At LPOD Academy, we place equal importance on both the theoretical and practical aspects of driving because mastering the theory is the foundational step in every learner’s journey. While many learners may find using a theory guide or an app sufficient, these resources alone might not always be adequate, potentially leading to delays in passing the theory test.

To enhance your preparation, all of our intensive driving courses in Giffnock include access to our comprehensive video-based theory course at no extra cost. This course is designed to boost your understanding and confidence in handling the theory test effectively.

Please note that Giffnock itself does not host a theory test centre. The closest facility where you can take your theory test is located in Greenock.
