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.

“A huge thank you to Julian for helping me pass my test first time i could not recommend him enough. He is extremely patient, calm and kind, for a first time driver I think he would make the best instructor. l started with 1st Driving School with zero experience and after a few lessons I began to feel confident and gain good knowledge of the roads, this is all thanks to Julian.”
“This is a fantastic driving school that I'd highly recommend for anyone that's looking to drive. I'd been with 2 other schools before this one and failed my test. But as soon as I came to this school within the first few lessons I was already feeling like a better driver as my instructor Crystal corrected all my bad habits and made me extremely confident on the roads, in a short amount of time. I passed my test with only 3 minors and I'm very grateful for the guidance my instructor provided throughout my lessons and leading up to my test. If you want to learn to drive I'd definitely start here.”
“I passed my test first time, thanks to my instructor Usman Qadir. He was an excellent instructor, had great knowledge of the test area, and was patient and encouraging when I made mistakes.”
“Did my lessons with Kev and have to say he’s amazing. Really chill, patient and taught me everything there is to know about driving. I just overall felt comfortable with him because he’s so easy to talk to and understands you’re only a learner. I’d recommend him to any person looking to learn to drive 100%.”
