Q:What will I do on my first lesson?

There really is no need for you to have any worries. If you have never sat behind the wheel of a car your instructor certainly won't expect you to get in and drive at the start of the first lesson.

He will drive you to a quieter area and explain in easy stages what the various controls of the car do and how you use them. You will then make a start yourself. Your first practical task will very likely be to make the car move off and stop again a little way down the road. There are techniques to learn about all of the car's controls: the clutch, gears, brakes , steering wheel etc. You will learn the techniques in easy stages and will not be expected to take in everything at once!

Q: How many lesson will I need?

The answer is always difficult but will depend on any road experience you already have, cycling and motorcycle experience can help but above all - it's the dedication you give to your lessons and any aptitude you may have. If you are a new learner driver and you are wondering how many hours of lessons you will need before your test, and how much it will cost - Driving Standards Agency research shows that about 45 hours of professional training plus additional practice provides the best chance of passing.(however most of our pupils pass within 31 hours)

Q: How will I know when I'm ready for my test?

Your instructor will be the most likely person who will be able to gauge when you are ready for your test. Progress reports are given at the end of each lesson so that you will know yourself how much progress you have made..
