Question 1

How old do I need to be to start lessons?

Accepted Answer

You can start driving lessons from your 17th birthday, as long as you hold a valid UK provisional licence. You can apply for your provisional up to three months before you turn 17, so many students book their first lesson to fall just after their birthday.

Question 2

Do you offer automatic driving lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have dedicated automatic instructors and dual-controlled automatic cars across West London. Automatic lessons remove clutch and gear changes, so many students find they progress more quickly.

Question 3

Do you offer manual lessons?

Accepted Answer

We do. Manual tuition covers clutch control, gear changes, hill starts, manoeuvres and independent driving. A manual licence lets you drive both manual and automatic vehicles.

Question 4

Can you pick me up from home?

Accepted Answer

Yes, pick-up and drop-off is included as standard anywhere inside our covered areas. You can be collected from home, work, college or university at no extra cost.

Question 5

Will I stay with the same instructor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You are paired with one DVSA-approved instructor for the whole of your journey, so every lesson builds on the last. If your availability changes, we will match you with another member of the team at the same standard.

Question 6

How long is a driving lesson?

Accepted Answer

Standard lessons are 60 minutes. Many students choose 90-minute or two-hour sessions once they are comfortable, as longer lessons allow more time on test routes and dual carriageways.

Question 7

Do you offer intensive driving courses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Intensive courses start from £499 and are built around your availability, typically running over one to three weeks. They include test preparation and a full mock test.

Question 8

Can I book lessons online?

Accepted Answer

You can. Use the booking form to choose your lesson type, transmission, date and time. We confirm every request by phone or email, usually within a few working hours.

Question 9

Do you help with driving-test preparation?

Accepted Answer

Test preparation is one of our specialities. Sessions cover mock tests, manoeuvre practice, local test routes, hazard awareness and the show-me, tell-me questions.

Question 10

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

We cover Hounslow, Isleworth, Brentford, Chiswick, Twickenham, Richmond, Feltham, Hanworth, Osterley, Ealing and Acton. If you are just outside these areas, check your postcode and we will let you know.

Question 11

Can I change or cancel a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lessons can be rearranged or cancelled free of charge with at least 48 hours' notice. Shorter notice may be chargeable, as your instructor's time has already been reserved for you.

Question 12

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Accepted Answer

We do. Vouchers are available for single lessons or full packages and can be sent by email with a personalised message — a popular 17th-birthday present.
