Outline of Process
Licence in a Day – no prior Assessment Lesson
- We book your Licence in a Day Course into our diary at a time convenient to you
- You attend on the scheduled day (we will remind you) to complete all of your training and undertake your practical driving test with a Driving Examiner from TMR
However, this is at your own risk. No driving school can guarantee an outcome for you and it is unethical to advertise such. However, we will try our best!
Licence in a Day – with a prior Assessment Lesson
- We book your Licence in a Day Course into our diary at a time convenient to you
- You attend a 1 hour assessment lesson a few days prior to the Licence in a Day course (included within the price) to:-
- Assess your current driving ability and make you aware of any “habits” you need to rectify before the day of your practical driving test.
- To ensure you feel comfortable in the vehicle you are going to be driving
- You return on the scheduled day (we will remind you) to finalise all of your training and undertake your practical driving test with a Driving Examiner from the TMR
