How many lessons will I need ?

The most common questions I get asked by potential students are " how much are you lessons " and " how many will I need " 

According to the DVSA, an average student will need 45 hours from a complete beginner to passing. As this is an average, students take longer and less. The quickest I've had from a complete beginner is 17 hours. This student spent a lot of time after the lessons studying online as to what was required in the next lesson. This is a fantastic acheivement and is unusual. Most students take around the 40 hours mark. 

This can only be acheived by proper structured learning. At all times, it is imperative that you are fully aware what stage you are at in the learning sylabus. All practical driving lessons should begin with a full recap of last session, any thoughts the student has since had about the lesson and a full agreement on what is to be acheived during the lesson. It should end with a full recap and a plan to move forward on the next lesson. 

Lessons may be found cheaper elsewhere but, if you are " just driving round " without any proper lesson plan, it can take more lessons in the long run and therefore work out more expensive.
