How We Track Your Progress
Every pupil has two things at all times: a pathway and a traffic light. They answer two different questions.
1. Your pathway — what am I working on?
Beginner
Car control, basic junctions and observations. Manoeuvres with instructor help — your instructor is still stepping in.
- • Suitable for fresh to the road learner drivers.
- • Save more money over time.
Intermediate
Roundabouts, complex junctions, independent driving and hazard planning. Fewer prompts.
Test Ready
Mock tests, test routes, weak-area work and decisions under pressure.
- • Suitable for fresh to the road learner drivers.
- • Reoccurring lesson taker (most common pick).
2. Your traffic light — am I ready to book?
Not yet
Frequent prompts and safety-critical mistakes. Booking a test now wastes your money.
Nearly there
Driving safely, but errors creep in under pressure. Mock tests start here.
Ready
Driving independently and passing mocks at test standard. Now we book.
