As many as they think they can get away with charging you i suspect! Aj is an instructor, he should give you a qualified opinion. It took me 9 lessons mate.

aj on the board

both my uncle and aunt are also driving instructors

the main problem you are going to have is getting a test booked before the date you've set yourself, and aj is probably the man to ask for that, there was a thing where you had to wait to pass your theory before you could book your test, but some places will give you a quick course thing for a week and thenput your forward so you can get your license in that week if you pay the money

Hi mate.
Knowing how to drive a car & knowing how to drive a car to test standard are two different things.

If you know all the basics & you're good at picking things up then providing you've got a good instructor it shouldn't take you too long, as Dojj said getting a test booked is what can take a while (it's anything up to 10 weeks waiting time at the moment depending on where you're taking your test)

Have you got any lessons booked with an instructor yet mate?
