First of all, you will need to pass your basic theory test before you can take any practical lessons. Next, you will need to pass the advance theory test before you can take the driving test with a tester. How much you need to spend will depend on your progress. The cost should be in the range of 2000+ depending on whether you are taking private lessons or signing up with a driving school. If everything goes well for you, you should be able to get a license within half a year.

It depends on whether you opt for driving lessons with a school or private instructor.
1) Go to a driving school, register yourself & apply for basic theory test = Set aside $30
- Buy a basic theory booklet, read it, go for test and pass. Like Angle said, you'll be given a PDL (provisional driving license) that allows you to go on the road for practical lessons.
2) Apply for advanced theory test = Set aside $30.
3) Book practical lessons = Set aside $80 for 1 lesson a week, means $360 for 4 lessons a month.
Most people require 25 - 30 lessons.
4) Apply for TP test = Set aside $150.

If you going for school, prepare $1500. If going for private will be cheaper.
Added: You have to take the Basic Theory Test (BTT) first. Upon passing it, you can apply for the Provisional Driving License (PDL) from Traffic Police (TP). Then with the PDL, you can start to learn driving on the road with a qualified instructor teaching you. Then in the mean time you have to take the Final Theory Test (FTT) and pass it to be able to book for the practical and final test date. Pass the final practical test, you'll get your driving license.

next u must pass the final theory test before u can take the practical test. the PDL is valid for 6 months, so u must renew every 6 months
Not only PDL is valid for 6 months, but the FTT's results is also only valid for 6 months (or 12 months? I'm not too sure). Only BTT's results are permanent. So upon passing FTT, better to hurry up and get your license before the results expire.

alleggerita and eagle how much u guys pay altogther after getting ur license? i didnt noe its tat expensive always thought its like less than 200.
so private or driving sch more cheaper? got any gd sch to intro?
anyway thanks so much
I haven't got my license yet. My final pracitcal test is on 18th June. But I can roughly calculate. I'll spend about $1,700.
Private is cheaper but takes longer because priority for BTT, FTT and final TP test goes to school students. School is faster but more expensive.
One practical lesson at CDC during off-peak hours is $59.92. For private, it's roughly about $40.
If you don't mind paying more, go for school like CDC or BBDC or SSDC. They are more organised and structured, things are easier to follow.
But if cost is of concern, then it's private FTW.

mamamamama, to me learning private is more cost saving rather than school, though i passed only on my 2nd attempt, which broke my aim of getting my license under 1k. But as compared that i got my FTT in Jan 08 and passing my 2nd attempt TP in Apr 08, I think its relatively faster than school. My first attempt was in Mar 08.
