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.
You can pay through our website or if you prefer you can pay your instructor direct by cash or bank transfer.

“I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Nadeem, who made me feel comfortable and confident from our very first lesson. Our lessons were well paced and appropriately challenging, but most importantly they were enjoyable! Thanks to Nadeem, I was able to pass first time. I had a great experience with 1st Driving School from my first lesson right up until my test day. Thank you!”
“My instructor is very thorough and tailored the lesson according to my strength and weaknesses. Giving me encouragement when I'm unsure or not confident about my decision on the road. Passed today on second attempt.”
“Couldn't recommend Julian barker enough! I went to him after having a bad experience with somebody else and he put me at ease straight away and built my confidence back each lesson. Brilliant teacher.”
“I got my licence yesterday, it was my first attempt and my instructor was Mr Kamal. I got good training and he helped me to pass without hurdles. Thanks to 1st Driving School.”
