DO I NEED TO PASS MY THEORY TEST BEFORE I CAN START LESSONS?
No you don’t! Some people prefer to do this, particularly if they are planning to learn to drive intensively, but many people study for their theory test whilst they are taking lessons – this means your driving instructor can give you help with your theory too!

The DVSA have many theory and practical test centres all over the UK. Your chances of passing the test are the same which ever centre you use. If we book your test for you then we will arrange it for the most convenient centre for you and your instructor.

Absolutely – we welcome everybody regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, or disability (subject to the disability not legally preventing you from driving or affecting the safety of yourself, your instructor, or other road users).
