lessons - preparations

Before you can start driving you will need :

  • To be 17 years old.
  • To have a provisional driving licence.
    To get a licence, go to the Post Office, pick up and send off an application form; the D1 Photo Licence application form. You can apply up to three months before your 17th birthday.
  • To book lessons.
    You will need your provisional licence before you can actually take any lessons, although you can book them any time.

In order to obtain your FULL driving licence you will need to pass both your theory and your practical tests. The Theory Test should be booked shortly after starting your driving lessons and your personal instructor will advise you when you should book your Practical Test.

Mock theory tests can be taken on the DSA website at : www.dsa.gov.uk

The best way to learn to drive is to take regular lessons spread over several weeks. Those pupils who use the 'one lesson per week' approach often take many months to learn to drive. While this method spreads out the cost of learning to drive, it can also be more expensive because its easy to forget from one week to the next the things that you have already learned. As a result you take many more lessons before you reach test standard. It's a bit like taking two steps forward and one step back.

We are able to offer lessons in the morning, afternoon and evenings for the convenience of our pupils and these are available 7 days a week to suit your requirements. We cover three local test centres in this area at Saltcoats, Greenock and Paisley.
