned so much in each lesson.”

Thabo passed his driving test on his first attempt and is now enjoying the freedom of driving his own vehicle.

Nadine’s Path to Professional Driving

“I needed to learn fast but also thoroughly,” Nadine said. “My job depends on being able to drive safely and reliably, and Mark Anthony’s really prepared me for that. The instructors gave me practical tips that I still use every day, and now I’m in line for a promotion thanks to my new skillset!”

Nadine is an example of how driving lessons can be more than just a personal achievement—they can also be a gateway to professional growth.

Kabelo’s Story: From Nervous Beginner to Confident Driver

“At first, I didn’t know if I’d be able to handle all the steps involved in safe driving,” Kabelo admitted. “But my instructor was patient and broke everything down into manageable lessons. Before I knew it, I was checking mirrors, signaling, and handling the car with confidence. I passed my test with flying colours!”

Kabelo now drives regularly and is a proud example of how a supportive, structured learning process can transform even the most hesitant beginner into a skilled driver.

Jason’s Journey: From South Africa to Australia, and Back Behind the Wheel

But life had more in store for Jason. Not long after getting his licence, he made the decision to move to Australia, eager to start a new chapter in a country full of opportunities. What he didn’t anticipate, though, was that his South African driver’s licence wasn’t fully recognised in Australia. Due to Australia’s strict driving regulations, Jason had to go through the process of getting a new licence—this time under Australia’s system, which included using P plates (provisional plates) and passing additional driving tests.

A New Set of Challenges in Australia

Driving in Australia was quite different from South Africa. While the basics of driving remained the same, Australia’s system was much more regulated, especially for new residents and younger drivers. Jason had to navigate the provisional licensing system that required him to drive with P plates, adhere to stricter speed limits, and pass both a knowledge test and a practical driving test.

At first, Jason was nervous. He thought back to the driving lessons he had taken in South Africa and wondered if they had truly prepared him for the new challenges he was facing. But as he began to practice and study for his Australian tests, he realised something important: the driving habits and safety principles he had learned at Mark Anthony’s Driving School were exactly what he needed to succeed.
