You'll need to be 17 or older. If you get, or have applied for, the enhanced rate of the mobility component of Personal Independence Payment (PIP), you can begin driving lessons when you're 16. You need to have a valid provisional driving licence. You can apply for a provisional licence as early as three months before you turn 16, but will need to wait until your 17th birthday before you can learn to drive.
You can take your theory test when you have your provisional driving licence and when you are at least 17 years of age. You may have received your provisional driving licence at 16 years of age, but you are only permitted to book the theory test from your 17th birthday onward. This is down to how quickly you would like to pass and the amount of money you have to spend per week.

Our system is built on fairness, and there are no hidden clauses or tricks. You'll know at all times exactly how much you are paying and what you are getting for your money.

TOP TIP: There are a few steps that you can take to ensure that you feel fresh and ready for driving lessons. Book them at a time when you're feeling at your most alert, awake and receptive to learning. Are you an early-bird-catches-the-worm type, or do you spend your mornings battling with the alarm clock and don't feel truly awake until lunchtime?
I've franchised with other companies before and drivinglesson.com are the best. The franchise fee is reasonable, and I get new pupils when I want them and I'm able to work the areas I prefer. All in all, a very friendly company to work for. A good value for money, hassle free way to top up my supply of learners with a good back office support from a dedicated and friendly team.

I passed my test first time using this driving school and I just want to say a massive thank you to my instructor Kevin Hopps. After having a bad experience with driving Kev was able to rebuild my confidence and make me believe I could drive again.
I couldn't have asked for a better teacher, Kev was calm, friendly, supportive and made lessons enjoyable. I never had any problem booking in lessons and Kev was always flexible and reliable which was great as I work full time.
Thanks again Kev! :)

Kevin Hopps was a great, easy-going and patient instructor. Lessons were always enjoyable, constructive and I looked forward to every one!
I wasn't always confident, but Kev took his time to cover the aspects of driving I struggled with, putting appropriate faith in my ability, he was never controlling. I am going to miss his lessons for now but hope to return for motorway lessons with him at some stage!
Thanks Kev!

AVOID THIS PLACE. Awful company that takes advantage of people. Told my allocated driver I had anxiety and was nervous for my first lesson and I was disregarded, wasn't reassured or told that would be taken into consideration. He then proceeded to abuse another driver when they parked near us on my first lesson which caused me to feel even more anxious and extremely intimidated, especially as he started the lesson by talking about injuries and death in cars. Wasn't told proper instructions on getting into car such as checking both blind spots (which could cause me to fail on my test.) I prepaid

Carol, my driving instructor, was an incredibly kind, patient and informative instructor who encouraged me throughout my driving experience to become a more confident driver. I had had a few lessons before being taught by her and she was able to iron out the habits I'd picked up before learning with her to improve my driving, and gave different perspectives on driving manoeuvres that ultimately improved my performance, understanding and driving ability. The lessons were easy going, easy to organise through text message, and we were able to adjust each lesson to focus on specific points to improve
