Local Driving Tips

Take a few lessons that end at the Birmingham (Kingstanding) test centre so you know the likely drive there on test day.

Ask about pass rates and recent test-centre experience, and check local reviews. Expect to pay around £35 per lesson on average, but prices may vary by instructor experience and car type.
