Due to the high volume of interest and increasing delays within the licensing system we are unable to take any more Expressions of Interest or registrations for our Road Ready Rangatahi Programme. We are doing everything we can to increase our pool of mentor drivers and are working with NZTA Waka Kotahi to find a solution to the increasing wait times for test bookings. We appreciate your patience while we work hard to get you back in the driver’s seat soon.

Thank you,

“Getting a licence is a huge achievement for rangatahi. As a mentor, you get to see them learn, grow, and succeed – knowing you have supported them to gain a life changing qualification. If you’re interested in joining our mentoring team, we would love to hear from you.”
