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.

“After switching driving instructors a few months ago, I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to learn with Adiel. He helped me to increase my confidence driving, and taught me not only howto ‘pass’ the test, but also how to be a better and safer driver more generally. Every lesson was also filled with laughter, super enjoyable and funny experience all the way!! I passed first time with only three minors. Thank you Adiel”
“From start to finish, the service was Top Notch. I would not have passed my driving test without the help of my amazing instructor - Dan Evans. Despite my shortcomings, he remained extremely professional and polite. He patiently ensured I learnt what I needed to. Dan is a very nice guy. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to pass their driving test first time. Thank you 1st driving school! Thank you Dan Evans.”
“I can't thank my instructor Eric enough for always being so patient and calm with me, always explaining what I got wrong when I made mistakes and what I needed to work on. He was very punctual and reliable. I had a great experience learning to drive safely. I passed my driving test first time with 1 minor and would definitely recommend him.”
“Best teacher ever!! Passed first time with 2 minors and this was all thanks to kev! He really built my confidence driving, cant recommend enough!”
