The workshop will be in the Starlight Room of the Dubbo RSL Club and is designed for those who supervise learner drivers.
The workshop aims to equip supervisors of young drivers better to assist their learner driver in gaining the 120 hours of logbook driving required for the Graduated Licensing Scheme.
Parents and supervisors of local learner drivers are encouraged to attend the workshop which will commence at 6pm.
The workshop will offer parents and supervisors hands-on advice on how to provide the most effective driving practice for learner drivers.
Organiser Jenny short says it is important to provide supervisors with the skills to best deal with difficult situations that may arise with a learner driving.
"The workshop aims to give support to the parents and supervisors," Ms Short said.
"We find that it's the supervisors who need the support the most. It's a big deal for parents to be able to find those 120 hours required for learner drivers.
"And young people need the experience.
"Just like riding a bike or baking a cake, it is essential for learners to get the practice they need to get better.
"It will also offer practical advice on how to best help learner drivers to become safer drivers."
The workshop covers the licencing system, how to use the Learner Driver Logbook including the use of digital logbooks, licence conditions for learner and P-plate drivers, the benefits of on-road driving sessions, tips on supervising a learner driver and more.
Parents/supervisors who have attended this workshop in the past have said they found it to have boosted their confidence, helped them better plan driving sessions and allowed them to share their experiences with other parents/supervisors.
Light refreshments will be available during the workshop for guests.
