"made me feel completely at ease"

“Dear Sir or Madam

I am writing to thank the school for providing me with the skills to pass my driving test.

Having failed my driving test twice thirteen years ago and having not been behind the wheel since, I was quite wary about trying again. But my instructor, Martin, made me feel completely at ease. The course had more structure than my lessons years ago and, I have to say, the professionalism and manner in which Martin teaches had me wishing I'd been able to learn from someone like him from the start. I think he must be the most patient person I have met!”

Choosing The Lessons

Duration

Two hour lessons are far more valuable than one hour lessons so that there is plenty of time to adjust to being in the driving seat. Make sure your this is on offer from your chosen driving school. Be aware that a cheaper rate that a school offers may turn out to be a bit of a misnomer as it may be for a shorter lesson, say 45 minutes rather than an hour. Check this out before booking.

Intensive Courses

Whilst the thought of taking just a week or two to pass your test does sound appealing to some, the drawbacks are that the student will not experience all driving conditions. The stress can build up over the week and if a driver has only ever known stress behind the wheel then this will be carried through once they have passed their test and are fully licensed. Additionally, if you have a bad lesson, you can’t simply put it behind you and forget it as you have to keep going continuously until the course is over. If, on the other hand, it’s one final push you need before a test, then an intensive course may offer the perfect solution.
