The learner licence is the first step in getting your full driver licence through the Graduated Licensing Scheme (GLS).
The GLS is the process you need to go through to get a full licence. By building up your driving experience and passing the required tests, you will gain the skills and knowledge to be a safe driver.
On your learner licence (or your Ls), you develop your driving skills under the supervision of a driver with a full licence.
To get your learner licence, you need to:
be 16 or over
prove your identity
pass an eyesight test
pass the Driver Knowledge Test.
