Is This Course Right for You?
Our 35-hour course is a solid choice for learners who already have a little bit of driving experience and want to build up their confidence and skills from a stronger foundation.
It’s ideal if you’ve had around 5–15 hours of lessons previously or feel more comfortable learning over a slightly longer period without pressure. With enough time to cover all the key areas of driving in detail, this course helps you build up gradually, while still getting you test-ready efficiently.
Once booked, we’ll arrange your course with a DVSA-approved instructor in your local area, based on your availability and location.
🧠 What’s Included
As an agent, we arrange everything on your behalf:
- A 35-hour intensive course delivered by a DVSA-approved instructor
- Lessons scheduled across 7 to 12 sessions, depending on your preferences and the instructor’s availability
- 2 hours reserved for your driving test day, including car hire
- A personalised lesson plan tailored to your goals and areas for improvement
This course gives your instructor time to cover all the key driving topics — from the basics to more advanced elements — and to give you plenty of time to practise each one.
👤 Who This Course Is Best For
This course is a great fit for learners who:
- Have had 5–15 hours of previous driving experience
- Know the basics but lack confidence or consistency behind the wheel
- Want enough time to learn at a comfortable pace
- Are looking for a structured, supportive route to becoming test-ready
Not sure if this is the right course for you? Just tell us a bit about your experience, and we’ll help you choose the best fit.
⏳ Need a Sooner Driving Test?
The DVSA currently has long delays for practical test dates — in many areas, wait times can stretch beyond 20 weeks.
To avoid this, we work with a trusted third-party provider who sends us daily fast-track test cancellations.
Once your instructor is confirmed and your first lesson is scheduled, we’ll begin the search for a test date. At this stage, we’ll ask both you and your instructor to share up to three local test centres you’re happy to use. This helps us widen the net and increases our chances of securing a test as close as possible to the end of your course.
📍Where This Course Is Available
We have instructor cover across most of the UK. Once your booking is received, we’ll arrange your course based on your location and availability.
If we’re unable to match you with an instructor within 14 days, your deposit will be refunded in full.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashleigh – Passed with 1 Minor!
I booked my crash course through Rated Driving and it has been nothing but exceptional!
I had very limited availability, but Kevin and the team worked around everything to get it sorted. I started with no confidence and hardly any experience — and in just five weeks, I passed my first test with ONE minor!
My instructor was absolutely amazing. I can’t fault a single thing. From nervous to fully confident and safe on the road in a matter of weeks — I’m so grateful!
