What should I do before I start to learn to drive?
You need to apply for a provisional driving licence. You can usually apply when you are 17 years old. If you don’t have one, click on the button below to apply.
How many lessons will i need before taking my test?
There’s no minimum or maximum number of lessons you must have done before you book and take your practical test. How many lessons you need will depend on how quickly you learn. According to DVSA, on average it takes around 45 hours of lessons to learn how to drive. On average, a complete beginner with us takes around 25-30 hours of driving and for part trained it takes around 10-20 hours of driving. We’ve also had students in the past who reached their driving goals with less then 20 hours of driving practice.
