    DVSA Recommendation: A Good Starting Point

    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.

    What Affects the Number of Driving Lessons You’ll Need?

    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.

    Lesson Frequency

    Taking one lesson per week is common, but taking two or more sessions weekly often helps learners retain information and progress faster.

    Type of Lessons: Manual vs Automatic

    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.

    Confidence & Focus

    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.

    Driving Practice Outside of Lessons

    If you have access to a car for supervised practice, you’ll likely reduce the number of paid lessons required. Practice makes progress.
