We’ll save you time and money

We won’t just teach you how to pass your driving test — we’ll help you do it in fewer hours too. Our students pass in 17 hours less than the national average* — a saving of £400!

How do we help our pupils pass so quickly?

Our structured driver training course has three stages:

  1. Learn — first, we’ll cover all basic driving skills within the first 10 hours. We will give you practical experience of all road types, junctions and all the reversing manoeuvres. You won’t just sit in the car and talk!
  2. Develop — then, we’ll be there to support you whilst you practice your new-found skills.
  3. Master — finally, we’ll teach you to make the right driving decisions on your own. You’ll develop the confidence to pass your driving test first time!

Above all else, our motto is: fun gets done! We believe that you will find learning easier if you are relaxed and enjoying your lessons.

How do I find the right driving instructor?

Choosing the right driving instructor can be difficult. Will you like them? Will they be able to work with your learning style? How do you know whether they’ll be any good?

Take us for a test drive

Many other driving academies will tempt you with their block driving lessons deals. But usually, you’ll have to pre-pay for up to 10 hours before you even take your first lesson. This is a lot of money to pay to someone you haven’t even met yet!

That’s why we give you your second hour free when you book your beginners’ two-hour driving lesson with How-2-Drive.

It was my third attempt at the driving test and I decided to switch from my previous instructor to Blair. He was super helpful in identifying my mistakes and guided me through them. Blair was quite supportive in building my confidence on the test date which I passed with no faults. I cannot recommend Blair enough for his teaching abilities with exact assessment and timely corrections of the faults. Many thanks Blair!

I passed first time with my brilliant instructor Richard Lambert. He made driving, a typically nervous experience, something I found very enjoyable. He didn’t just teach me to pass my test but to become a confident driver. I would recommend him to anyone, he was very friendly and I greatly enjoyed our lessons together.

Thanks to the personal and tailored training from Howard I passed all 3 parts of my ADI exams first time. The one on one in car training for parts 2 and 3 is invaluable and was far more suited to my style of learning than the large national franchises. Support is always available when needed and the knowledge base is expanded to the wider ADI community which is an absolute must before attempting a part 3. Couldn’t be happier and couldn’t have done it without all the team at How 2 Drive.

My son passed his test first time with only 4 minors today. He has been taught by Christina Smith, he only started driving in March and she has had so much patience and time for Oscar. He wouldn't have passed today if it wasn't for her calm way of teaching. Would highly recommend Christina to anyone who's child is about to start learning to drive.

I can't recommend Alistair McFarlane at How-2-Drive highly enough. I passed my driving test with only one minor fault, and I couldn't have done it without his patience, support and excellent teaching. After I failed my first test, I completely lost confidence, but Alistair never gave up on me. He helped me work on the areas I struggled with, especially roundabouts and lane discipline, and always explained things clearly without making me feel pressured. Every lesson was professional, calm and encouraging, and he adapted each lesson to what I needed most. Thanks to his guidance, I became not only a confident driver but a safe one too. Thank you, Alistair, for believing in me even when I doubted myself. Passing with just one minor fault means the world to me, and I'll always be grateful. I would highly recommend Alistair McFarlane and How-2-Drive to anyone looking for a fantastic driving instructor

Do you offer intensive driving courses?

Yes! We offer intensive driving lessons in both the Greater Norwich area and the Lowestoft and Yarmouth areas.

How long will it take to pass my practical test?

If you are a complete beginner, we can teach you how to drive to a high standard in about 30 hours. By this point you’ll be ready to pass your UK practical test.

If you’re a learner driver who already has some road experience, we’ll aim to do it even quicker than that!

How many driving lessons will I need before I take my test?

This is easily one of the most common questions we get asked at How-2-Drive.

We know you want to learn how to drive in as few lessons as possible. We understand that you don’t want to feel rushed. But, at the same time, you also don’t want your tuition to drag on for longer than necessary.

Clearly-structured driving lessons

By using our Structured Driver Training System, we are able to deliver well-planned lessons that have clear objectives. Learning to drive is a considerable investment and we want you to get good value for your money.

According to the DVSA, it takes an average of 47 hours to pass the practical driving test. And that’s for learners who are sensible enough to study with an Approved Driving Instructor. On top of this, the DVSA says an additional 20 hours of private driving practice is also required.

How many sessions can we save you?

But who wants to be average? As a result of our specially-designed Structured Driver Training System, our pupils take 17 hours less than the DVSA average!

Our tried-and-tested system can reduce the time it will take you to learn to drive. We consistently bring our pupils up to pass standard within 30 to 40 hours of instructor contact time.

That’s up to 17 hours less than the average learner driver. We can save you time and money!

How will I know how I’m getting on with my lessons?

You will be given access to our How-2-Drive app when you start taking driving lessons with us.

Your instructor will use it to record your progress after each lesson. This will give you a record of how well you are doing and what you need to learn or practice next.

You will also be encouraged to keep a reflective log. You can use this to review your own learning so that you can discuss your objectives with your driving instructor at the start of each lesson.

Will you help me with my UK theory test?

Yes, we will! We’ll give you our FREE Theory Test App which will allow you to learn at your own pace. 

But, theory is nothing without practice! So, during your practical driving lessons, we’ll bring the theory you’ve learned to life!

We generally recommend taking your theory test as soon as possible. This way, it won’t hold you back when your instructor tells you you’re ready to book your practical test.

Read our guide to preparing for your driving theory test to get started!

Will you pick me up from work or college and drop me home?

Yes, of course – provided its within our local area and you make your instructor aware before your lesson.

*According to the DVSA (the people who set the driving test) it takes on average 47 hours of driving lessons and another 20 hours of private practice to pass the UK driving test.

By using our structured driver training system, we help our learners pass after an average of just 30 hours of driving lessons – that’s 17 hours fewer than the DVSA average!
