Theory & practical test information

You must pass your driving theory test before you can book a practical test. Many learners choose to pass the theory, then contact us to plan an intensive course that leads up to a suitable practical test date. Waiting times for practical tests vary by test centre and time of year, so please check DVSA availability early. If you already have a test booked, tell us the date and time so we can advise on the best course length and schedule to make sure you are ready in good time.

If you are ready to get started, the next step is to check course availability in your preferred area and talk through the right intensive course length for you. Contact our team with your current driving experience, manual or automatic preference, and any theory or practical test dates you already have. We will then confirm the best options, example prices and how to secure your space. Online booking forms may also be available – we can guide you to the right one if needed.
