• Provisional licence: this is the first document you'll need, applied for online or by post.
• Theory test: covers road rules and hazard perception, and must be passed before the practical test.
• Practical lessons: where you build real driving skills with guidance from a qualified instructor.
• Practice hours: most learners need around 45 hours of lessons plus extra private practice.

With the right guidance, you'll feel road-ready much sooner.

Several factors influence the price:
