WHAT DO I NEED TO START TAKING PRACTICAL DRIVING LESSONS

You need to be aged 17 years with a provisional licence. theory test can be done along side practical lessons as its only valid for 2 years and needed before you apply for practical test. (See Theory section)

I HAVE SEEN LESSONS FOR £5 EACH?

Many schools are doing introductory lessons below cost price. Most are big companies like BSM will send a trainee instructor to you (see pink triangle on there windscreen when they arrive. It is illegal not to display badge). With MnM you will not be tied in after your 1st 2 half price lessons at £9.99 each. These are cost price trial lessons to give you idea of my training style. I dont do more than 6 lessons per day and this keeps me alert in all my lessons. Do you want to be taught by someone who has been on the road for over 10hours, i wouldn't. I follow the latest research methods by European GDE Matrix program based on coaching and self assesment. I also have the rights to use free online video tutorials which will bring the number of lessons you need down by upto 50% so you wont forget if you do lessons just once a week. I will not force you take more lessons than you really need. I recommend try my lessons after any cheaper lessons you have been offered and decide for yourself.
Remember 60 lessons at £15 = £900 whereas 40 lessons at £20 = 800

SO HOW MANY LESSONS WILL IT TAKE ME TO PASS?

Depends on your age and ability. A 17 year old quick learner can pass in 30 lessons from having no prior experience. With age and ability it will increase. A slow learner age 60+ can take upto 100 lessons to pass. Everyone can pass the test it is not impossible its all about motivation.

WHY SHOULD I TRAIN FROM YOU AS APPOSED TO BSM?

Below is a list of my skills and services and if you can get an instructor to match my skills and reduced standard rate of only £20 per hour then go with him or her. Remember Driving is a skill for life and I will do my best to make you into a consciously competent proactive safe driver. Did you know Every hour somebody under age of 25 will die or get seriously injured from driving in UK. Good driving practice and attitude will be with you for life this is why I trained as an Advance driver after becoming an Instructor using Roadcraft the police driving manual. A New BTec in Driving Science will be available soon!!

SOME SCHOOLS ADVERTISE FREE TEST IF YOU FAIL

Have you read the small print. You have to pass a minimum of at least 2 mock driving tests before you can apply for a test. With a waiting list of 2 months that will be an extra 4-8 lessons more than you need. By the way you still have to pay DSA test fee its only the 2 hours for test that are free. So if you are willing to meet that condition then i will be happy to give you 2nd test free as it will probably take at least 10-20 more lessons than you really need to pass a mock test twice. I can also make the mock tests almost impossible to pass. I actually follow the DSA syllabus and if you can do the whole driving syllabus independently then you are ready for a driving test. I will give you a mock test on test routes too and if you are getting less than 15 small faults you are ready for the test. You can apply when you we both feel confident in your driving.

SOME SCHOOLS ARE DOING LESSONS FOR £15 CAN YOU MATCH THIS

Those are 45 minute lessons and i dont believe 45 minute lessons are enough to learn properly. I and AA recommend 2 hour lessons. If you want 45 minute lessons then i can certainly match that but i can assure you that you are wasting your time and money as a structured lesson has 1st 10-15minutes as introduction and drive to suitable location with demonstrations of subject being taught then at least 20 minutes of continous practice repeating until near perfection using a system of core competencies and 5-15 minutes for evaluation, recap, question/answer session and to book next appointment. In 2 hours you will get triple practice time upto 60-80minutes driving. Remember the average human concentration level dips after 20minutes and important to have evaluation every 20minutes.

IT IS CHEAPER FOR ME TO DO A DRIVING LESSON FROM WORK TO HOME THAN CATCHING A TAXI?

Im sorry but i dont do taxi service i do professional lessons so for this you will need to find another instructor who is most likely short of work.
