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.

“From my experience, it was a very lovely and soothing time. My instructor, Andy, was humorous, caring, extremely helpful and made driving not only easy to learn, but fun too. I want to thank him for all his time and work as well as all instructors that do the same.”
“I had Gavin as my driving instructor. Learning to drive can be nerve-wracking, but Gavin was always kind and his friendly manner made it a really positive experience. He explained everything so well and always focused on how I could improve without ever making me feel discouraged.”
“I passed my driving test first time thanks to Kevin! I started as a very nervous driver but Kevin was incredibly patient and consistently kind. He always supported me and transformed me into a confident driver. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”
“I had Faizah as my instructor, she is an excellent high quality teacher that even when I was nervous she was able to calm me down and give me exceptional solution when driving and taught me new skills when by myself. I would high recommend her as an instructor and 1st Driving School especially if your a first time driver.”
