It totally depends on your skills and learning abilities. We show you the safest and the most practical way to learn to drive, but every learner is different. After the first couple of lessons, the instructor will give you their professional opinion as to how many lessons you will need in order to pass your practical test.

You will not need as many lessons as a beginner.

Also, the standard of driving required to pass your practical test in this country is probably the highest in the world. If you have been driving for a few years, the likelihood is that you have developed bad habits. To pass the practical test you need to correct them. That is where the driving lessons come in. We recommend you take an assessment lesson to begin with, and then take at least one lesson per week to brush up on your skills and get rid of those bad habits. At the same time start preparing for your theory test. There are some links in RMS website to help you with this. Once the theory test is passed, book your practical test and carry on with your lessons until the test date. This way you will probably pass the practical test first time.

So if you can afford it, try and take the recommended amount of lessons before your test as this way you will stand a better chance of passing it first time.

There is no exact figure as to how many driving lessons you will need, as this varies from person to person and their driving skills and learning abilities.
