About the NaTIS Code 3 Learner Exam
The Namibia NaTIS Code 3 learner's licence test is the theoretical knowledge assessment required before you may practise driving a heavy motor vehicle on a public road under a learner's licence. Administered by the Roads Authority through NaTIS centres, Code 3 applies to heavy motor vehicles (tare exceeding 3 500 kg) and related combinations, and leads toward driving-licence codes C1, C, CE1 and CE. Official eligibility starts at 18 years. Under the Road Traffic and Transport Regulations, the driving examiner must confirm that you know the rules of the road, road traffic signs, and the controls of a motor vehicle of the class applied for, via a theoretical test approved by the Minister. Application costs N$45.00 and issuing after a pass costs N$50.00. A learner's licence is valid for 18 months and requires a licensed accompanying driver. English is the primary test medium; optional local-language papers are offered at designated NaTIS centres. This free English-language four-option MCQ bank is a study adaptation aligned to that official scope — it is not an official translation, NaTIS paper, or substitute for supervised practical heavy-vehicle driving.

How much does the Code 3 learner's test cost?
According to the Roads Authority Namibia learner-licence page, the application fee is N$45.00 (includes the right to write the test) and issuing the learner's licence after a pass is N$50.00.
What is the minimum age for Code 3?

In which languages can I write the NaTIS learner's test?
English remains the primary medium. From 23 August 2021 the Roads Authority introduced written learner licence tests in local languages at NaTIS centres countrywide for applicants who are not conversant in English: Afrikaans, Khoekhoegowab (Nama/Damara), Otjiherero, Oshiwambo/Oshikwanyama, Rukwangali and Silozi.
Has the NaTIS learner's licence test gone computerised?
Partly. The Ministry of Works and Transport and the Roads Authority launched Computerised Learner Licence Testing (CLLT) together with an online Book-and-Pay system at Okahandja NaTIS in June 2026. CLLT replaces the manual written paper with a digital test that produces results immediately. Rollout to the remaining NaTIS centres is phased, so check with your centre whether you will write on paper or on screen.
Is this practice bank an official NaTIS paper?
No. This is a free English-language MCQ study adaptation aligned to the official theoretical-test scope (rules, signs, heavy-vehicle controls). It is not an official Roads Authority translation, format simulation, or copy of NaTIS items.
