Simulator Training for Learner Motorists

Content Overview

Driving and riding simulator training is mandatory for learner motorists who wish to obtain Class 2B, 2A, 2, 3, or 3A driving licences.

Learner motorists may book the modules and find out information on the payable fees and availability of slots from the respective driving centres in Singapore:

Simulator training provides learner motorists with a realistic, experiential and immersive driving and riding experience, without being physically on the road. Learner motorists will also have the opportunity to practise defensive driving and riding in a safe and controlled environment.

Learner motorists will go through various on-road scenarios to allow them to learn how to better navigate and react to various road conditions and risks. The scenarios for the course are based on the top 10 causes of traffic accidents resulting in injuries, such as high-speed cornering on expressways, cyclists in blind spots, as well as driving and riding in wet weather conditions.

Learner motorists will only be allowed to take the practical driving or riding test¹ upon successful completion of the simulator training.

¹The practical driving or riding test must be taken within 2 years of completion of the course.
