Manual or automatic?
Manual driving lessons
You learn clutch control and changing gear. A manual licence also covers automatic cars, so you can drive either kind after you pass.
Automatic driving lessons
There is no clutch or gear changing to learn. An automatic licence only covers automatic cars; to drive manual cars later you can upgrade by passing a test in a manual car.

Driving lesson questions
All questionsWhat happens in my first driving lesson?
Your first lesson is a 2-hour assessment drive, at the normal price of a 2-hour lesson. Bring your provisional driving licence and tell the instructor how much driving you have done. The lesson starts from your level, and afterwards the instructor can suggest how many hours to plan for.
How do I know when I'm ready to book my driving test?
You are ready when you can drive well on your own, without your instructor needing to step in, and can pass mock tests consistently. The instructor will tell you honestly when that is, so you don't lose a test fee by booking too early.
How many driving lessons will I need before my test?
It varies by learner. GOV.UK says there is no minimum number of lessons, and how many you need depends on how quickly you learn. After your first lessons, the instructor can give you an honest estimate rather than a generic number.
Do you teach manual and automatic driving lessons?
Yes, both. See our manual vs. automatic comparison if you are still deciding which suits you.
How do I book my first lesson?
Send a lesson request through the booking form, or message us on WhatsApp. The instructor will get back to you to arrange your first lesson.
