Driving Lessons
How many lessons will I need?
Everybody is different and this will ultimately depend on you, your knowledge, experience, existing skills and commitment. After a few driving lessons, your driving instructor will be able to give you an indication of how many hours it will take to achieve the standard.
We are well aware that getting to test standard ASAP is very important so our work will ensure you fast track to a successful test result – usually first time. Learning to drive means developing the necessary skills using an iterative learning process and this cannot be forced. At Flexdrive we recognise that we cannot show a new driver every situation they are likely to come across once passed but WE can coach them how they can learn from there own experiences, i.e. how to use the skills learnt in situation A transfer to the new situation B.

What happens on a lesson?
We employ CCL (Client Centred Learning) techniques, be it developing existing skills or learning new ones, every lesson will be tailored to your needs. Early lessons will usually take place in quiet areas and at quiet times. Throughout your lessons we will bring the theory alive helping you in a general sense with your DVSA theory test or specifically with bits you need help with.
Get your Provisional Licence
Before you can legally start to drive on the public highway – Get your Provisional!.
1. You must have a Provisional Driving Licence. You can get a D1 form “Application for a Driving Licence” , from a Post Office or you can do it all on line HERE. (You can apply 3 months prior to your 17th birthday for a Provisional Driving Licence , but only be valid from your 17th birthday). There is a fee payable currently £34(on-line) at 17-01-2021.
2. You are ready to start driving, but it is not advisable to start straight away with parents, friends or partners as bad habits will immediately be transferred. If you do, make sure you are insured to drive. Book in with a professional, trained teacher and bring your licence and any glasses or contact lenses as we will first check that you can read a number plate at 20.5m. We operate a price promise; if your first lesson is not really enjoyed you will not have to pay for it.
How long is a driving lesson?
We offer options for 1, 1.5, 2 hour or Semi Intensive driving lessons depending on your preference and schedule.
