The basics, properly
Seat and mirror set-up, controls, moving off and stopping smoothly, steering, and getting a feel for the size of the car.
Learner lessons, automatic and manual, at whatever pace you need. If you have never sat behind a wheel, this page is written for you.
Starting out
A first lesson is not a test. It is a quiet street, a patient instructor, and as long as you need to get comfortable.
Plenty of people come to us having put driving off for years — because of nerves, cost, a bad experience with someone who shouted, or simply never having got around to it. That is normal, and it is not something to apologise for. We start where you are.
Lessons are one-on-one. There is no other student in the back seat watching, and no clock being tapped. You will make mistakes; that is literally what the lessons are for.
Class C
What we cover
Seat and mirror set-up, controls, moving off and stopping smoothly, steering, and getting a feel for the size of the car.
Roundabouts, merging, lane changes, multi-lane roads and the busier intersections you have probably been avoiding.
Reverse parallel parking, angle and ninety-degree parking, three-point turns, and hill starts that do not roll back.
The actual roads, turns and manoeuvre areas used in assessments, driven often enough that they stop feeling special.
Run exactly like the real assessment, marked the same way, so the first time you sit one is not the one that counts.
Already drive, but somewhere else? We will help you adjust to local road rules and conditions, and prepare for what is required here.
Nervous drivers
Say so when you book. It changes how the first few lessons are structured, and it is far more common than you think.
We start somewhere with almost no traffic and stay there until the car feels manageable. Nothing new gets introduced while you are still working on the last thing. If a lesson is not going well, we pull over and talk about it rather than pushing through.
What we will not do is put you on a main road to “get you used to it” before you are ready, or book you in for an assessment because the calendar says so. Confidence is built by things going well repeatedly, not by being thrown in.
Common questions
If you are only ever going to drive automatics, learn in an automatic — it removes a whole layer of difficulty while you are learning everything else. If you might drive a manual later, or you are heading towards heavy vehicle work, learning manual now saves you doing it twice. Tell us your plans and we will give you a straight recommendation.
It varies enormously, and anyone who gives you a number before meeting you is guessing. It depends on how much practice you get between lessons, whether you have driven before, and how comfortable you are in traffic. After the first lesson we will give you a realistic range and update it as you go.
Talk to us when you book and we will confirm what we can arrange for your assessment, including a lesson beforehand to warm up. Sitting the test in the car you have trained in removes one more unfamiliar thing from the day.
What is required depends on the country your licence is from and how long you have held it. The driving itself is rarely the problem — it is usually local road rules, roundabout conventions and speed-zone habits. We will work through the differences with you and prepare you for whatever assessment applies.
