"How many lessons will I need before I can take my practical test?"

 

Everyone is different and learn at different rates. There is no set number of driving lessons you must have before sitting your practical test.

 

 

 

"Can anyone teach me how to drive?"

 

The Driving Standards Agency strongly recommends that you take lessons from an Approved Driving Instructor such as myself. Learning with someone who is not qualified will lead to you picking up their bad habits.

 

 

 

"Do you provide Refresher Courses for Qualified Drivers?"

 

Of course, it’s up to you. Most new drivers benefit from this and it builds their confidence.

 

 

 

"Can I begin my driving tuition before I have passed the theory test?"

 

Yes. It’s a good idea to take practical lessons whilst studying for your theory as both works hand in hand and this will help you to remember and understand the questions which may arise in the theory test.

 

 

 

"Do you teach Pass Plus?"

 

Yes, Pass Plus is designed to improve your driving skills such as driving at night, driving in bad weather, and driving on motorways. There is no pass or fail with this course however you will benefit greatly from lower insurance premiums (up to 35% off)  when you complete the Pass Plus course.

 

 

 

"How many lessons does it take to pass ?"

 

There is no set number of driving lessons you must have before sitting your practical test. However, those who pass their driving test have had, on average, about 45 hours of professional training, combined with 22 hours of private practice. Candidates who combine professional instruction with private practice are also more successful on the test.
