Expectations of Lessons

THEORY TEST

PRACTICAL TEST

How many lessons will I need

The DSA recommend that every new driver should receive 45 hours tuition with a professional driving instructor and then further outside driving with family / friends. You must remember this is only an average and it is quite common for some pupils to have 60 hours or more...

It should never be a competition with friends nor pier pressure from parents. All learners pass when they are ready and whether it is after 30 lessons or 60,  1st attempt to 10th it does not matter. No driver can say that further lessons would not benefit them in the wake of staying alive on today’s roads.

The DSA intend to bring into force in the near future a minimum number of driving lessons with a professional drving instructor before being able to apply for the practical test. This is in place to deter pupils that feel they are ready after only 25 – 30 lessons.

So let’s look at this from a realistic point of view based on 40 hours.

• 1 hour per week will take you approx 11 months
• 2 hours per week will take you approx 6 months

Consider this example 40 hours @ £22ph total £880 (experienced instructor) or 60 hours @ £17ph total £1020 (less experienced instructor) which one would you rather?

It is important that you understand what takes place on your 1st lesson with us.

On Your Very First Driving Lesson...

If you have never driven before, don't worry your 1st driving lesson will be relax and enjoyable. You will be put at ease straight away. Your driving instructor will take you to a nice, quiet area away from all the traffic, there you will be shown step-by-step, what to do and why it is important. On your 1st lesson you will experience some driving of the car. Once your driving lessons progress your instructor will still be with you every step of the way until she feels you can take over some of the responsibility. It will be great fun with lots of laughs along the way.

What you should expect from your instructor is to ...

• Be in control of the vehicle and your safety
• Take a lesson each week as a minimum
• Have a clean car and display DSA licence?
• Not invade your personal space
• Correct and discuss the faults that you make giving clear reasons of the dangers
• Arrive on time and give the full time allocated
• Help you with your theory
• Give you praise and feedback thoughout a lesson
