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.

“I had Andy as my driving instructor and he was great! Very patient and helped me pass first time. He helped make sure I was confident driving and taught me all the skills needed to drive independently which have been incredibly helpful since passing. I would recommend him and 1st Driving School!!”
“I am thrilled to say I passed my driving test on the first attempt, and I know I could not have done it without Kev’s help. From the very beginning, Kev made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, which made each lesson enjoyable and stress-free. His patience, guidance, and fantastic sense of humour made all the difference — I always looked forward to our lessons. If you are looking for a driving instructor, I highly recommend Kev — you will be in great hands!”
“I took 20 hours with Faizah and passed my test! She's very professional, but also very friendly and makes you feel comfortable in the car. She's very knowledgeable and always gives little tips and tricks. She stayed patient throughout and I would recommend her highly!!! Thank you 1st driving school for directing me to Faizah.”
“My instructor was Faizah, she was patient but prompt in our lessons, they were very enjoyable and I managed to get my pass after only 12 hours of lessons! Thanks for both 1st Driving School and a special thanks to Faizah! Highly recommend.”
