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.

“Ash is a very calm and kind instructor. I got a pass on my first go thanks to him. He takes account your strengths and weaknesses and ensures you are extremely prepared for your test. Thank you so much!!”
“Kev is a fantastic instructor, a great guy. I read up on his reviews, booked my first lesson with him and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor. He really makes you feel at ease when you’re driving which helps if you’re someone who can get the nerves. His friendliness, patience and advice really gives you the confidence to push forwards and perform better for yourself. He was really straight forward and always explained things in the best way possible. I’d highly recommend him, don’t miss out! Thank you Kev!”
“Crystal and Stuart are the best they make it really easy to learn they don’t complicate it and they make sure your ready before you go for your test.”
