How many lessons will I need?
The number of lessons you’ll need will depend on your individual circumstances and how quickly you learn. On average, it takes around 40-50 hours to pass the test, but some people may need more or less depending on their previous experience, confidence level, and ability to learn. Bear in mind also that your instructor will only take you for test if they deem you to be ready for it, otherwise they will not allow you to use their vehicle for it.
Do you have female instructors?
Yes, we do have female instructors available. When you book your lessons, you can request a female instructor if you would prefer.
Do you teach test routes?
Your instructor will show you some popular test routes, but they won’t necessarily be the exact routes. Our theory is, when you have finished your training with Shift, you should be able to drive on any road in the United Kingdom. This isn’t to say that your instructor won’t show you any complex roundabouts or hazards in the area though. Its good to know popular landmarks too so you have a good idea of where you are, then you know what to expect.
Is there a long wait for lessons?
We do our best to accommodate all our students’ needs and offer flexible scheduling. However, availability may vary depending on the location and the time of year. Availability at the moment fluctuates quite alot, so you are probably best off giving us a call on 0191 432 4560.
