Hourly driving lessons with
Leader School of Driving
  Lessons :  
   We conduct lessons from 1 hour to 4 hours depending on your ability and experience. All the lessons on this page will be on a one-to-one basis with no other learner driver in the car.

 

 
One Hour Lessons per week : 
  More for a pupil who wants to take their time before applying for a practical test. from complete novice to test standard you will be looking at a period of 6 to 12 months of lessons before your test.  
Two Hour Lessons per week :
  More for a pupil who wants to get the driving lessons out of the way and pass their test fairly quickly, also a two hour lesson gives you more time to practice your manoeuvres at the early stages of your driving. From novice to test standard you will be looking at a period of 13 Weeks to 6 months of lessons before your test.  
Four Hour Lessons per week :  
  More for a pupil who may already have a practical test booked, because of the short time delay from their test, they will be looking to put in that extra effort to be ready for the big day. From novice to test standard, you will be looking at a period of 6 to 15 Weeks of lessons before your test.  
     
Which type of lessons do I want to book ? 
  If you are not 100% sure on which lessons to book, why not book an assessment lesson which will last for 2 Hrs. At the end of the assessment your instructor will advise you on which lessons will suit you most for your driving needs.  
How many hours will I need to do to get to test standard ?

The Driving Standards Agency advise to allow between one and half and two hours practical training for every year of your life and taking into account your age.

This tends to be somewhat less when learning intensively. e.g. 18 years of age would require a minimum of 27 hours of individual lessons, about 6 months or more one hour lessons per week. On a two hour lesson per week course this would equate to a minimum of a  13 week course with no experience. With approximately 12 hours previous training this could be reduced down to a 7 week course.

At the age of 40 a learner driver would be expected to take in excess of 60 hours, over 12 months of one hour weekly lessons. On a 4 hour per week course this would be reduced to approximately a 15  week course depending on any previous experience this may be reduced more.

 

  figures below or based upon a 20 year old who would require a minimum of 30 hours of individual lessons as a novice driver, but depending on previous experience this may be reduced. look at the table below :-  
Previous experience : Advised minimum course length :
