Choosing the right driving school sounds like a pretty easy task, but with so many to choose from and so many options of what you want, it can be quite hard. This article will help you navigate these waters and provide some advice on things to consider when choosing your driving school. Firstly, consider your budget and how much money you are willing to spend. Also, think about the time frame in which you want to learn. Depending on these two factors, you may be able to choose from a large number of driving schools or only one.

Once you have made a list of the schools that fit into your budget, it is time to start considering what other things suit your needs as a learner driver. Do you want a private, group, or independent driving school? These are very important, as they all vary in their approach and training methods. Private schools cater for drivers who want to learn the ‘real’ road and are usually more expensive. This is because they run their own fleet of cars that they use to teach the students, thus removing the risks of someone else driving them around. 

Group schools run larger classes, but do not charge as much as private schools. This is because they are paying their instructors less money, and also have more students to split the class seating between.  Independent schools can teach you to drive your own car, which may be cheaper than hiring another car. However, some independent schools charge per lesson rather than per hour of instruction. 

If you are considering driving with your own car, make sure that the instructor has experience teaching in a variety of different cars, to ensure that you receive a high-quality service. In addition to the above, you may also want a school that offers you the chance to get a license in the shortest amount of time possible. Finally, make sure you ask for references and make inquiries with some schools. You might also want to check out their website as it is often more comprehensive than an advertisement in the newspaper or on TV.
