It is important to be aware that everyone learns to drive at a different pace and what works for one person may not work for another. So don't decide in advance on how many driving lessons you will need. Together we will tailor a driving programme to suit your specific requirements and see how many driving lessons you will require.

Learn to drive and EDT lessons

Driving lessons for complete beginners to test standard including the new Essential Driver Training (EDT) lessons

EDT Driving Lessons is a course of 12 one-hour driving lessons. These lessons are designed to cover certain critical driving skills and improve your practical driving skills. As you complete each lesson, I will record your progress in a specially issued logbook. As a qualified driving instructor I get a real buzz seeing the joy on candidates faces when they realise that they can "rip up the L plates" and drive where they want, when they want. Learning to drive is one of the most important and liberating things you can do in your life. I am looking forward to hearing from you NOW so that I can put you on the road to driving success. .

LESSON 2: CORRECT POSITIONING

You should leave at least two weeks between you EDT lessons to allow for practice and learning. This may involve further lessons with an ADI, but should also include practice sessions with a Sponsor or a mixture of both.
