Am I able to have driving lessons in my own/family or friends car?
No, that’s not permitted. According to their policy, only one instructor and one student may be in the vehicle during lessons, and they specify that the lessons are conducted using the academy’s vehicles. This setup ensures safety, regulatory compliance, and consistency in training methods.
So, if you’re planning to take lessons, your vehicle (or one from family/friends) won’t work — the academy’s car must be used.

When will I be ready to go for the practical test?
Focuses on tailoring each student's training to their individual pace and progress, emphasizing safety and skill development rather than fixed milestone timelines. Every lesson includes a 50-minute practical session followed by a 10-minute debrief.
Why do I need to practice my driving?
Driving involves combining theory with physical skills and judgement. Practice is essential and the more practice you have, the less number of professional driving lessons you may require to be at the standard required to pass the test. Practice is vital and the requirement is that a new driver has 100 hours of log book experience prior to sitting for their practical driving test.
