TRANSMISSION

Some driving schools offer lessons that last either 1 hour or 2 hours. We've found these lengths often miss the mark: 1 hour can feel too short to make meaningful progress, while 2 hours can be tiring and overwhelming.

That's why we use 90-minute (1.5-hour) sessions: this balanced length is proven to be more effective, giving you enough time to learn and practise new skills without leaving you feeling exhausted. Select your preferred gear type below.

Common Questions

LESSON
FAQs

Manual or automatic: which should I choose?

×

Manual gives you the flexibility to drive any car in the UK. Automatic is ideal if you find clutch control difficult, have mobility issues, or simply want to focus on road skills. Both are available at the same price with the same high standard of instruction at Dopa.

How many hours do I need before my test?

+

The DVSA recommends around 45 hours of professional lessons on average, plus 22 hours of private practice. With our structured approach, many Dopa pupils are ready faster. We'll always give you an honest assessment of your readiness, we never push you before you're genuinely ready.

Can I switch between manual and automatic?

+

Yes, just let us know and we'll arrange the right vehicle for your next lesson. There's no switching fee. Note that a manual licence allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars, while an automatic-only licence restricts you to automatics.

What areas in Glasgow do you cover?

+

We cover all areas of Glasgow and surrounding areas including Bishopbriggs, Baillieston, Shieldhall, Hamilton, and more. We know every local test route and DVSA test centre inside out.
