The Class 4 learner licence. 
All you have to do is go and pay for your Class 4 learner licence at a driver licencing agency e.g. AA (there is no road code test this time) 
NO WAIT TIME: Once you have got a Class 4 learner licence, you can book one of our NZTA approved Class 4 courses straight away. 
You must take with you a medical certificate, unless you have had one in the last 5 years for driver licencing and your health hasn't changed. The certificate must be less than 60 days old (we advise that you do not get this until just before you are ready to book in at the AA).   Along with your proof of identification
