Pre-test driving lessons are aimed at learner drivers with a valid learners’ permit, and in addition have completed their EDT syllabus, if required. A pre-test driving lesson is essential for any student who is serious about passing their practical driving test. Test preparation will make the day much less stressful and will increase your chances of passing your driving test. Additionally, any anxieties or nerves will be calmed by knowing you have done all the necessary training and preparation so you will be confident in tackling any situation the tester challenges you with.

If you have been unsuccessful in your driving test, then the best way to get a pass next time is to take additional driving lessons with a driving school that can assess and identify under-developed areas in your driving. This will give you valuable road experience and the confidence needed to tackle your practical driving test.

I was a horribly anxious driver when I first began and at the start had a couple of experiences which made me very nervous about certain driving situations, such as hills. Michael was always calm, always reassuring, and really helped me calm the nerves in my EDT lessons and pre test lesson – after which I sailed through my test. 🙂 thank you to Michael and Nicola for all your help.
