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.

“I started having lessons with Andrew after more then 10 years away from driving and found him to be very professional and calming throughout my lessons Andrew was very knowledgeable and put me at ease, to be honest I couldn't have wished for a better instructor. Massive 5 star review. Thank you so much!”
“Tony was a great instructor - takes the time to show you everything and thinks about the learner individually, not just 'ticking off' what you'll be tested on. Great bloke, he's to thank for only getting one minor on my test and passing first time!”
“A big thank you to Kev for helping me pass my driving test. Loved every driving lesson with Kev, he’s got so much patient and is always there to help with my worries about driving. He made me feel comfortable from the first day I had my driving lesson. Always reliable, 100% recommend Kev. I’ll miss my driving lessons and the laugh and chats we had, Kev your the best.”
“Couldn’t rate Libby John from 1st Driving School enough! She put me completely at ease after putting off driving for so long. I have recommended her to so many people already. I looked forward to every lesson, progressed at my speed and built so much confidence driving! She is such an amazing person, I will miss our lessons! Passed first time with one minor, can’t thank Libby enough. If you want to pass your test go with Libby!!!”
