  From what I know...there is no direct conversion per se...have to take the Class 3 practical  and pass....the problem is the Basic and Advanced theory...dunno have to take them again or not.

  The only good thing about having a Class 3A licence before a Class 3 is the experience in handling a vehicle...how to turn corners,how to judge distance...etc...so the learning curve for Class 3 is not as steep.

  ya...but we are not sure if his sister's FTT expired...if still valid...might not need to retake it for Class 3 again....even if FTT expired...dunno can still use the BTT result for Class 3 FTT booking...

  I also a bit lost here...cos I needed to take RTT even though I have Class 3...and RTT is quite similar to BTT...with the road signs,traffic police hand signals and all...quite a waste of time and effort if U ask me...

  true...I can agree with that....hopefully the sister wants her Class 3 soon after the Class 3A....so not that much bad habits to correct....

  FTT valid for 3years, BTT valid for life. Therefore if your sis FTT passing date is within 3years, she dont have to retake, other then that, must retake.

   

  Pratical and learning of Class3 manual car is a need, will take about 20-30 lessons depending on your sis speed. That's all. Registeration fees etc applies
