  I enrolled for motorcar 3A and paid 150 at SSDC. Passed my Basic theory and aplied for PDL. I don understand is i paid 150 for just theory?
  My friend told me that practical training on road after PDL can do in private. cost cheaper. and just go take TP practical test. For me too ex to take practical session at SSDC
  
  is this how it can work?

  I dunno what motorcar 3A stands for in SSDC but hope its not class 3Auto.
  just feel that for the same amount of money...getting a class 3A license is like short-changing urself...manual drive is more useful...
  
  I did my learning at BBDC but should be the same concept...
  
  150 bucks is only for registration...theory books...theory lessons...revision trial papers...and I think got 1 last min revision class just before ur theory test...that's all.Expensive...but I think it has a higher rate of passing....1-time clear that kind...most of my friends who paid 7 bucks(now dunno what price) to TP to sit for the test....normally have to take a few times...dunno is because the centre's revision papers more up to date or what...
  
  yup...U dont have to stick with SSDC for practical....can go outside and find...cheaper by the hourly rate but there are cons also...
  
  most of the private instructors are private operators so there isnt really any standard to talk about...centre is more structured...what U need to know is written down...cannot run...cannot hide...time also cannot cheat...100mins per session means 100 mins per session...private instructors sometimes ask U to stop by the side of the road...they go kopitiam buy food...buy kopi...
  
  private instructors normally book test dates quite far away....something like 6 months away...during this time...if U finish learning early...they will pester U to go down for revision...
  
  1 point I find important is that for centre...U start every lesson with the road circuit...so U practise every lesson...but for private instructors...they only book the circuit once or twice for U....most of their learning is done outside on the road...
  
  Seriously speaking....U are going to learn how to operate a machine that may have life and death consequences...I think its important to learn it straight and proper...doesnt guarantee anything but at least U know urself U did ur best to be a safe machine operator on the road...

  the 150 is for the theory, lessons, and probably inclusive of BTT and FTT only.
  
  Practical falls under a different category, when you sigh up for full prac, inclusive of Final Assesment, it will cost you about $1500.
