What do I need to do before I can start driving?
You need to be at least 17 years of age and if you have not already done so, apply for a provisional license from the DVLA.
You can do this online ( https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-provisional-driving-licence ) or by getting an application (D1) form from the post office.
It is also worth having an eyesight check to ensure you can read a standard car number plate from 20.5 metres away.
What areas are covered?
Leicester and its surroundings.
How often should I have my driving lessons?
Continuity of driving lessons is important and we recommend that you have between 2 and 4 hours per week. You will also progress much quicker if you have two hour lessons each time. The minimum that we can provide is 1 and a half hours.
How many driving lessons will I need to take?
The number of lessons required varies from student to student and is dependent on many factors, such as availability, age, learning style or any previous road experiences (motorbikes, bicycles or simply as a passenger in a vehicle).
Do we offer intensive courses?
Please enquire.
Do I need to pass the Theory Test before I can start my driving lessons?
No, and in fact it may be better to learn the theory whilst having practical lessons. You will, however, need to pass the theory test before applying for the practical test.
How do I pay for my driving lessons?
You can either pay by wire transfer or cash.
