Declaration of Support from Employer prior registration

Work pass holders holding a Class 3C/3CA licence must obtain official employer support before enrolling in the Class 4/4P driving course. Employers are required to submit a declaration via FormSG using their CorpPass. Upon successful submission, the Traffic Police will advise the employer on the subsequent steps for registering for the Class 3C/3CA Road Assessment.

Area of road assessment

The road assessment evaluates the participants’ overall competency to drive a Class 3/ 3A motor car in actual traffic conditions. Examiners assess key competencies including basic vehicle control (mirror checks, signalling, speed control, positioning), junction navigation, interaction with other road users, and adherence to traffic rules.

The road assessment operates on a point system where serious mistakes result in immediate failure, while minor errors accumulate points. To pass, candidates must demonstrate smooth, systematic driving and show they can safely handle various road situations and follow traffic rules.

Upon passing the road assessment, participants can enrol for the Class 4/ 4P driving course (depending on the selection in FormSG) at our Service Centre during operating hours. Enrolment can only be done 5 working days after passing the Class 3/ 3CA Road Assessment. The enrolment fee will be waived, but other fees apply.
