One of the most common questions new drivers ask is: “How many driving lessons do I need before I can pass my test?” The answer isn’t always straightforward, as every learner is different. However, with the right instructor, structured lessons, and some self-practice, you’ll be ready sooner than you might think.
At Acorn School of Motoring, we’ve helped hundreds of learners across Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, Blackburn, Preston, Darwen, and Nelson gain the skills and confidence to pass their driving test. Let’s explore what really affects how many lessons you’ll need—and how to get the most from every hour behind the wheel.

The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) suggests that most people need around 45 hours of professional instruction plus 20 hours of private practice to become test-ready.
But in reality, some learners pass in 20 hours and others may need 50+. What makes the difference? Several key factors play a role.
Some people pick up driving quickly, while others take more time to feel comfortable with clutch control, gear changes, or roundabouts. Everyone learns at their own pace.
Taking one lesson per week is common, but taking two or more sessions weekly often helps learners retain information and progress faster.
If you’re learning in a manual car in Oswaldtwistle or Accrington, you’ll likely need a few more hours than someone taking automatic driving lessons in Preston or Blackburn. That’s because manual cars require mastering clutch control, gears, and stalling.
Anxious learners or those who lack focus may need more hours to build confidence. At Acorn, we provide supportive and patient instructors to make you feel at ease.
If you have access to a car for supervised practice, you’ll likely reduce the number of paid lessons required. Practice makes progress.
We offer flexible lesson formats to suit every learner:
1 Hour – £38.00
2 Hours – £76.00
10 Hours – £360.00
1 Hour – £38.00
2 Hours – £76.00
10 Hours – £360.00
10 Hours (2–4 days) – £610.00
15 Hours (2–6 days) – £860.00
More packages available up to 45 hours
If you want to learn quickly and pass within weeks in winter, summer and other seasons our crash courses in Nelson, Darwen, and Oswaldtwistle are the best solution.
