4 Steps to Getting a Licence

1. Getting Your Provisional Licence

Before you can start your Driving Lessons you need to have your provisional driving licence. You can apply for this when you are 15 years and 9 months old. But you can’t start driving a car until you are 17 years old. (exceptions apply.) You can do that by clicking here:

3. Book Your Theory Test

Next you need to be thinking about booking your theory test. If you haven’t already started studying for this, now is the time! Our DVSA approved Driving Instructors will be able to help you learn the Highway code whilst you’re out and about on the road and answer any questions you may have. But, you’ll need to do your own practice too! Through our free Driving Genie app, you’ll have the opportunity to sign up for Theory Test training.
