Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about starting your journey with MR Driving School.

Do I need to have a provisional licence before starting my lessons?

Yes, you must be in possession of a valid UK provisional driving licence before you can begin any driving lessons on public roads. We will need to perform a licence check during your first session to ensure everything is in order before you get behind the wheel.


Do I need to pass my theory test before starting my lessons?

No, you do not need to have passed your theory test to begin your driving lessons. However, you must have a valid theory test certificate before we can book your practical driving test. We can provide guidance and support with your theory preparation during your course.


Do I have to complete my intensive course in a single week?

Not at all. While we specialise in fast-track learning, we offer the flexibility to spread your lessons over several weeks (semi-intensive) to suit your schedule and learning pace.


Is it possible to pass my driving test in just one week?

Yes, many of our students achieve this. However, intensive courses are demanding, and our priority is building lifelong safe driving habits. If we feel you need more time to be fully safe and confident, we will adjust the pace to support you.


What if I am not ready for my test date?

Safety is our absolute priority. If you and your instructor feel you are not yet ready, we will first see if your instructor can fit in the extra hours required before the test. Alternatively, we will move your test back and add you to our cancellation list to find a sooner date that aligns with when you are fully prepared.


What happens if I fail my practical driving test?

We cannot guarantee a first-time pass, as anything can happen on the day. However, because our intensive courses ensure high skill retention, the chances of success are significantly higher. If you are unsuccessful, our team will work quickly to secure a new fast-track test date and coordinate with your instructor to create a smaller, personalised “top-up” course just for you.


Will I have the same instructor and car for every lesson?

Yes, consistency is key to your success. You will have Matt as your dedicated instructor throughout your journey, driving the same modern, well-maintained vehicle for both lessons and your test.


Do you offer lessons for people who already have a licence?

Absolutely. We provide Refresher Courses and Motorway Training for full licence holders who may have lost their confidence or want to update their skills. These sessions are conducted in a patient, supportive environment to help you navigate modern roads safely.


How do I book a course?

To book a course, please call 07938 403098.

A £150 professional deposit is required to secure your chosen dates and begin your driving journey.


Can I pay for my driving course in instalments?

Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to help manage the cost. We simply ask that your account remains in credit for each scheduled lesson.


Can I have 1 hour lessons each week?

Unfortunately we do only offer bulk courses. The minimum lesson requirement is one two hour lesson each week.


What is your cancellation policy?

We require at least 48 hours’ notice for any lesson changes or cancellations. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice may be charged at the full lesson rate.


Which areas do you cover for lessons?

We provide home, work, or college pickups within a 15-mile radius of Worksop. We cover several local practical test centres to ensure you are familiar with the roads where you will be tested.

Matt is an ORDIT-trained professional with over 22 years of experience and holds the Cardington A Special Test certificate. We focus on safety, reliability, and creating a calm, supportive environment for our learners.
