You need to have your Provisional Driving Licence.

The Provisional Licence is £43.00 by post, on line it is £34.00. You can apply at www.gov.uk/driving-licence-fees or by completing Form D1 from the DVLA or the Post Office who offer a premium checking service. There is No cost to change to a Full Driving licence, when you pass your practical driving test.

No, not at all, in fact it is beneficial to do both at the same, as they help each other.

Intensive Or ‘Crash’ Courses

• The wait time for a Theory Test is 1-2 weeks
• You cannot book the Practical Test without the Theory Certificate
• The wait time for a Practical Test is 6-8 weeks

• You may be purchasing more lessons than you require and therefore spending more money than is necessary
• You may be booking less lessons than you need and arriving on test day underprepared
• You run the risk of having to rebook another test
• As a result you might have to wait a few months for your next test incurring more cost

Many students and their parents start the selection process by asking “How much is a one-hour lesson”?

Let’s explore the lesson length first.

With years of experience we find that taking a 2-hour lesson every week, proves to be a more successful strategy for most students.

You will learn far more and you will also be test ready in half the time. You will have a decent amount of condensed learning in one go with time to digest and be focused for your next lesson. Sometimes students think that they would be unable to concentrate for a period of two hours, but this is why we would ‘chunk’ your lessons and break up the two hour slot to cover several topics, just as they do in the school curriculum to keep the learning fresh and focused.

Just to be clear and give you a balanced view, there is nothing wrong with 1-hour or 1 and a half hour lessons, we just feel that they offer less value as they prolong the learning period substantially. Another drawback is having to take time from your lesson to drive to a suitable location that is relevant to cover the topic and then having to drive back again.

Taking regular weekly lessons has proven success as it provides continuity, the retention of knowledge and it will reduce your learning period. It would be worth asking during your initial enquiry if your lessons could be booked in advance for a regular weekly slot.

Not all Driving Schools or Driving Instructors will allow you to book lessons in advance and many make bookings from week to week. This can be frustrating for students as there is no guarantee that the lesson slot will be available and it’s one of the reasons that students change their Instructor.

Hopefully, I have been able to enlighten you as to why driving lesson prices vary enormously and explain why Driving Instructors are not all the same.
