Driving Lessons FAQ at Square Driving School
What will I need?
To start taking driving lessons, you'll need a provisional license and must also meet the minimum eyesight requirements. For more information, including details about driving test booking and potential driving school discounts, visit the gov.uk website.
How long will the lesson be?
All our driving lessons have a lesson duration of two hours. Unfortunately, our driving school does not offer 60-minute lessons, but we do provide various driving school discounts and assistance with your driving test booking once you are ready with your provisional license.
How many lessons will I need?
The DVSA recommends an average of 40 hours of driving lessons, along with an additional 20 hours of private practice, although this may vary for each individual, as everyone learns differently. If you're looking for driving school discounts, it's beneficial to explore options that could help offset the lesson duration. When you're ready, don't forget about the importance of a proper driving test booking once you have your provisional license.
How much will it cost and do you do any discounts?
Please visit our prices page to find the current prices for our driving lessons. We offer attractive driving school discounts for block bookings, with greater savings as the lesson duration increases. Additionally, new drivers with a provisional license can take advantage of our beginners discount, even if they have no prior experience.

Do I need to have completed my theory test before booking lessons?
No, you can complete your theory test after starting your driving lessons at our driving school, even benefiting from driving school discounts. This flexibility allows you to schedule your driving test booking at your convenience, regardless of your lesson duration, as long as you hold a provisional license.
Is there a long wait before starting lesson?
We always strive to accommodate our students’ needs for driving lessons. Availability varies based on the area you live in and the day and times you are available for lessons. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for more details, including information on driving school discounts, lesson duration, and driving test booking for those with a provisional license.
How and when should I book a driving test?
Your instructor will assess your driving during your driving lessons to help you determine the optimal timing for driving test booking. It's important to discuss this with your instructor first, especially if you're considering driving school discounts or need to coordinate around your provisional license and lesson duration.
