Learn to drive in Carlisle - driving lessons

Any help that you may need to pass your Theory Test is free. This test is taken on a computer. You would be able to practise on my computer if you don't have the use of one, so don't worry about that.

All lessons are on a one-to-one basis at all times. Pick-up and drop-off points are to suite you ( well, within reason). I do lessons at the weekend and into the evening, but I don't work on Wednesdays & Thursdays.

I certainly do all I can to make the learning experience at my driving school as enjoyable as possible, but above all - value for money.

"Yes - but how much will it cost me to learn to drive at your driving school?" I hear you say. Well, that's like "How long is a piece of string?" People learn at different rates. Some people have a natural driving ability and some don't. Some people can get private practice between lessons and some can't. Some people can only take one driving lesson a week because of financial or other constraints, and others can have lessons every day. All these things will effect the time it takes to learn to drive and therefore what it will cost.

The Driving Standards Agency says..."Recent research has shown that, on average, people who take about 45 hours professional training, combined with plenty of additional practice, stand the best chance of passing their test. Some people need more driving lessons and practice than others."

At the outset, you can see that it just isn't possible to predict with certainty how many lessons you will need. I have, for example, got pupils through their driving test after only 10 lessons.

I therefore set out to provide true value for money by delivering professional tuition at all times. Each lesson builds on what you have already learned and your confidence will grow with your skill.

Each driving course is tailor-made for each pupil, taking into consideration their availability and finances with the aim of making the whole experience as cost effective as possible. If you want to learn to drive we need to have a good chat about all aspects of your driving experience and requirements.

There's more information that might be of interest to you about the driving & theory tests, and stuff to help you prepare for your practical driving test on my other pages. Most of it is for my pupils, but if you're not one of my pupils - have a look at it anyway, it might just be of use. The "Driving Tips" and "Reminders" pages will perhaps help, especially on the run up to your test. If you would like to take things further I suggest that you get in touch.
