Hawkwell driving schools : DSA Approved Driving Instructor:   driving lessons- hourly - intensive - pass plus - advanced

 

Weekly lessons:
This is the way most people will learn to drive, by doing a driving lesson each week, and we can offer you one-hour lessons, one-and-a-half hour, or two-hour lessons.

Over the many years Alan has been teaching he has found that a single hour per week is the least cost effective way of learning because it provides far too little time in the car for most people, and by the time you have settled in the lesson will be all over.

So we recommend that you try to take either one-and-a-half, or two-hour driving lessons whenever possible, because these improve your ability to concentrate over longer periods, and give you time to practice many more things each time you drive. You will have time to recap on the previous week, settle back into driving again, experience new routes, and practice your manoeuvres.

Leading up to your test two hour lessons become essential so that you are able to spend sufficient time getting used to driving on test routes, and doing mock tests.

 

Intensive Courses:
We have developed a high pass-rate, practical, and effective type of intensive course which can be arranged for you if you need to pass your driving test in a short time, perhaps for work reasons or because your theory test 2 year period is running out.

As driving test waiting list times are about 6 weeks your intensive driving course would normaly be conducted over that period. You may find that this may be two 2-hour driving lessons a week, or maybe more or less depending on your ability. All this can be arranged around your work, or college, and can also include weekends if you require.

As your driving course progresses the intensity of your driving lessons can be adjusted to suit your needs. This flexibility gives you the best possible opportunity to pass your driving test at the end of the course, and is why Alan has such an excellent driving test first time pass rate.

 

Mock driving tests
To prepare you thoroughly for your real driving test, whether you are doing weekly lessons, or an intensive course, we will conduct a number of practice driving tests with you.

This is so that you can get used to being in the test situation; where you must make correct decisions, without any assistance, when you need to.

Doing mock tests means that you will be much more likely to pass your real DSA test first time, because you will feel much more confident in the test situation, the format will be familiar, and you will thoroughly understand the marking system.

Independent driving test assessments:
If you are learning with another driving school, and want an independent assessment of your progress, we can arrange a mock test for you. This will provide you with a 45 minute mock test around an appropriate test route, a thorough debrief, and a written report. We can do this as a one-off service, in complete confidence.
