01.Location
It's much easier to show up when your driving school isn't far away. It matters a lot if you're spending weekends or evenings in the theory classroom.
Find a driving school
It can be hard to pick a driving school — especially when there are so many to choose from.
Want to be sure?
A big part of making a big decision is trusting your gut.
You can ask your friends for advice — going to class with people you know can be fun and helpful, so you can support each other on the way to passing.
But don't let your friends' choices sway your own.
Here are some things to consider when picking a driving school:
02.Pass rate
Not every school publishes its pass rate, but it's worth looking for — it gives you a sense of what other students have got out of choosing that school.
03.Who's the instructor?
Be ready to spend a lot of hours with your instructor — both in the classroom and behind the wheel. Things flow better when the chemistry is good, you feel heard, and you're challenged enough to learn what you need. Contact a couple of nearby schools and talk to the instructor before you choose.
04.Reviews
Can you really trust Trustpilot? Mostly yes — checking reviews on the school's site is a good rule of thumb, and it doesn't hurt to Google them too. You'll find plenty of info on social media. We also recommend attending an info session, which most schools host regularly, so you know what you're getting into.
05.Class times
Schools choose their own theory class schedule. Pay attention to whether you're sharpest in the evening, right after school/work, or whether you'd rather pack it all into the weekend. If you're in school, watch how much it might affect your attendance.
06.The school car
You'll spend at least 16 lessons behind the wheel. The best car to learn in is one that's easy to drive, doesn't have huge blind spots, and has the extra equipment that helps you learn properly.
07.Sustainability
Many schools now run a green profile. If you care about the environment and sustainability, it makes sense to weigh that in. How much it matters is up to you.
08.Price
Using price as the deciding factor when picking a school doesn't make much sense. Look at this only if you've narrowed it down to two or three places and still can't pick. Note that prices on school sites are always a guide — the final price depends on the individual student's needs.
One last thing to consider when picking a driving school
In the end, trust your gut when picking an instructor. It's all about trust — are you comfortable with the person who'll teach you to drive in real traffic?
You'll boost your chances of success if you attend a couple of info sessions before picking a school.
Yes, it's nice to take your licence with friends, but you may have different needs — and that's totally fine.
Pick the school that matches you and your needs. Your friends will find one that fits them.
