I have already ordered my provisional licence though?

Fantastic, head to the contact us page and get in touch! We look forward to hearing from you

Are driving lessons just for learners?

No, after passing their driving test many full licence holders can experience a period of time without driving. As a result confidence can be lost and therefore refresher lessons can be delivered in a safe environment with minimal stress.

When should I book my theory test?

Start studying for your theory test straight away! It is a frequent occurrence for learners to delay their theory test, this can cost you money further down your learner journey if you have to “tick over” on your lessons until you pass your theory and book your practical test. As soon as you have completed mock test and feel confident with your results book your theory test. Type in your search engine “Book theory test”, follow the instructions on the government website www.gov.uk, a fee will apply to book your test

What theory revision guides should I buy?

You can download free/chargeable apps to your smartphone. Feel free to enquire about the ones we recommend!

How do I go about booking my practical driving test?

If you are using your own car we strongly advise you go onto www.gov.uk and check your car meets the requirements as you could have your test refused. If you are not sure feel free to enquire! If you are happy to use a school car then make sure you speak to your instructor before booking your test as they may not be available. Remember! You will need to pay the instructor a fee to use their car as well as paying for your driving test.

How many lessons will I need?

This is completely dependent on numerous factors;

• You – Are you a confident or a nervous person? Nervous learners will take more time to become independent at some topics compared to more confident learners.

• Lesson duration – Depending on where you live can have an effect on the travel time to the lesson ground. Whilst every effort is made to maximise your time behind the wheel, safety is a priority when it comes to what level of ability you have compared to the hazards at the chosen lesson ground. I.e. If you haven’t been on roundabouts before, would you prefer to travel five minutes and start on a massive roundabout or travel ten minutes to a quiet one?

• Frequency of lessons – Some learners can feel a little rusty having one session a week. Two lessons a week can have a greater impact on the learning process as it would be “fresh” in the mind

• Personal life – If you have a hectic and busy lifestyle you’re more likely to be fatigued and therefore concentration levels are lower thus slowing down the ability to absorb information

What shall I expect on my first lesson?

A warm friendly greeting! As well as this you will be introduced to the car and the controls, we will ask a series of questions to determine a benchmark and go from there.

Can I learn to drive privately alongside my driving lessons with an instructor?

Yes! Once you feel confident, take a family member out to accompany you and practice what you have been learning in your lessons. This will help save time and money. Just make sure they are over the age of 21 AND have held their licence for 3 years or more. The car you use must have L plates clearly displayed on the front and back as well as being taxed and insured to have you driving it. Feel free to enquire or visit www.gov.uk for more information.

What car will I be driving?

A Ford Fiesta ST, with dual controls of course!
