Frequently Asked Questions
How many lessons do I need?
This is mostly, the first question we are asked. Our driving instructor, will assess you on your driving ability and tell you how many lessons are required for you to be ready for your practical driving test. Once we feel you are ready, we will also do some practice mock exams to ensure that you are fully ready for your test and ensure you have covered all the relevant driving scenarios that are possible to come up in your driving test. On average, novice students require between 40 to 50 hour lessons and partly trained students require between 20 to 30 hours of lessons.
Is automatic or manual right for me?
Most of our students tend to go for manual driving lessons, purely because once you pass your test then you are able to drive an automatic car without the need to pass a test for an automatic. This is not true with the other way around. But ultimately, it depends on the student’s need and temperament. Some change to automatic later and some stick to manual driving.
I think I am ready for my driving test.
We at Ignite Intensive Drive, can only advise you on your ability. If we feel you are ready much earlier than expected, we will tell you so. To make you gain real confidence, we will perform some practical mock test along most of the test routes within the test centre. Please remember, you may be confident in your driving lessons but when it comes to mock test, students buckle up to pressures and fail them. We will fully advise you of the next plan of action so that you can pass the test first time with us without any dent on your confidence.
Without being brash, we have had students who have failed quite a number of times with other driving schools but passed first time with us. That is Ignite’s confidence.

Can I take begin an intensive course, prior to having passed my theory test?

What do I need to prepare for my intensive course?
All intensive courses are designed to cater for all experience levels, all we need is to know what experience you have, our instructors will amend the course accordingly. You will also need to bring your provisional driving license with you if you have not taken lessons with us before.
