Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview for both learners and examiners of
the Computerised Learners Licence Test (CLLT). An applicant who has a learners licence
test appointment is eligible to take a learners licence test. The test is administered via the
use of computer touch screens, which facilitates the capturing of tests results to the eNaTIS
data centre.
The system will randomly select sixty four (64) questions for the applicable test for each
applicant terminal from a database of 1200 questions. The questions will be temporarily
downloaded to the test terminal. After the test has ended, the questions will be deleted from
the memory of the terminal. The answers for the questions, together with the test result is
processed and validated via the eNaTIS.
To prepare for the test, applicants are advised to use the manuals available on the internet.
The address where to find it is: www.enatis.com. Go to Downloads and then click Learner
Driver Manual. There are three files, and preparation for the learners licence test must be
made using information found on all three files. Each file contains specifically categorised
information.

Logging onto the system


The incumbent preparing to take the test must have a valid Learners Licence appointment,
i.e. the person has been identified, an eye test was performed, the application fee was paid
and a booking date was confirmed.

The applicant will present his/her booking confirmation/receipt of application


together with his/her ID on the test appointment date.

The examiner will compare the applicant before him/her with the photo of the
applicant that appears in his/her ID book.

The applicant will be allowed to enter the test room and will be directed to a terminal
by the examiner.

The applicant will use his/her ID number to log in.

The system will validate the ID entry and indicate if a valid booking exists for the
specific date and code.

The examiner will brief the applicants, providing explicit instructions. This will
include being talked through the demo test. The test proper and the post-test
procedures are also discussed before commencement of the test.

Computerised Learners Licence Guide

The test proper will start after the briefing session (a predetermined time period is
allowed for the examiner to complete the applicant briefing).

Categories of test questions

The categories on which an applicant will be evaluated for the requirements of a learners licence
are: the rules of the road, road signs and the motor vehicle controls. The table below provides a
breakdown of the number of questions per category as well as the minimum requirement for a
pass.

demo has started, the language may not be changed.

options translated into English. The translation option is however only available for one question at a time.

the question and answers to English is not available in the demo.

Troubleshooting
The following section of the document addresses some of the problems that could be
experienced in a CLLT classroom, and provides some basic troubleshooting guidelines.

11.1 Power failure

In the event of a power failure, the UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) continues to
power the CLLT PC for a period of 2 hours. Should the power failure continue
longer than 2 hours, the UPS will then switch off, removing power to the CLLT PCs.

If a power failure interrupts a test the examiner must, on his/her discretion,


determine additional time.

If a power failure occurs prior to the commencement of a test, it is advisable to


reschedule the test as a precautionary measure, due to the limitations of the UPS.

Computerised Learners Licence Guide

P a g e | 21

11.2 Power returns

Once power is returned, the UPS needs to be switched on. Press and hold the On
button. A light indicates if it is on, depending on the model of the UPS. Note that
there is a trip switch at the back. There is no indicator on the UPS showing the level
of charging. The Call Centre can be contacted to verify information on the charge
level of the UPS.

Once the UPS is on, all CLLT PCs should automatically be switched on. They will
connect to the production environment and display the CLLT start page. Please
ensure that the UPS is allowed to recharge for at least an hour (should there have
been a power outage), before starting the next test. It takes the UPS up to 8 hours
to fully recharge.

If the CLLT start page still does not display, turn off the CLLT PC power at the DB
(Distribution Box), and turn the power on again (note that each circuit breaker
powers 3 PCs).

The examiner should ensure that all CLLT PCs display the CLLT start page before
a test session is initiated.

If the CLLT start page is not displaying on the CLLT PC, there should be a message
on the screen stating Unable to connect. Press the Try Again button displayed on
the screen.

11.3 Workstation freezes

If a workstation freezes, the examiner may reboot the PC that has frozen. The
session of the applicant will be restored after the re-boot and the applicant will be
allowed to continue with the test. The applicants test time must be adjusted
accordingly.
PC Re-boot procedure is explained below:

11.4 The applicant could not finish the test

In the event where an applicant could not finish the test due to illness during the
test, the examiner must perform transaction 726 and mark the test as Deferred.
The applicant will be reissued with a new test appointment.

11.5 The applicant was absent on the day of the test

Where the applicant did not present himself on the day of the test, the examiner
must perform transaction 726 and mark the applicant as Absent.
The decision to reschedule the applicants test appointment or to request the
applicant to make another booking, for which he/she will make payment, is done
solely at the discretion of the examiner, based on the evidence provided by the
applicant.

11.6 The applicant has a valid reason for being absent


In the event where the applicant has a valid reason for being absent the following steps
must be followed:
Perform transaction 728. This will change the status of the test result into a state of
Test pending.
Transaction 708 can then be performed to reschedule the applicant. Take note that
the two transactions must be performed on the same day.
