What can I do before my first lesson to help me prepare?

Hi and welcome to your pre lesson prep, your first step to getting a full driving licence!

The first thing you need, before your lesson can take place, is to generate a licence check code.  This lets your instructor check your licence without you needing to share personal information.  You can find out how to do this on the below link.  Once you've done this please send the code to your instructor.

Take a bit of time to think about how you like to learn. 

     
Do you like to just give it a go?

Does a demonstration work for you?

Would you like to read up on a subject before you work on the practical side of it?

Do you like pictures, text, a verbal talk through or none of that?


Understanding how you learn is a massive help when learning a new skill or technique.


The guides below will help give you a basic understanding of what you may cover on your first lesson.  You could following up your reading by researching videos on the below subjects or by asking fellow drivers for their thoughts.  Reading things often doesn't work for a lot of us, in fact very few learners would chose this as their preferred learning method.  Do what works for you.

Happy reading and remember if you're not sure about anything or have some questions just give me a bell or drop me a text on 07934860469.
