Our main concern is to teach you a skill for life - not just to pass your test ....

Make sure that you choose a Driving Standards Agency Approved Driving Instructor by asking to see the certificate bearing his or her photograph, this should be current and displayed in the car.
Do not be fooled by the strings of initials after the names of some instructors, these often refer to organisations or associations.
The wrong choice may mean failed tests, driving tests cost £62.00 so failed tests with more lessons increase costs.

Ask around and go to an instructor or school recommended to you.

Quality V Price

Quality varies more than price, so when you are comparing the cost per lesson think about how many lessons you may need.

For example, 30 lessons at £24 each are £720. While 50 lessons at £20 are £1000

Remember too that some prices quoted may be per hour whilst others may be 45-minute lessons. Avoid instructors who call for clients with the previous one in the car. You may waste between 15 and 40 minutes of valuable lesson time driving the previous client home and picking the next one up, which increases your costs even more! The total lessons required will vary according to age, aptitude and amount of practise you receive. Most people need between one and a half lessons for each year of their age. Normally you will need fewer lessons overall if you take two or three a week.

Your instructor should have all your details and keep a record of your progress each lesson, if they fail to keep records of your progress it will cost you money covering what you have already been taught.

Theory Test Practice

We suggest  that before you start learning to drive you should take some time to read the highway code, This will give you and some knowledge about the road procedures used. We would also suggest that you start studying for your theory test there are some good products out there to help you with this, because when you start learning drive and your Instructor thinks you are quite competent we may apply for a practical test. if you are struggling with your theory test revision your Instructor will help you

The Practical test

The safest way to learn is with an Approved Driving Instructor. At first you will learn within your local area so that you are in familiar surroundings then nearer your test date your would go to your test centre town to familiarise yourself with test routes used and the road systems that you may expect to see in a large town
