GUIDING YOU
THROUGH THE PROCESS

Get the Provisional Licence

To practice driving in Britain, you need either a provisional licence for Great Britain or Northern Ireland or a full driving licence valid here. You also need to be able to read a number plate from 20 metres away.

Take the Driving Lessons

When learning to drive a car, you need someone qualified with you. Our instructors are all fully qualified ADI’s with years of experience.

Sit the Theory Test

Separated into two sections; multiple-choice questions and several hazard perception clips, it needs your focus. Buying one of the Apps out there is the best way to prepare. They allow you to use a 5-minute break or take chunks of time to study as it suits you.

Are you Ready to Pass?

From April 2019 - April 2020 the UK pass rate was 45.9% - Less than half the tests taken. You should be able to prove you are ready to the examiner. The examiners have recorded 10 most common reasons people failed - and this has not changed much over the last 10 years.

Pass your Driving Test

You and your instructor will work on preparing you for driving on your own. Part of that is passing the driving test. You will take a stranger/driving examiner on a 40-minute journey. Before setting off, you will need to sign a document, prove your eyes can read a registration plate from 20 meters away and answer one question(Show me, Tell me). A second Show me question will be asked while you drive. The examiner will ask you if you want them to tell you about the test and we always advise to take them up on the offer.
