Harrison Lewis14/04/2025 Michael has been a great instructor for me helping in my first time test pass. Learning from scratch, I could not of asked for a better instructor as every issue I encountered, he made sure i dealt with it and most importantly learned from it. Michael has helped me in becoming a confident driver and I wish him all the best! Dave Ernesto Marley Stevens20/03/2025 Paul was such an amazing instructor, I was an older learner having not had any lessons for close to 20 years, he instantly made me feel at ease and enjoy being behind the wheel. I would definitely recommend.

I wasn’t a very confident person at all and nerves often got the better of me, but with the help of Paul my confidence and mindset towards driving grew massively! Highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a brilliant instructor! Thank you again Paul!

Hi Katie, well done on passing in 4 months. We are pleased you enjoyed your lessons with Micheal. 🚙 Milly Sharp12/02/2025 I passed today with 0 driving faults! After a few failed attempts before starting with SDL. I was a nervous driver with not a lot of confidence but Mike was really good at explaining things throughly and giving me good tips. Mike also didn’t just teach me to pass my driving test but did everything for me to be a confident and safe driver in the future too. I am absolutely thrilled. Thank you so much

We’d be delighted to answer your questions on an initial free & no obligation call.
Here are some FAQ’s to start with
How many lessons do I need to pass my test?
On average, learner drivers tend to require between 40 and 60 hours behind the wheel – a mixture of being with a professional driving instructor and private practice. However, each student is different and will learn at their own pace. We will tailor your lessons to you, ensuring that you become confident behind the wheel and feel ready to take your test as soon as possible.
How long do lessons last?
Standard lessons are either for 1 hour or 1.5 hours, starting from your home, workplace or other agreed pickup place. Many students feel that 1 hour is too short and 2 hours is too long, while the 1.5 hour sessions provide the right balance for the best learning experience. The only requirement before learning to drive with a driving school is to acquire a provisional licence. You can apply online or pick up a form from your local Post Office.
How often should I have lessons?
It is important to have lessons on a regular basis in order to build up your driving skills and confidence while maintaining the skills you are learning. It is best to have lessons at least once a week, and many students prefer to have two or three lessons each week. If you are interested in learning to drive as quickly as possible, we offer intensive driving courses.
What happens if I need to cancel my lesson?
Please note, you will be charged for the lesson if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the lesson start time, as there is not enough time to fill the space left by your late cancellation.
Do I need to have passed my Theory Test before I start my driving lessons?
No, you don’t need to pass before you drive. It’s a good thing to do this as you learn so what you read about you can see out on the road while you have your lessons
Are the lessons in a manual or automatic car?
We offer both manual and automatic driving lessons.
