Why start with a taster?
More confidence in building a trusted relationship before committing to more lessons together. It also helps ensure a good instructor-learner fit, so you can decide what works best for you going forward.

What if I pass before using up all of my lesson credit?
The DVSA guidelines suggest 44hrs of professional driving lessons are needed to be test-ready, but everyone learns at their own pace. If you pass your test before using all of your lesson credit we will validate with you & your instructor the remaining balance and return this to you as a partial refund.
Why choose a 40-hour block?
Booking lessons in a block helps maintain momentum, build muscle memory, and develop confidence more quickly. By booking 40 hours in a block you maximise value for money and can expect to be almost test-ready by the time you near the end.
What happens after your 40 hours?
Once completed, you can:
Book additional lessons to keep learning if needed
Get test-ready with an intensive course
Move onto your practical test
