Driving is an essential skill that can help you achieve independence and freedom. You might want to learn how to drive, whether you commute to work, pick up your kids from school, or simply because you want to make getting from A to B more easy. You can count on our friendly, professional driving instructors to help you. Your instructor will conduct an introductory chat with you to discover your driving experience and current driving abilities. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t had any driving lessons previously as the majority of our customers have never taken driving lessons previously either. During the chat, they will check your provisional driving licence and do an eye exam. Then, they will go over the basics of the car that you will be learning in. Local Gipton driving instructors know the area better than anyone. Your driving lesson will be held in quiet surroundings away from any traffic so that you can slowly improve your confidence with driving. The basics of driving, including how to steer and control the clutch, as well as moving off and stopping, will be covered first. As you gain driving proficiency, you’ll be faced with new challenges. Your instructor will plan each lesson carefully so that you have the opportunity to drive through many junctions, roundabouts, pedestrian crossings in an easy-to-remember setting. Bad habits are difficult to break, so it’s important that you learn how to drive safely as soon as you start learning to drive. Our driving instructors are trained to help you be safe on the roads and pass your driving test. They have extensive experience and knowledge of driving that they will use to help make you a confident and safer driver. Your instructor will give you a written record detailing your driving progress. Your progress report will detail all topics you need to know to be a safe and confident driver. These include techniques such as parallel parking, turning in the road (3-point turn), reversing around a corner, and an emergency stop. It will show you your current stage and how much you have still to learn.

If you’re looking for a quick way to pass your driving test in order to obtain your licence, intensive driving lessons might be the right choice. We offer intensive driving courses in Gipton with many instructors with the expertise and knowledge to make it easy for you to pass your driving test quickly. A driving intensive course can be a great way to either start learning to drive, or if you are just wanting to refresh your skills before taking your driving test. We can offer intensive lessons from two hours a day to several days of back-to-back lessons. We can also be flexible to meet your needs.

Book an Intensive Driving Course

Even though intensive driving courses in Gipton can be quite demanding, you may find the results to be well worth it if your goal is to pass your driving test quickly. They are the fastest and most affordable way to pass your driving test. Lessons are longer than the standard hourly lesson on an intensive driving course because the course is only spread out over a couple of days or weeks, as opposed to being spread across a few months. A two-day intensive driving class will provide 10 hours of instruction instead of the usual 1 hour per week. For those with no driving experience, there are longer intensive courses to ensure you get enough tuition. The DSA recommends that every driving student should take at least 40 hours of professional driving instruction before sitting for the driving test. Alternative options include booking weekly driving lessons. This route is fine. However, it can take 4 to 6 months to pass your driving test if your weekly lesson lasts for a total of 2 hours. A 1-hour lesson per week will take 8 to 12 months. Due to your driving lessons being once a week there is a good chance that you’ll spend a lot time re-capping previous lessons.

Driving an automatic car is not necessarily any easier, it depends on the issues you are having. It won’t make much of a difference to you if you have a common issue like observation. Driving in an automatic is a good option if your problems with clutch control or gear changing. Driving in urban areas with lots congestion it is easier. It is a stop-start driving style that means you’ll be changing gears constantly. This can be an issue for experienced drivers as well as those who are learning to drive a manual vehicle. You can take your driving test in an automatic car, eliminating the possibility of the car stalling and any clutch control problems. A learner will have a lot less difficulty with driving manoeuvres, such as turning in the road or starting from a hill due to no gears or clutch control required. If you have trouble managing the gears in a manual vehicle, you might find that learning to drive an automatic car is easier. This could mean you take fewer lessons to pass your test and receive your driving license.

Are There Any Downsides To Driving An Automatic Car?

As stated above, automatic cars tend be more expensive than manual cars to purchase, run and maintain. Automatic driving lessons can also be more costly than manual lessons because of this. Another downside of learning to drive an automatic vehicle is that when you pass your driving test in an automatic, it doesn’t mean you can also drive a manual car. Your licence will allow both if you pass your manual driving test. This means that if you are taking your driving test in an automatic car, it may limit your options when renting or buying a car in the future. Also, if later you decide you would prefer to drive manual cars, then you’ll need to take another driving test. The pass rates for automatic cars are typically lower than those for manual cars. Don’t let it discourage you! Every year, thousands of learners pass driving tests in automatic car.

Do you want a new challenge and the freedom to be your boss? Then becoming a Gipton driving instructor might just be exactly what you are looking for.

There is a large backlog of people interested in learning to drive, which makes it a perfect time to become a driving instructor. It doesn’t matter if you do not have any previous driving instructor experience. The requirements include that you must be 21 or older, have had a driver’s license for at least three years, not had more than five penalty points in the last four years, and want to find a job that gives you the freedom to make your own decisions or earn more money and do something that you always wanted to.

It is a good idea to first have a read through the official DVSA guidelines before you become a driving instructor. Your training to become a qualified driving instructor will usually take around 12 months. It will take a minimum of 6 months to complete your driving instructor training, that is if you pass everything on your first attempt, which is highly unlikely.

The DVSA set the driving instructor certification requirements and there are three tests that you need to pass. The tests are challenging so that the people who pass can be fully prepared to teach others how to drive. Like any adult learning course, being a driving instructor takes dedication and hard work. You can pass the test with the right attitude, determination, and drive. Then, you can begin your career as driving instructor.

Driving Lessons Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better: manual or automatic lessons?

Your choice of a manual or an automatic car will depend on your preference. However, a manual driving licence allows you to drive both manual cars and automatic cars. An automatic driving licence allows you to only drive automatic cars. As you don't need to learn about clutch control and gears, the amount of lessons required to pass an automatic test is less. However, you should remember that automatic cars are more expensive to buy and the driving insurance is more expensive as well.

What are some things the driving examiner might ask me to do before I take my driving exam?

They will first inspect the car to make sure it is properly equipped for safe driving on the roads. Things such as sounding the horn, turning on your parking lights, headlights and hazard lights. Pressing the brake to check that the lights are working. Before they begin the test, they will also check that your seatbelts are in good working order.

How long will I drive during my driving test?

Before you can drive independently, your practical driving test will require an eye exam and safety questions. The driving test should take approximately 40 - 50 minutes.

How many lessons do you need for automatic?

In most cases, that would be approximately 22 or 23 driving lessons (taken in 2 hour intervals). We hold the same view, which applies to automatic driving lessons, that it will take more or less the same time to pass your driving test.

Do driving instructors pay for fuel?

Expenses Will Cut into Your Earnings as an Instructor There is no way around it. A driving instructor is a business and a business naturally has expenses. One of the biggest expenses for a driving instructor week to week (excluding franchise fees) is usually fuel costs.

Is it quicker to learn in automatic?

An automatic is usually easier to learn in – all you need to do is put your car in 'D' for 'drive' and off you go. Manual cars will usually have up to 5 gears and you'll need to make sure you're in the right gear for the speed and road conditions you are driving in.

If I answer any of the questions incorrectly, will I be fail my driving test?|

While you won't fail your practical driving exam if you get one or two questions wrong you will be penalised with 1 minor driving offence. A test failure will be issued if you score 16 or more minor driving faults, one serious or one dangerous fault.

Is a driving instructor a sole trader?

Most driving instructors are self-employed and as such are normally sole traders. They take all the risks and as such are able to keep all the business profits.

How hard is it to pass an automatic driving test?

The gulf between automatic pass rates and the overall average is stark. In fact, pass rates for candidates taking their test in an automatic car has never exceeded 40%. Considering automatic cars' reputation of being easier to drive, these stats may come as a shock.

Is there a demand for driving instructors?

There is now, unfortunately, a national shortage of driving instructors not just due to the unprecedented demand but also because possibly as many as 15 percent of the nation's instructors have left the industry as a result of the pandemic.

How many miles a year does a driving instructor do?

The average annual mileage is around 30000 (to compare this to average mileage on small cars used for pleasure at around 10000 this is very high). So on average as instructors we may have to change our cars every 3 years or so… the costs on buying add up all the time.
