FAQ’s Q. How do I know if my instructor is fully
qualified? A. A driving instructor
must display his or her Approved Driving Instructors badge in the windscreen
of their vehicle. A green badge shows that they are fully qualified; a pink
badge means that they are still training. Q. Can I have the same instructor for all my
lessons? A. Yes. Only in
exceptional circumstances, for example if your instructor is ill, should we
need to change your instructor. Q. Will my instructor smoke during a lesson? A. No. Our Code Of
Conduct and the law does not permit instructors to smoke during lessons. Q. Will I get a full hour of tuition? A. Yes, your
instructor will pick you up at the time you have arranged and you will have a
full hour of one to one tuition. Q. Can I book a two-hour lesson? A. Yes. Lessons are
booked and tuition costs quoted by the hour, but lessons lasting two-hours
can be arranged. In many cases two-hour lessons are preferable and
recommended. You can also have one and a half hour lessons if you wish. Q. Do normal weekly lessons in the evening
cost the same as in the daytime? A. Yes. Q. Will I have to share my lesson or pick up
the next pupil during my lesson? A. No. It’s
against our Code Of Conduct for an instructor to pick up another pupil in
your lesson. You will receive personal, one to one tuition. Q. Can I get picked up and dropped off at
different addresses? A. On most occasions,
Yes, but you must make these arrangements with your instructor before your
lesson starts. Q. How many lessons will I need? A. There is no set
number. Driving Standard Agency research suggests that about 40 hours of
professional training plus additional practice will give you the best chance

to drive. Would you advise me to try a simulator first? A. Driving Simulators
can be useful, but nothing can replace in car training with a professional
instructor. Don’t worry if you’re feeling anxious, our friendly
instructors understand and will soon put you at ease. Q. Do you offer refresher courses? If so how

already passed your test and need to brush up on your skills, we can offer
you a refresher course. Lessons costs can be reduced by £2 per hour from our
standard prices if you use your own car. Q. Will I need to book my theory and
practical tests myself? A. The two tests are
an arrangement between you and the DSA. You can book by ‘phoning 0300

theory/hazard perception test? A. Yes, your
instructor can help you. You can also buy various practical and theory test
books from your local bookshop. Q. What type of car will I drive? A. You will learn to
drive in a manual dual controlled car. Please contact your instructor as each
