How many hours will it take?

In the UK people usually take somewhere between 30 and 60 hours to learn to drive.

How many lessons you need will depend upon your motivation and aptitude for driving, whether you have had any relevant past experience, and whether or not you can obtain any supplementary practice between lessons with a relative or friend. The above courses are therefore only a guide to what hours you might need based on the circumstances outlined. It is not a guarantee that you will be ready for the test; this will depend on your individual progress.

The best way to learn to drive

The best way to learn to drive is to take regular lessons spread over a few weeks on a semi-intensive basis. Pupils using the ‘‘one-lesson-a-week’’ approach often take many months to learn to drive. While this helps to spread out the cost you do end up paying more in the long run. This is because you often forget what you have learnt from one week to the next . You end up taking two steps forward and one step back. Consequently, you take many more lessons to pass the test. If you are taking just one -lesson-a-week you would need to increase the hours you need to learn to drive by at least 50%. Therefore if on a semi-intensive basis you need 30 hours to learn to drive it is likely that you would need 45 hours on a one lesson per week basis. This is the real reason why so many driving instructors encourage their pupils to take just one lesson a week and avoid doing intensive or semi-intensive courses. However, if you are able to get any supplementary practice with a relative or friend who is over 21 years old and has been driving for more that 4 years they can supervise you and this can help to reduce the amount of hours that you require to pass your test. Again this supplementary practice helps to overcome the problem of taking too long and paying more than you need as a consequence of only taking one lesson per week.

One Week intensive Course

(30 hours of driving lessons and the driving test)

The One Week intensive Course usually starts on Sunday or Monday and finishes on Friday. It is for those individuals who need to pass more quickly, who could not otherwise find the time. The driving test would usually be organised to take place at the end of the week or during the following week depending on your personal preference. If you want a test at the end of the course you would need to book the course and pass the theory test well in advance of the required start date ( at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance). However, occasionally we can arrange a short notice driving test

The in-car training provided is 30 hours on a one pupil to one instructor basis. Price £670.00
