The latter costs, like 100 times as much, has 100 times as much paperwork and is 100 times harder to get.
OMG what a lot of mucking around I had no idea ET , best not do that one then .

ROFL... yeah, that is why I did all my Trainer stuff thru the Guvment, cost me nothing, only downside is I can only train guvment dudes.
#1 Son is a Trainer/Assessor/Safety dude. He did his 4WD, Dangerous Goods, Load Restraint and Heavy Vehicle Recovery stuff thru the RTO he works for, cost the RTO heaps and can also mean huge potential liabilities which is why they charge astonishing dollars to students/companies for courses.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

It could be the best decision you've ever made, but just make sure it's not a "life crisis" decision based on age. At 59 you still have a lot of life yet, probably enough to clear any debts before retirement, unless your planning retirement for 60. I'm 63, debt free, and now retired after being retrenched, and I had the same thoughts about 10 years ago. I wish you good luck and success with what ever your do.

I have a friend who has a manual vehicle as a driving instructor with the biggest franchise group in Brisvagas and is really struggling as most kids these days only want an auto licence. Make sense I suppose as in the future with electric and computer cars, who will need a manual licence.
At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)

That's one of my challenges, manual or auto. I live in the middle of no where, well actually, half way between Perth and Kalgoorlie. Gotta have dual pedals, too.
Another challenge is that to do their test, the learners have to have a 'pull up' handbrake, not a push button one.

Sort of means you need two of ,I know only one of mine did a test in a manual the rest were auto and I've never seen one of my sons mates cars that wasnt an auto so maybe it's more popular than we think .
If your out in the sticks would be hard to make ends meet if you have to lash out for both a manual and an auto.

Maybe. I'm still about 6 months off starting, so have a bit of time to work things out. Lots of 'Likes' and interest, but it's not a sale till the money's in the bank.
