Common questions

What are the requirements to begin learning to drive?

You need to be at least 17 years old and hold a valid provisional licence.

What can I expect during my first driving lesson?

Your instructor will check your licence and your eyesight by asking you to read a number plate from about 20 metres. The first lesson is usually two hours, which gives you time to get comfortable with the car and its controls, and to cover starting, stopping and basic manoeuvres.

Can I start driving lessons before passing my theory test?

Yes, and we recommend it. Practical experience makes the theory easier to understand, and studying for the theory test makes your lessons more productive. The two reinforce each other.

How many lessons will I need?

It varies — everyone learns at their own pace. The DVSA estimates most learners need around 35 to 40 hours of tuition before they are ready for the test. If you find yourself needing more than 50, your instructor can help identify what is holding you back.

How long should each lesson be?

We have found two-hour lessons far more productive than one-hour ones. Each lesson has a briefing, a settling-in period, the main teaching, then a recap — two hours lets you cover considerably more ground. Longer sessions suit some learners, and we will advise based on how you are getting on.

Is there a cancellation fee for changing or rescheduling a lesson?

Cancellation charges apply unless you give us at least 24 hours notice before your lesson.
