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.
You can find more info on the FAQ page of our website.

If you want to just pass your test in 3 weeks, Andrew is not the instructor for you. However if you actually want to learn how to drive properly and feel safe when doing so I cannot recommend him more. Andrew is a professional, always on time, gives you a reminder 24 hours before your lesson and is always consistent. He has a set progression plan which he explains at the start of your course. I had to take my test early because of work reasons, and passed first time with only two minors. His lesson fees are normal for the area and he only does 1.5 Hr slots. Overall he is a top bloke and I would highly recommend.
