Had a break from driving, failed a practical test or simply want to feel more confident on the road? Our refresher driving lessons in Glasgow give you time to practise the skills you need, without starting from scratch.
Lessons are one-to-one with Wajid Lakhair, with manual and automatic options available. Whether you're still learning or already hold a full licence, the course can be adapted to your experience.
Getting back behind the wheel after a break
If you passed your test years ago but haven't driven much since, a refresher course can help you get comfortable driving again.
You can work on whatever you're finding difficult, such as:
Busy junctions and roundabouts
Parking and reversing manoeuvres
Dual carriageways
Driving in Glasgow city traffic
Observation, road positioning and general confidence
You don't need to prepare for another driving test if you already hold a valid full licence. The lessons are about improving your skills and getting used to driving again.
Extra lessons after an unsuccessful driving test
If you've recently failed your practical test, bring your examiner's report to your lesson. You and your instructor can go through the faults and work on the areas that need attention.
That might mean more practice at junctions, improving observations or dealing with situations that caused problems during your test.
If you're preparing for another attempt, you can also read our Glasgow driving test centre guides.
How many refresher hours should you book?
We offer three course lengths:
**5 hours:** A focused brush-up if you only have a few skills you want to practise.
**7.5 hours:** More time to work on manoeuvres, junctions and everyday driving situations.
**10 hours:** A longer course if you've been away from driving for some time or want practice across different road types.
There's no fixed number of hours that works for everyone. Your instructor can discuss a suitable starting point based on your experience.
The course prices for manual and automatic lessons are listed below.
Booking your refresher lessons
Lesson times depend on your availability and the instructor's schedule.
When you request a lesson, include your postcode, whether you'd prefer manual or automatic, and what you'd like help with. Let us know if you have a full licence, are returning after a break or are preparing to retake your practical test.
You can also compare all driving lesson options if you're unsure whether a refresher course is the right choice.
