Go! Driving Tuition FAQ's

Q) Who is “go! driving tuition” ??

A) We are an independent driving school covering the UK providing llessons in many cities , and "Intensive residential" courses to anyone in the UK.

To check if we cover your location please use the postcode price finder on the prices page of the website

We are growing constantly and demand to become a "go!" instructor is only matched by the huge demand for our lessons!! We only use the new shape Mini as this has become our "standard" and our brand. Not only are they the most exciting, cool car in its class they are extremely safe.

Q) What do I need to start taking lessons ??

A) A valid licence…in most cases that will be a UK provisional licence (old or new style) or an International licence, or in some circumstances a foreign licence which entitles the holder to 12 months permitted driving in the UK. More information can be found by looking at the DVLA official website.

Q) Do I need to have passed my theory test before I have a lesson ??

A) Absolutely not !! We recommend you look to study for your Theory test asap but it is not essential for your practical driving lessons. You will need to have passed the Theory test before you can book your Practical driving test however. (To be eligible for one of our “Intensive Courses” you will also have had to have passed your Theory Test otherwise we cannot book your Driving Test to coincide with the course.)

Q) Can I be picked up from home / work / university ???

A) Yes of course, we may even be able to drop you off after your lesson at a different location…within reason of course !!

Q) Will I keep the same instructor and tuition car for all my lessons??

A) Yes, we believe that continuity is one of the keys to successful learning. Of course our cars get replaced and updated in time, but we only use the new Mini’s and so it would be a like for like swap anyway.

Q) How long do the driving lessons last ?

A) Our standard lessons vary between 1 , 1.5 and 2 hours, which ever suits your needs towards the timescale you have set to reach driving test standard.
However our “intensive” courses can see lessons lasting anything up to 7 hours in one day, with a few breaks of course. See the “Intensive” page for more details.

Q) Will I be the only pupil in the car??

A) Absolutely, the practise of “piggy backing” (where the instructor picks up their next client before the current lesson has finished) is totally unacceptable and all our instructors know that doing this would mean a serious breach of their contract with us.

Q) When do I pay for lessons??

A) If you are paying as you go (1 lesson at a time) then you should ensure you have the funds to pay your instructor at the start of each lesson.
If you are enjoying the discount gained through a block booking, or an “intensive” course then payment MUST have been made prior to the first of those lessons commencing.

Q) How do I pay for lessons??

A) We accept Cash, Cheques and all major Debit and Credit Cards. Payment for individual lessons should be made direct to your instructor, any bulk payment should be made to “go! driving tuition” for added security. - We can also provide gift vouchers if you are paying for someone else to learn to drive.

Q) Do you have female and male instructors??

A) Yes we do, and we welcome you stating a preference when you make your initial booking. It may not always be possible to meet your request however dependant on location and the urgency of the need for your lessons.

Q) Do you provide weekend and evening lessons ??

A) Yes, we recognise that some peoples lifestyles and work commitments dictate their availability for driving lessons.

Q) How will I be able to judge my progress whilst learning ??

A) We use our own specially designed Pupil Record cards - Which incorporate the Driving Standards Agency recommended learning syllabus as well as details of all your past and future lessons. These cards are yours to keep and to show others who may be interested in how well things are going !

Q) If I have had lessons already with another driving school will I be forced to “start again”?

A) No, we will assess your skills and knowledge during your first lesson with us and match our level of instruction to your needs.

We recognise this list is not exhaustive and welcome any questions regarding our driving school that you may have, whether its prior to booking a lesson or at any stage of the learning process.
