DO I NEED TO PASS MY THEORY TEST BEFORE I CAN START LESSONS?

No you don’t! Some people prefer to do this, particularly if they are planning to learn to drive intensively, but many people study for their theory test whilst they are taking lessons – this means your driving instructor can give you help with your theory too!

Absolutely – we welcome everybody regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, or disability (subject to the disability not legally preventing you from driving or affecting the safety of yourself, your instructor, or other road users).
