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.

“Passed first time with Ash. Such a great experience! Ash was kind, calm and very reassuring. Would recommend him to anyone I'm so pleased.”
“A big thank you to my driving instructor, Keith Fok! I wasn’t always the most consistent learner, but Keith never lost patience with me. He always found different ways to explain and guide, and most importantly, he helped me build up my confidence in driving. With his rich knowledge and experience, I was able to pass my test on the very first attempt. I’m truly grateful for his guidance — and even happier that we’ve now become friends beyond the lessons.”
“Fantastic driving company, my instructor was the best very professional, understanding and calm. As a nervous learner this was the best decision I made. PASSED FIRST TIME. I'm still in shock today.”
“Kev is amazing! Passed first time with no faults with him as my instructor. He's so patient and helped me feel confident and stress free while driving. If you want an instructor who will be straight up and explain things again and again till you get there Kev is your guy. Will always recommend him.”
