Your learning journey, step by step
Get Your Provisional Licence
Before you can take any lessons on public roads, you'll need a provisional driving licence from the DVLA. You can apply online and it typically arrives within a week.
Book Your First Lesson
Choose your preferred lesson type — manual or automatic — and pick a time that fits your schedule. We'll match you with a highly rated local instructor.
Prepare for the Theory Test
You'll need to pass the DVSA theory test before booking your practical. Your RED instructor will guide you through the content, covering the Highway Code, multiple-choice questions and hazard perception.
Book and Pass Your Practical Test
Once your instructor is confident you're ready, you'll book your practical test at a local DVSA test centre. We'll make sure you know exactly what to expect on the day.
