Include your preferred transmission when contacting us so we can check the appropriate instructor network.
Can I start learning before I have a practical test booked?

Finding an earlier test does not necessarily mean you will be ready to attend it safely.

You can read our guides to Ashfield , Chesterfield and Worksop .
Can I practise in my own car after the 25-hour course?

Your instructor can help you identify which skills would be most useful to practise.

Does an intensive driving course guarantee that I will pass?
No reputable driving school can guarantee that a learner will pass. The practical test is conducted independently by the DVSA, and you must demonstrate the required standard throughout the assessment.
Focused tuition can help you make faster progress, but the number of hours required varies between learners.
Can I use the instructor’s car for my driving test?
Use of an instructor’s car for the practical test is subject to the instructor and vehicle being available. The instructor must also be satisfied that you are safe and properly prepared to attend.
