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.

“Amazing instructor, really helpful help me pass in 17 lessons. Very calm when giving lesson and helped me boost my confidence in driving. Would Recommend!!! Thank you very much!!!”
“I had a pleasure to do my driving lessons with Nasir Khan and I will definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to learn in a nice and friendly company. I've passed my test first time only because I've listened to Nasir and I know because of all he taught me I am a good and safe driver. Thank you Nasir.”
“Kev was amazing, he got my confidence up and the lessons were so enjoyable. I looked forward to driving every week with him, and he was so calm and fun to learn with. I passed first time with him, and I really could not recommend anyone more than him. If you're looking for an instructor that is super knowledgeable, but also gets you on the road having fun then Kev is your man.”
“I don't usually write reviews. I passed my test last Monday, I had Eric as my instructor and he is absolutely lovely and made me feel comfortable, he is very experienced and tries to tailor to each student's learning pace and style. He is great with letting me know about any slots that have opened up for lessons and has been excellent working around my 9-5 job. Overall I will highly recommend 1st Driving School and most certainly rooting for Eric! Thank you Eric!”
