Our lessons are based on 60 minutes of tuition.
Occasionally lessons may run slightly over at no additional cost.
We believe 60-minute lessons are the most effective, as they allow you time to absorb and practise the information covered.
How many lessons will I need?
The DVSA recommends an average of 60 hours of professional tuition.
However, this varies from person to person, as everyone learns at a different pace.
Your instructor will guide you based on your individual progress.

BEFORE YOU START
What will I need?
Before starting your driving journey, you must have a Provisional Driving Licence.
This can be obtained by completing:
Form D1
Photo card application D750
These forms are available from Post Offices and must be sent to:
DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1AD
Age requirements
17 years old, or
16 years old if you receive the higher rate of mobility allowance
Eyesight & medical requirements
You must be able to read a car number plate at 20 metres (66 feet)
Glasses or contact lenses must be worn if required
You must be medically fit to drive
If you have a medical condition, declare it honestly on your application.
This does not automatically prevent you from driving, but failure to declare it could result in losing your licence later – even after passing your test.
