Learn at Your Own Pace

Everyone learns differently.

Some learners gain confidence quickly, while others need more time and practice before moving on to a new skill.

Your lessons will be adapted to your individual progress. We'll work on the areas you need most while gradually introducing new skills when you're ready.

You won't be expected to know everything straight away.

Automatic Driving Can Make Learning Simpler

This can allow you to concentrate more on developing other important driving skills, including:

1. Observation
2. Road positioning
3. Speed control
4. Planning
5. Hazard awareness
6. Junctions
7. Traffic awareness

For many beginners, this can make the learning process feel more manageable.

The aim is to help you develop good driving habits from the beginning rather than simply teaching you how to pass a test.

Track Your Progress With Total Drive

Your progress can be supported through the Total Drive app.

This allows you to keep track of the skills you're developing throughout your lessons and understand the areas you're currently working on.

It provides a useful way to see your progress as you work towards becoming a confident, independent driver.

Preparing for Your Driving Test

This includes:

1. Independent driving
2. Junctions and roundabouts
3. Appropriate speed and positioning
4. Observation and planning
