The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) recommend 44 hours of professional lessons to pass a driving test, everyone learns at their own pace so this is only an average figure.
Your lessons can be one, one and a half or two hours long depending on your availability and your driving instructors.
Automatic vehicles are easier to learn in and if you have a disability or limited mobility they will probably be the best choice for you. However if you pass your driving test in an automatic vehicle your licence will only allow you to drive an automatic, if you pass your driving test in a manual vehicle you are legally allowed to drive manual and automatic.
No you can start your driving lessons before passing your theory test, all of our pupils have free access to the app "Theory Test Pro" to help you practice for the theory exam.
You can pay through our website or if you prefer you can pay your instructor direct by cash or bank transfer.

“Sandor was amazing at teaching me to drive. Passed my test within 5 months of lessons with no prior experience and is very patient! Thank you!”
“Quick service and friendly customer service staff. My instructor immediately contacted me and set dates for my lessons. Tony is an amazing instructor! I passed first time and I think I couldn't make it without his passionate and comprehensive teaching. He is very professional and kind. He covers my driving weaknesses with lots of practice and knowledge which eventually turned into my strength. Highly recommended and deserved to be given more than 5 stars!”
“Could not recommend this driving school enough and more specifically my driving instructor Julian Barker! He has nothing short of amazing when it came to providing a stress and anxiety free environment when driving. He’s such a professional and helped me passed my test first time round with zero driving faults.”
“Crystal Johnson, thank you for being the best instructor ever! With your guidance and patience you taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciated your encouragement.”
