Lisa, kinda gather it's a NSW thing only as it's not done here either. Here you sit the course and ride off into the sunset same day with your learners.
A good mate will bail you out of jail, a true mate will be sitting in the cell next to you saying "Damn, we fucked up!!!"

maybe we r still in hicksville but we dont even have to do a course. you walk in pay $50, answer 15 question( dont have to get them all right) and you have your learners.
than go learn how to ride and book your test.
you can get your learners then the next day sit your test. pretty easy compared :)

The pre-learners course in NSW is designed to give you the skills to survive your first few weeks on the road. It is run over a weekend, two half day sessions, and is designed for people who have never ridden a bike before.

The day starts with you sitting on a non-running bike and being pushed around the range. In time you learn how to start the bike, use the gearbox and clutch, and negotiate basic turns. You are also trained in *very basic* roadcraft.

Having completed your pre-learners course you are eligible to sit a computer-based knowledge exam; the successful completion of both will earn you a learners permit.

More info available on the NSW RTA Website

ok run down

pre learners is a 2 day course where you learn how to mount a bike, start a bike, set teh bike up for take off, " ready position", learn how to move teh bike, stop teh bike, corner, change gears, emergency brake, indicate and change lanes, head checks, and soem other useless stuff whici i cant remember and i only did it 3 montsh ago.

u sit in a room for about 1 hours and go over buffering and reading road conditions.

then sit a computer test 45 multiple choice questions

tehn withing 3-6 months you sit a full day p's test

basicly a way to educate people how to ride safely
