Learning to drive can be a tricky business – but Begin Driving is here to help, our instructors make learning to drive fun, rather than a chore.
People learn at different rates and we recognise this and individually tailor our training to get you to test standard at a pace that suits you. With a higher than average pass rate you can be sure of the best possible tuition and that you will be fully prepared when you are put forward for your test.
If you want to learn to drive you should make sure you learn with an expert – qualified driving instructors are skilled at teaching young drivers how to be the best possible drivers and how to make sure they stay safe on the road – who will you trust with your tuition?

Yes, we have both manual and automatic vehicles available.
Our recent study highlighted that 1.5-hour driving lessons are widely seen as the sweet spot for effective learning. Learners told us this duration gives them enough time to make steady progress and practise essential skills, while still being short enough to maintain concentration without feeling tired or overloaded.
Yes, your instructor will pick you up from your home and drop you back. Any other pick ups and drop offs need to be pre arranged and agreed with your instructor.

Your instructor will help you decide when you are ready to book a practical test. Remember you will need to have passed the theory test before you can book a practical test.
The amount of lessons you will need is an individual figure, we aim to get you test ready at your pace so you are fully prepared for the practical test.
As a guide – The DVSA recommends around 45 hours of professional driving lessons and a further 22 hours of private practice to learn to drive. Learners who prepare in this way have a higher test pass rate and are safer on our roads.
