Don’t expect to definitely be equipped to pass a driving test at the end of the course. While some people will be ready for their test, others will require further lessons. Remember 20 or 30 hours tuition in a 2-3 week period is the equivalent to 20-30 weeks tuition at 1 hour per week. An intensive course may suit you – you will gain experience and confidence in a shorter time scale and learn in a few weeks what could take months.
Yes, we must charge for cancellations unless you give 48 hours notice prior to your lesson.
Yes, we offer practice sessions and mock theory tests including the hazard perception test at our purpose-built centre on Coventry Road – please contact us for more information.
Previously, most people took lessons lasting only one hour. However, we have found through our experience that two-hour lessons are more productive for both the learner and the instructor. Each lesson will have a start, a middle, and an end. The start is a briefing, followed by a short settling period. The middle is where the bulk of the actual driving is taught. This is then followed by an end – the recap – an evaluation of what has been achieved. You can obviously learn more in a two-hour lesson than in a one-hour lesson. Sometimes three-hour lessons, or longer, are appropriate but it does depend on the individual.
Yes. We strongly encourage all our pupils to take the DVSA Pass Plus course. It can be beneficial for new drivers as significant savings can be made on motor insurance for those who complete the course. Essentially this is not a pass or fail course. This course will cover aspects of driving not covered under normal tuition, such as motorway driving, night driving, high-speed overtaking, etc.
