The number of driving lessons required to pass the UK practical driving test varies from one individual to another. However, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) advises that the average learner typically requires approximately 45 hours of professional instruction, in addition to around 22 hours of private practice. While some learners may achieve test readiness with fewer hours, others—particularly those who lack confidence or require additional support—may need 60 hours or more of training.

You can book via our website, message us directly, or call/text. We’ll confirm your slot as soon as possible.

You can begin your driving journey at age 17. To legally drive on public roads, you’ll just need to ensure you have a valid provisional licence, are accompanied by a qualified supervising driver, and are behind the wheel of a properly insured and roadworthy vehicle.

Your safety is our priority. Before your first lesson, please ensure you meet the legal eyesight requirements: reading a number plate from 20 metres away. If you use corrective lenses to meet this standard, they must be worn during all lessons. You can find further guidance on the minimum standards and your responsibilities toward the DVLA

Keep an eye on the clock! Once you pass your theory test, you have a two-year window to pass your practical exam. To avoid having to retake the theory test, we recommend booking your practical as soon as you’re ready within that timeframe.

• Identification: A valid identity document, such as your passport.

• Address History: Your full address history for the past three years.

• Age: You must be at least 15 years and 9 months old.

• Residency: You must have permission to live in Great Britain for at least 185 days.

• Eyesight: You must be able to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres.”

o get on the road, you must be at least 17 years old and hold a valid provisional driving licence. You’ll also need to be accompanied by a driver who meets the legal supervision requirements, and the vehicle must be road-legal—which includes clearly displaying ‘L’ plates at the front and rear.
