VORT (Vehicle On-Road Test): What to Expect at Sunshine Driving Training

Drive Your Way to Success with Confidence

The VORT (Vehicle On-Road Test) is one of the most important steps toward getting your driver’s license — and at Sunshine Driving Training, we’re here to make sure you ace it. Whether you’re a first-time driver or someone who needs a refresher, our team of professional instructors and examiners will guide you through everything you need to know before test day.

Think of us as your driving co-pilot — we’ve got your back from the first lesson all the way to your VORT pass!

What Is the VORT?

The VORT is a practical driving test that assesses your ability to safely operate a vehicle on real roads. It’s not just about knowing how to steer — it’s about showing that you can:

  • Follow road rules
  • Respond to traffic conditions
  • Demonstrate key driving maneuvers
  • Drive with safety and awareness

At Sunshine Driving Training, we prepare you not only to pass but to become a smart and confident driver for life.

VORT vs CBT: What’s the Difference?

We often get asked, “What’s better — VORT or CBT?” Great question!

  • CBT (Competency-Based Training): You get assessed over multiple lessons, and once you meet all the competencies, you’re ready to drive.
  • VORT: A single on-road test where you’re scored on specific tasks. You must pass the whole test in one go.

At Sunshine, we offer both options — but if you’re going for VORT, we’ll train you specifically for test-style conditions so there are no surprises.

What Does the VORT Include?

Here’s what you’ll be tested on during your VORT:

  • U-turns and 3-point turns
  • Reverse parallel parking
  • Angle parking
  • Stop and give way procedures
  • Lane changing and merging
  • Traffic signal response
  • Hazard perception and decision-making

Basically, you’ll be asked to prove you can handle real-life driving — and we’ll make sure you’re 100% ready.

Sunshine’s Step-by-Step VORT Preparation Program

We’ve designed a step-by-step VORT prep course that walks you through everything with clarity and care:

Step 1: Skill Evaluation

Step 2: Customized Training Plan

Your lessons are designed around the official VORT criteria, so you’re not just learning — you’re preparing to pass.

Step 3: Mock VORTs

We simulate the real test so you know exactly what to expect, including nerves and all!

Step 4: Feedback and Polishing

You get honest feedback on what to improve, and we drill down on the tricky areas until you’re confident.

We help you book your VORT when you’re ready. You can even request a male or female examiner, based on your comfort.
