FAQ's


Getting Started

Can I start lessons before passing my theory test?

Of course, however it's advised that you pass/book your theory test as soon as you feel comfortable to do so. Currently practical test waiting times are long. Without a theory pass certificate, you will not be able to book a practical test.


It is possible to book your theory test on your 17th birthday, providing that you have your provisional licence beforehand. Theory tests expire after 2 years.

Do I need a provisional licence?

Yes - you will be required to have a valid provisional licence in order to participate in all lessons. To find out more information about applying, please External link opens in new tab or windowclick here.

I'm a nervous driver, can you help?

Absolutely! All lessons are tailored to your every need, at a pace that suits you. We take a patient approach to all drivers, including those with anxiety and feeling a little apprehensive behind the wheel. Including those with ADHD, autism or additional support needs.

How many lessons will I need?
