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.
