How Many Driving Lessons Will I Need?

Unfortunately there is no certain way of knowing how many lessons you will need. Some drivers pick up the skills required far more quickly than they may have anticipated, whereas other may struggle to learn rapidly and may need more tuition.

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) have conducted research which shows that the average driver takes around 45 hours of tuition to learn to a pass standard. They also recommend an additional average of 22 hours private practice time. Also as a general guideline formula, if you multiply you age X1.5, this can indicate an average total of hours required.

Your instructor should keep you informed about when he or she believes you will be ready to take your test, and will let you know how you are progressing along the way.
