Learning to Drive Course Structure

In discussion with you, your requirements will be assessed and a course structure suggested accordingly.

For students who live within 50 miles the suggested approach is to book a two-hour assessment.
For those travelling significant distances it is recommended to book a full day or stay overnight, see accommodation, and undertake a minimum of two days training.

The training day begins after rush-hour at 9.30am and end at about 7.00pm. You should be under instruction for 8 hours with half hourly breaks for rest and discussion. These breaks are important, as concentration levels and stamina are a consideration. You are not charged for the break periods.

Half day lesson

Start at 9.30am - 2.00pm, being: 2 hours, 30 min break, followed by a further 2 hours.
Afternoons - 2.30pm to 7.00pm, comprising 2 hours, 30 min break, followed by 2 hours driving.
