FAQ
1. Can I start driving before I receive my provisional driving license?
No, you must wait until you receive your license.
2. Do I have to pass my theory test before I start my driving lessons?
No. It is often better to learn the theory whilst you are learning the practical,
as it makes it easier to understand and remember. The exception to this is if you are doing an intensive course, then it is better to have passed the theory first
3. Can my friends or family take me out in their cars to practice driving in between my lessons?
Yes. Practice with friends or relatives often helps but they must be over 21 and have held a license for 3 years or more. Remember also to have the correct Insurance and display L plates on the front & rear of the vehicle, see the links above for more help

Yes. We are there to help make you become a safe and competent driver in a friendly and pleasant environment, all training will be given at your pace because we firmly believe in a pupil centred approach to learning.
6. What test centres do you use ?
Our normal test centres are Buxton, Sutton in Ashfield and Derby.We would be happy to discuss alternative centres if you have a particular preference.

The Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency say it takes about 40 hours tuition plus plenty of home
practice, but this can vary depending on each individual.
We strive to help you pass in the most cost effective way possible.
