Is This Lesson Right for You?
Our 20-hour driving package is a smart step for learners who have some experience behind the wheel but still want structured support to build confidence and prepare for the test. It strikes a balance between focused learning and flexibility — ideal for those aiming to progress steadily.
It’s especially useful for learners who’ve completed around 15–25 hours already, and want to continue with an instructor who can guide them towards becoming test-ready.
Once you submit your enquiry and download the Rated Driving app, you can be connected with a DVSA-registered instructor in your area in as little as 10 minutes. No upfront payment is required until you’ve spoken with your instructor and confirmed a start date.
