I have heard of a guaranteed pass What is it?

Guaranteed pass courses that some driving schools offer sounds too good to be true doesn't it? Well you're right.

The Guaranteed Pass is a ploy used by some driving schools to entice you to learn with them. Their guarantee offer at best is for a few hours of tuition only. Most of these driving schools don't expect you to take up this offer; if you do you will have to return to them some months later..

How much tuition will I need?

Research by the the Department for Transport shows that a learner taking regular weekly tuition will on average need 45 hours of professional tuition to reach the standard required for the driving test, some will need more.

Regular tuition is assumed to be that the learner is taking 2 - 4 hours professional tuition a week with lots of extra private practice with parents where available.

Learning for some will be easy and natural. They can't understand what the fuss is about. But for others learning to drive will prove to be a harder task.

There are five general learner categories all learners will fall into one of them.

Outstanding,
Fast,
Average,
Below Average
Slow.

By using a number of components an estimate can be given as to the tuition that each type of learner would normally look to take.

The components:

1. How many driving lessons will you take each week -
More lessons a week will mean less lessons
2. Does the learner have previous driving experience -
Motorbike riders have extra road sense
3. Whether extra practice is taken outside of lessons -
Can you practice with your family/friends
4. The quickness in remembering what has been taught -
Read driving books they improve memory
5. The learners age when taking lessons -
From 17 the sooner you start the quicker learning will be

	OUTSTANDING	FAST	AVERAGE	BELOW AVERAGE	SLOW
TUITION HOURS	25	30	45	55	70 PLUS

NOTES

Average tuition figures are taken from Preparing for your Driving Test a DirectGov web site, click the link to take you there..

When calculating a partly trained learner an estimate can be given by reflecting the current standard of driving against tuition previously taken to the proportion of syllabus still to be covered.
