FAQ
Helpful Information
How do I pay for my driving lessons?
We can accept cash, bank transfers and credit/debit cards. If you want to block book lessons then you will have to pay upfront in order to reserve your lessons in our dairy system.
Will you pick me up and drop me off?
We do a door-to-door service, so we will pick you up from your home and drop you off back at home. If you need to be picked up from somewhere in the local area we can normally do this but we may include the travel time in your lesson time.
How many lessons will I need?
The number of driving lessons required depends on your own ability and how well you follow the driving instructors advice. Some students take 10-20 hours to pass others can take 40-50 hours. We will make sure your have a 95% chance of passing your test before you book your test so that you do not waste your money.
How will I know how I am doing?
We follow a structured syllabus and a master chart so that you can see what skills you have learned, how many times you have practiced them and what skills are still left to learn. At the end of every lesson we will write up a review with you to see what was achieved in the driving lesson and what skills need working on.
Will you cover test areas in Slough?
Yes, once you have done basic junctions and small roundabouts we will try and do more driving lessons near the Slough test areas. We cover the major dual carriageways, difficult box junctions and one way systems as well as most major roundabouts. All our students have known at least 90% of the test routes when they did their driving test. We cannot however guarantee that you will not be taken somewhere new on the test day.
Is it easier to pass in an automatic car?
Automatic cars are slightly easier to learn in but it will not give you a better chance of passing. Students do not fail because they cannot use the gears and clutch. Almost all students who fail a test, fail due to other reasons which are linked to safety and planning not car control.
Can a very nervous student pass?
If you are a very nervous student then it means you lack certain driving skills. We will identify what those skills are and fix them. Once these are fixed then you will know you can drive safely and will no longer have issues with nerves.
I have failed my driving test many times, can you help me pass?
If you have failed multiple times then either you have gone for the tests when not really test ready or you have planning issues. It is true that some students just make a silly mistake on the day but usually there is an underlying issue that needs fixing.
