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.

“Excellent experience learning to drive with 1st Driving School and especially with Julian Barker as my instructor. He was very calm and patient with me learning to drive for the first time. Very professional and not strict but ensuring to be stern if performing a dangerous manoeuvre. Took 55 hours to learn from scratch and passed on my first attempt with only two minor faults so if your looking at 1st Driving School try to nab Julian!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. I was able to pass my exam 1st time with only 22 hours of lessons and I didn’t have any other car to practice at home. Ash was always pushing me to be my best and he did what he could to make me a good driver.”
“Steve was my instructor, couldn’t recommend him more. Passed my test first time with only 3 minors, within months of learning thanks to Steve. If you want to learn how to drive safely and confidently learn from Steve!”
“I really recommend Gavin as a driving instructor. He is really calm and explains things in a patient manner. He is punctual and flexible with booking in lessons. Thank you Gavin!”
