How long will it take?
The entire process usually takes about 10 weeks, but it depends on how fast the DVLA processes your provisional license. If the DVLA processes your license faster than the 5-week average, we can accelerate your training.

The total cost is £2,650 which includes all DVSA test fees and VAT.
What payment options do I have?
Candidates can opt to pay the entire fee upfront or make a non-refundable £250 deposit when booking. If you choose the deposit option, the remaining £2,400 is required 21 days before your first practical training day. The deposit covers the costs of securing driver medicals and DVSA theory tests.

What Happens After I Book?
Immediately after booking, you’ll receive an email confirming your order and providing details of your medical appointment.
Following the medical, we’ll initiate the process of obtaining your provisional license. This step may take several weeks for processing by the DVLA, so we recommend utilising this time for studying the theory, hazard perception, and CPC Module 2 tests.
Upon receiving your provisional license, we can schedule your theory tests. Once successfully completed, practical training can commence.
We are committed to accommodating your schedule for both training and testing to the best of our ability.
