Is This Lesson Right for You?

A 2-hour driving lesson is the industry standard for most learner drivers in the UK. Whether you’re just starting out or brushing up your skills, this is the most common format used by DVSA-registered instructors across the country.

Most learners choose 2-hour lessons to get the most out of their time behind the wheel – long enough to build momentum and make real progress in each session.

If you’re paying lesson-by-lesson (commonly known as pay-as-you-go), this is usually the most expensive route. Many learners switch to packages of 10, 20 or more hours once they find the right instructor, which unlocks discounted rates.

✅ Checklist Before You Can Book a Driving Test

Before your instructor can take you to a practical driving test, you must:

• Hold a valid UK provisional driving licence

• Have passed your theory test

• Be at a standard where the instructor is confident you’re safe, consistent, and test-ready

Your instructor is responsible for deciding when you’re ready to take the test using their car, and they’ll guide you towards that milestone.
