The following is a list of all the subjects we will cover in your driving lessons. People are individuals and not everyone will learn in this particular order, things like the area we live in might also dictate the order.

​

This is the 'learn to drive syllabus': you will need to be driving independently in all of these areas before you sit a driving test.

​

If you have previous experience, I will assess your driving ability in all of these areas to be able to find our start point for your lessons.
