DownloadGet Your first Provisional Driving Licence
Many people don't realise that you can get your Provisional Licence 3 months before you turn 17.
This is also the ideal time to find and book your Driving Instructor if you haven't already. In fact I would recommend booking as far in advance as possible- this means you choose the Driving Instructor you choose, rather than the one that is left available.
*You need your Provisional Licence to start lessons.
Booking your Theory Test
Once you are ready you can book your Theory Test.
Don't forget that with Matt Shurmer Driving School you receive free and unlimited online theory training!
BEWARE: Some unofficial sites charge a booking fee, the GOV.UK site does not.
Booking your Practical Driving Test
I will be able to guide you as to when to book your practical test.
**You cannot do this until you have passed your Theory. It is important that you have covered the criteria laid out in the DVSA Syllabus (National Standards for Driver and Rider Trainers) and are ready for a safe future on the road.
*The DVSA do not provide vehicles. I will need to be available so you can book a slot to use my car. Check I am available before booking the slot!
The DVSA have strict cancellation policies and you could lose your fee.
Taking Lessons with Matt Shurmer Driving School

To this end I have Terms and Conditions to protect both pupil and instructor which can be found below.
