Licence categories
Sample test calendar
Lessons, theory and practical tests on one line.
We set lesson start dates. Theory and practical tests are booked through the official GOV.UK service, so we mark them as planned and never promise a date.
This calendar is a sample; dates are for illustration. Your instructor agrees your real plan with you.
Packages and payment
Clear packages, no figures hidden in small print.
Single lessons, block bookings and intensive courses are set out side by side with what is included and our cancellation terms, so you can compare before you call.
Block bookings
A set number of hours booked together, with the terms written down.
Intensive course
Several lessons a week around your test date, for learners in a hurry.
Payment options
Card or bank transfer; cancellation terms are listed with each package.
Our price list shows every package, what is included and payment options.
The Pistra way
We show our cars, classroom and ground; we promise a clear process.
Pupils are only pictured with recorded consent, so we show where and how you learn instead.
Training ground
Hill starts, slalom and bay parking practised off road before your first busy junction.
Our cars
Manual and automatic cars, an A2 motorcycle and a rigid lorry, all with dual controls.
Classroom
Theory evenings and mock tests before you book your theory test.
- No pupil photos or surnames without recorded consent.
- No promised test dates; we explain how booking works.
- Your checklist arrives before your first lesson.

Questions
What learners ask before they start.
Cannot find your question? Add it to the enquiry form and we will call you back the same day.
Does the enquiry form book my lessons?
No. It asks us to call you back and sends the checklist for your category. We agree your start date, lesson times and package with you, and nothing is charged online.
Are your instructors approved?
Every instructor is an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) or holds a current trainee licence, and the certificate is displayed in the car. Each profile states which one, along with their categories and languages.
When can I take my test?
Theory and practical tests are booked through the official GOV.UK service and availability depends on your test centre. We explain each step and help you judge when you are ready, but we never promise a test date.
Should I learn in a manual or an automatic?
If you pass in an automatic, your licence covers automatic cars only. If you might ever drive a manual, learning in one keeps both options open; you can try both cars on our ground first.
What do I need before my first lesson?
A valid provisional licence for your category, and you must be able to read a number plate from 20 metres, with glasses if you wear them. Bring your licence to every lesson.
