How many lessons will I need?
It varies for every learner. After your first session, your instructor will have a clear understanding of your confidence, your coordination and how quickly you pick things up. They’ll give you an honest estimate with no pressure or obligation.
Do you offer refresher lessons?
Yes. Refresher lessons are ideal for licensed drivers who want to rebuild confidence, improve certain skills or practise after a long break.
Do I need to pass my theory test before starting lessons?
You can begin practical lessons before passing your theory test, but you’ll need the theory certificate before booking your practical test. We can support you with theory preparation if needed.
Do you offer motorway lessons?
Yes. We offer Pass Plus and dedicated motorway sessions for new drivers who want extra support on faster, more demanding roads.
