Driving Lessons After Lockdown 3.0

Editor's note: This post is from February 2021 and is kept as an archive. Lessons and tests are fully back to normal — though the tips below on preparing before your lessons start are still spot on today.

When will driving lessons start again?

According to the government's roadmap out of lockdown, driving lessons are set to return no earlier than 14th April 2021. We're currently planning and booking driving lessons based on that date, pending DVSA confirmation.

When will driving tests start again?

As with lessons, driving tests are set to return on 14th April 2021, though the DVSA may delay the restart to give learners a chance to prepare. If you already had a test booked, the DVSA will automatically move it to a new date.

Will I have to wait for driving lessons?

Most likely, is the unfortunate answer. With lessons only taking place for 5 months in the past year, there are a lot of learners waiting. We're doing our best to fit everyone in — and aiming to have a few new instructors on the road soon.

What can I do whilst waiting for driving lessons?

These tips are timeless — they'll help you pass quicker whenever you start:

• Take your theory test. Passing it early means your practical test can be planned from day one of lessons. All our pupils get free theory practice.
• Watch our online tutorials. They prepare you for lessons and help you learn faster once you're in the car — find them here.
• Save up for driving lessons. Having a lesson fund means no gaps once you start, and might mean you can afford more than one lesson a week — which speeds everything up.
