Before your first lesson, there are a few things every learner needs to sort out.

• Provisional licence: you need this before you can drive on public roads or book lessons.
• Theory test: covers road rules and hazard perception, and must be passed before the practical test.
• Practical lessons: hands-on sessions with an instructor covering car control, manoeuvres and road awareness.
• 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.
