Absolutely! We have automatic instructors covering the following parts of Norfolk:
- Norwich: our Norwich automatic team now covers the city itself and the surrounding area up to a 10-mile radius from the city centre.
- Great Yarmouth: our Yarmouth school of motoring has recently expanded and now offers automatic driving lessons in Yarmouth and Gorleston.
- Wymondham: we also have a small, but perfectly formed, team offering automatic driving tuition in the Wymondham and Attleborough areas.
Yes! We offer intensive driving lessons in both the Greater Norwich area and the Lowestoft and Yarmouth areas.
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!
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!
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.
We’re delighted to offer discounts to our learner drivers:
- To get you started, you’ll get your second hour free when you book your beginner’s two-hour lesson.
- Then – once you’re satisfied we can help you pass – we’ll knock £2 off every hour when you buy a block of 10 hours in one go.

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.
