The cost depends on:

• Your stage of learning: beginner, intermediate or test-ready learners may need different types of instruction.

• The type of vehicle: in-person lessons and online theory support may be priced differently.

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value for your budget.

Choosing between one-hour and two-hour lessons comes down to your stage of learning.

• Longer lessons: let your instructor introduce a topic, let you practise it, and review it all in one go.
• Shorter sessions: suit complete beginners who may feel mentally tired after intense concentration.
• Progression benefits: as you advance, longer lessons let you simulate real driving conditions including longer journeys.
• Budget and timing: longer lessons reduce travel time for your instructor, which can lower the hourly rate.
