The DVSA suggests 45 hours of professional lessons plus 22 hours of private practice. The amount of hours needed can alter up or down, based on learning pace, level of experience and confidence.

We offer flexible lesson lengths to suit your needs, though two-hour sessions are often the most productive. These longer blocks provide more practice time, leading to better skill retention and faster progress. They also allow us to reach a wider variety of roads, such as dual carriageways and complex junctions, which can be difficult to cover in shorter slots. However, one-hour or 90-minute lessons are also a great option if you prefer shorter periods of focus or need to fit your training around a specific schedule or budget.

Each person’s needs will be assessed on the first lesson. New learners won’t drive immediately. Instead, we’ll take our time to show you the basics. You’ll learn how to set up the car—like moving your seat and mirrors so you’re comfortable—and we’ll walk you through all the controls, including the pedals and gears. This 'slow and steady' start is all about helping you get used to the car without any pressure. Once you feel happy with how everything works, we’ll help you start driving for the first time at a pace that suits you
