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 cash on the day with your driving instructor or pre-pay on our website 24 hours before your lesson and save money.

“After having a bad experience with an instructor I switched to 1st Driving School and got a helpful and kind instructor who tried to help me in anyway to ensure that I passed.”
“Adiel Khan was a brilliant instructor who helped me get used to the UK roads after driving in the UAE for a long time. His advice was very beneficial and I even managed to add tips and tricks to my driving skills even after 3 years of driving. I would highly recommend him and 1st Driving School to anyone of any skill level.”
“Rafhat, is an outstanding instructor. He was patient and gave me great tips to ace the test. I passed the test without any minor infraction which is a plus for the training standards maintained by Rafhat.”
“Rafhat was a very friendly instructor! Helped me keep my nerves down and pushed me on, helped me to make sure I was ready to move onto the next thing and prepared me really well for my test! Highly recommend!!”
