about us

Our Specialty is providing positive individualised lessons for Learners with sensitive learning needs, such as sensory disorders, mental well-being, and those from a Cultural and Linguistic Diverse community requiring a Queensland licence.  Besides our passion for road safety, we are equally passionate about making driving fun and relaxed, 

Our aim is to see Learner Drivers demonstrating safe, confident driving skills, taking personal responsibility for decision making while out on the road.  Every time the Learner get behind the wheel, they should be consciously working towards becoming P-Plate ready, that is, preparing to drive 'unsupervised'.  Therefore, at H2O, we are all about maximising driving experiences,  exploring a wide range of roads, conditions and traffic density, hence our name "Hills 2 Ocean".  As we are located in the Gold Coast Hinterland, we understand the importance of all drivers gaining an understanding on how to drive the rural roads while doing plenty of driving on our busy Gold Coast roads (especially if you are going to be doing your Practical Test on the Gold Coast).
