Then our Platinum / Gold courses are best for you if you have no experience in driving a car. These courses are designed to help you cover all of the driving topics and help you become a test standard and will help boost your confidence on the wheel. Book now as it is better to book early to secure more preferable dates!

Intermediate – Our Silver courses are suited for learners who have had some practice or lessons a while ago. These intermediate courses are designed to help you pick up where you left off so you can continue your driving journey. 

Experienced – For experienced drivers, you usually need our Bronze courses. If you have failed your driving test recently and need an assessment of your current driving ability, then these courses will be best for you. These courses are intended to overview your driving and go over any bad habits prior to your driving test.

Booking a practical test is impossible until you’ve passed your theory test. So theory test is as important as the practical.
