Need to Pass Quickly?
If you need to pass quickly, our crash and intensive courses condense all your lessons into a very short period of time. Once your assessment is done we will know approximately how many lessons are required. Everyone is different, so some may require 10 lessons and some may require a complete 40 lesson course for beginners.
If a crash course is not your thing our weekly lesson plan may suit you more. We still give you a targeted test date but teach you on a weekly basis. If you already have lessons with another school we take them into consideration.
Where To Take Your Test
We normally take the test in the areas that are most local for you. We operate tests all across the Wirral, including Upton, Wallasey and more. Your instructor will teach you in the area where your test is booked and most local for you.
