Before diving into the course details, let’s clarify the jargon. A PDVL is mandatory for driving a private hire car (Grab, Gojek, Ryde, TADA) in Singapore. Unlike a taxi license (TDVL), the PDVL is tailored for ride-hailing platforms.

A "fix" refers to rectifying a suspended, revoked, or expired license. The most common reasons drivers need a refresher course for PDVL fix include:

The LTA does not simply "renew" a problematic license. You must undergo a structured intervention: the PDVL Refresher Course.


There are two courses: PDVL Initial (for new drivers) and PDVL Refresher (for existing drivers). Booking the initial course will not lift your suspension. Double-check the course code.

Your PDVL operates on a 24-month rolling demerit point system. Each traffic or vocational offence carries points (e.g., using a mobile phone while driving: 13 points; picking up passengers illegally: 8 points). Once you hit 20 demerit points within 24 months, your licence is automatically suspended for 31 days. To reinstate it after the suspension, you must complete the refresher course.
