FAQs

Q. How long will it take, and how many lessons will I need?

A. That will depend on a number of things, such as the frequency of lessons. Some people learn faster than others, people who have some experience such as riding mopeds or having driven off road will learn quicker than someone who has no experience. The Driving Standards Agency statistics suggest on average around 45 hours tuition are required to pass the test. Pupils who take 2 or more hours per weak usually progress quicker. Pupils with Bartholomews have passed in as little as 15 hours but that would be the exception, more realistic is around 35 hours for beginners.

Q. What do I need to take with me to my lessons?

A. Have both parts of your licence and be wearing any contact lenses or glasses if required. Wear a comfortable pair of shoes, no high heals and shoes with thick soles should be avoided.

Q. Can you collect me from work or home?

A. Yes, You can be collected at work or home or any pre arranged location if it is agreed before the lesson. The finish point of the lesson need not be the same as the pickup provided it is agreed at the beginning of the lesson.

Q. When can I take my Test?

A. When you are able to drive in all traffic conditions without being told what to do by your instructor, then you should be ready to do the test.

Q. Hourly driving lessons, or an intensive course?

A. The advantage of an intensive course is that it’s all done in a relatively short space of time, with the test at the end. However, if you have a full time job, or college to attend, you might find a few hours a week more suitable. Contact us if you need advice and to discuss your exact requirements.
