Learning to drive starts with a few key steps before you get behind the wheel.

• Provisional licence: you need this before you can drive on public roads or book lessons.
• Theory test: a multiple-choice and hazard perception exam that comes before the practical.
• Practical lessons: where you build real driving skills with guidance from a qualified instructor.
• Practice hours: regular practice between lessons helps skills stick faster.

A qualified instructor structures your lessons so you build skills in the right order.
