About Driver Education
In New Zealand, you and Uber have certain legal
obligations to ensure that every trip is safe and
welcoming. To make sure you are aware of these
obligations, we’re working with a third-party provider
to introduce new driver safety education.
❏ There are six learning modules that cover
topics of safety, harassment, discrimination,
disability, impairment and vehicle
maintenance.
❏ You’ll be required to watch a series of videos
and answer some short questions after
each.
❏ It will take approximately 30 minutes to
complete. You do not have to complete all of
the learning modules at once
Thanks for signing up
to drive with us.
What’s next?
We’ll be in touch as soon as your documents have been processed
to let you know the outcome—usually, this takes 1–3 working days.
