FAQs

How much are lessons with CBDT?

Prices vary depending upon your requirements. Lessons start from 2 hours on a Pay-As-You-Go basis. Block bookings are also cheaper than 2 hour lessons. Block of 10 or 20 hours are available. The more you book the cheaper your lesson becomes. See our website for current prices.

How many driving lessons will I need to take?

Driving is a skill that some people learn quicker than others. The Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency states that on average a person requires approximately 45 hours of professional lessons combined with approximately 20 hours of private practice. Your instructor will monitor your progress at the end of each lesson and from this you will be able to assess how near test standard you are.

When I pass my test does CBDT provide further courses?

Yes. CBDT can deliver a six hour training course designed to improve your skills in specific areas, such as; motorways & dual carriageways, night driving, adverse weather, car & skid control, long distance journeys, rural areas & towns. This type of course is very popular with students who have recently passed their driving test and wish to quickly build their confidence if they plan to drive regularly or are required to drive in connection with their job. We can also provide training for students wishing to take their current skills to the next level with an advanced driver training course.
