Gold 45 Questions, Answered

How long does the Gold 45 take to complete?
Your nominated instructor builds a schedule around you. Many learners take the intensive route and finish in a matter of weeks, and you can spread the lessons out if you would prefer a steadier pace.
I've never driven before. Is the Gold 45 right for me?
Yes. The Gold 45 is designed for novice drivers with no experience, and especially for those who feel nervous and would benefit from a little extra time on the road. We build your confidence from the very first lesson.
Is the theory test included?
Yes. Theory test training is included, and we help you book and manage your theory test as part of the package.
Do you pick me up from home?
Yes. Home pickup and drop-off is provided in the majority of locations. Your instructor collects you and drops you back after each session. We cover around 95% of the UK (excluding Northern Ireland).
I get nervous behind the wheel. Can you help?
Definitely. This course is specifically built to support nervous and anxious learners, and those who've had difficult experiences, with a patient, calm pace that shorter courses can't always offer.
What about booking my practical test?
We provide practical test consultation to help you prepare and get test-ready. Please note: from 12 May 2026, driving-test booking services are replaced with driving-test consultation. Get in touch and we'll explain exactly how this works for you.
