A bit about me personally - My name is Rebecca Hammett, I am happily married with one teenage son, two stepsons, two dogs and a menagerie of animals. I grew up in the Hunter Valley and have lived and worked in Newcastle for last 28 years. My passions are dancing, (which I have taught adults to dance for the last 25 years), being in nature and the outdoors, exercising, motorbikes, swimming laps, scuba diving, kayaking, and having fun active holidays.


I have held a car licence for 31 years (zero fines or crashes) a motorbike licence (18 years) Boat Licence, Jet Ski Licence, PADI Open Water and Recue Diver.
 

I am a Beauty Therapist by trade of over 15 years and continue to sell skin care online.  I love to learn, study and continually to improve myself personally and professionally. To name a few qualifications (which relate to BEKA Driving School) I have attained Certificate 4 in Assessment and Workplace Training, Certificate in Occupational Studies – Small Business, Diploma in Digital Marketing, Certificate in Technology (Computer Skills).

I was looking for a change of career, so I combined my two loves, teaching and being out and about (not in a room or behind a desk) so I decided to become a driving instructor.

 

I attained my Certificate IV in Transport and Logistics in 2019 and I bravely decided to go straight into business for myself, as I like challenges, am self-driven and I like to be solely responsible for my life choices and time.

 

I also attained:
 

  • Working with Children Check.
  • Police Check.
  • First Aid Certificate.



I love my newfound job and I am very passionate about teaching students the correct skills and knowledge to drive safely. With having years of experience teaching people (to dance) who are very nervous and out of their comfort zone my first goal with my students is to make them feel as comfortable as possible and enjoy their time in the car with me so that they listen, learn, and absorb new information. 


To keep everyone safe whilst in my care is high on my priority list. You will love my 2019 Hyundai i30 which is fitted with dual brake control (meaning I have one on the passenger side), reversing camera, sensors, air conditioning and is smoke free.

 

I will teach you defensive driving techniques which will help you identify hazards and potentially hazardous situations and apply strategies to reduce or eliminate risks to keep you safe once you are out on your own.

 

As our line of work as a Driving instructor encompasses safety it makes sense to have the best Covid safe practices in place which I am meticulous about. Cleaning, hygiene, checking in and taking every precaution possible to keep my students, passengers, and myself safe; therefore, myself and my family are fully Covid 19 Vaccinated and BEKA Driving School asks that students show a certificate of double vaccination prior to their lesson please.

 

I look forward to meeting you and helping you on your driving journey.

 

Cheers

BEKA
