What is the difference between a learner's license and a operator's licence

Also, with a learner's license/permit, you must have a licensed driver in the vehicle with you when you operate the vehicle.

A learner's license, like the name suggest (learner), you are just beginning to drive and are "learning" the basics of the car.

For a operator's license, you can drive on your own, you have the knowledge and skills and have taken the required courses and passed them.
