The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) recommend 44 hours of professional lessons to pass a driving test, everyone learns at their own pace so this is only an average figure.
Your lessons can be one, one and a half or two hours long depending on your availability and your driving instructors.
Automatic vehicles are easier to learn in and if you have a disability or limited mobility they will probably be the best choice for you. However if you pass your driving test in an automatic vehicle your licence will only allow you to drive an automatic, if you pass your driving test in a manual vehicle you are legally allowed to drive manual and automatic.
No you can start your driving lessons before passing your theory test, all of our pupils have free access to the app "Theory Test Pro" to help you practice for the theory exam.

“My instructor Usman Qadir has been brilliant. I am a very anxious driver but Usman has always lead with a supportive, encouraging and patient approach. He would ensure to explain and brake things down for me to clearly understand them. Any areas that would need improvements he would make sure we spent time working on them. I’ve had a great experience with 1st Driving School from start to finish and passed first time today all thanks to Usman! Would highly recommend him as a driving instructor!”

“I had Andy as my instructor for 8 months. I passed first time through Andy’s brilliant instructions and constant positive feedback. I had very good lessons with clear advice on how to pass and support when it got challenging. ”
