How long will the course last?

The length of the course varies from driver to driver. Everyone learns to drive at their own pace so no-one can say how many lessons any particular person will need.
Paul will closely monitor your driving during each lesson and give you an honest assessment of your progress towards taking the Practical Test.



Practice

There is no substitute for learning car control skills and how to deal with different road situations with a professional driving instructor before going to practice privately. When you have enough confidence, Paul will advise you what and where to practice.

You must be accompanied by a driver who has held a full EC/EEA licence for at least three years for the car you are driving, is at least 21 years of age and still holds the licence.

Practice on as many different types of roads as you can and in all sorts of traffic conditions, even in the dark and on dual carriageways where the upper speed limit applies.
