South Australia · Learner's Theory Test · SA licence rules

What are the two pathways from an SA learner's permit to a provisional licence?

The answer

There is only one pathway
Written test or online course
VORT (a one-off practical test) or CBT&A (a competency-based logbook course) Correct
Highway test or city test

Why that's the answer

SA learners choose between the Vehicle On Road Test (VORT) — a single practical exam — or Competency Based Training & Assessment (CBT&A), where an instructor signs off tasks over multiple lessons.
