3. How many driving lessons will I need to take?
​
Driving is a skill that some people learn quicker than others. The Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency states that on average a person requires approximately 44 hours of professional lessons combined with approximately 22 hours of private practice. Your instructor will monitor your progress at the end of each lesson. From this you and your driving instructor will be able to assess how near test standard you are.
​
4. How many driving lessons should I have in a week?
​
How often you have your lessons is entirely up to you. I along with many other driving schools recommend at least 1 session of 2 hours per week. The more lessons you take the quicker you will learn and the more money you will save. A 1 hour lesson taken once a week would equate to taking between 9 months to 1 year to learn to drive.
​
5. Do I need to pass the theory test before I can start lessons?
​
No. In fact it is a good idea to learn the theory whilst you are learning the practical as it can bring the subject alive making it easier to understand and remember.
​
