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.

“I passed my test with Gavin today best instructor out there. He helped me a lot with my nerves . I would recommend Gavin to anyone that needs to pass their test first time.Thank you Gavin.”
“Best teacher ever, Faizah. Absolutely amazing, my instructor was kind, informative, encouraging and gave amazing feedback. Lessons where done with care and attention to where I needed them to be, nothing was left outstanding when it came time for my driving test. I passed with the first try with only 25 hours of lessons done. It wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of my instructor with their clear and encouraging advice and hard work. ”
“Kev is an amazing instructor and just a generally very laid back and friendly guy. He really helped to build my confidence by being patient and explaining things clearly and making sure I was fully prepared for my test. I would definitely recommend Kev to any learner looking for an instructor.”
“Ash is a very calm and kind instructor. I got a pass on my first go thanks to him. He takes account your strengths and weaknesses and ensures you are extremely prepared for your test. Thank you so much!!”
