Frequently Asked Questions

Below are the answers to many of the questions that you might have. We recognise this list is not exhaustive and welcome any questions regarding our driving school that you may have, whether its prior to booking a lesson or at any stage of the learning process. Click here for our contact information.


What do I need to start taking lessons?

A valid licence. In most cases that will be a UK provisional licence or an International licence, or in some circumstances a foreign licence which entitles the holder to 12 months permitted driving in the UK. More information can be found by looking at the DVLA official website.


Do I need to have passed my theory test before I have a lesson?

Absolutely not! We recommend you look to study for your Theory test asap but it is not essential for your practical driving lessons. You will need to have passed the Theory test before you can book your Practical driving test however.


Can I be picked up from home / work / university?

Yes of course, we may even be able to drop you off after your lesson at a different location.


Will I keep the same instructor and tuition car for all my lessons?

Yes, we believe that continuity is one of the keys to successful learning.


How long do the driving lessons last?

Our standard lessons vary between 1 , 1.5 and 2 hours, which ever suits your needs towards the timescale you have set to reach driving test standard.


When do I pay for lessons?

If you are paying as you go (one lesson at a time) then you should ensure you have the funds to pay your instructor at the start of each lesson. If you are enjoying the discount gained through a block booking then payment MUST have been made prior to the first of those lessons commencing.


How do I pay for lessons?

We accept cash and cheques. Payment for lessons should be made direct to your instructor. We can also provide gift vouchers if you are paying for someone else to learn to drive.


Do you provide weekend and evening lessons?

Yes, we recognise that some peoples lifestyles and work commitments dictate their availability for driving lessons.


If I have had lessons already with another driving school will I be forced to start again?

No, we will assess your skills and knowledge during your first lesson with us and match our level of instruction to your needs.
