In SA, how do lessons with a professional driving instructor count in your logbook?

Correct answer: 1 hour counts as 1 hour

SA currently gives no bonus logbook credit — an hour with a professional instructor counts as one hour. A 3-for-1 scheme (up to 5 hours of lessons logged as 15) is part of the driver training reforms that start in the first half of 2027.
