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.

“Couldn’t have done it without Usman Baig, lovely gentleman who made me very comfortable and confident in my driving!”
“I had a really great experience with Steve as my driving instructor, honestly such a lovely person and he was so patient with me at all times and never once made me feel discouraged or as if I wasn’t capable. He always believed in me and boosted my confidence right up until the day of my test. A big thank you again to Steve!”
“I cannot recommend 1st Driving School enough - Andy is an absolute credit to the team and I could not of passed without him. He had the patience of a saint and had faith in me at times where I didnt have faith in myself. I suffer with anxiety and Andy positively pushed me to be the confident driver that I am today. Forever grateful to you Andy!!”
“I recently passed my driving test and would like to thank Michael Harmer for the fantastic lessons and support. After feeling nervous before the test, I was astounded by how confident and relaxed I was during it, and I can only thank Michael for that confidence. They were patient and I would recommend him to any learner driver, especially those interested in football.”
