A single 2-hour automatic driving lesson with H&E costs £76 (£38 per hour). This includes door-to-door collection from your home, workplace or college across all Nottingham postcodes — NG1 to NG16 and DE7.

The £360 block package includes five 2-hour sessions (10 hours total), a structured DVSA lesson plan, personalised progress tracking, a mock test assessment, theory test guidance, and test-route preparation for Chilwell or Colwick. It saves £20 versus individual bookings at £36/hr.

Yes. Collection from your address is included in all lesson prices with no additional travel charge — across NG1–NG16 and DE7. This includes Beeston, Arnold, Bulwell, Hyson Green, West Bridgford, Wollaton, and all surrounding areas.

Pass Plus pricing varies depending on your current experience level and which modules you need. Contact Mohammad directly on WhatsApp for a personalised quote.

Two-hour sessions allow time to practise a skill, receive feedback, and apply corrections within the same lesson. One-hour sessions tend to lose time settling in and finishing before consolidation is complete. At H&E, every session is structured and ends with a post-lesson debrief so progress is always clear.

All H&E lessons use a dual-controlled Ford Focus ST-Line automatic. Mohammad can intervene at any moment if needed. The car is fully insured for learner drivers.

Yes. Mohammad Habib teaches in English, Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu. He can switch languages mid-lesson when a concept is more clearly explained in your first language — making H&E one of very few DVSA-approved multilingual automatic driving schools in Nottingham.

Please give at least 48 hours notice to cancel or rearrange a lesson. Mohammad will always try to accommodate changes where possible — contact him directly on WhatsApp or by phone.

Nottingham has two main DVSA practical driving test centres: Chilwell (Unit 24, Eldon Business Park, Eldon Rd, Beeston, Nottingham NG9 6DZ) and Colwick (Number 5, Industrial Estate, Private Road, Colwick, Netherfield, Nottingham NG4 2JU). Mohammad accompanies all learners to their test centre on test day.

H&E trains on the actual Chilwell and Colwick test routes from early in your course — not just in the final sessions. This includes the specific junctions, roundabouts, and dual carriageway sections that examiners use. Your test is only booked once performance on these routes is consistently at examiner standard.

Up to 15 minor (driving) faults are permitted in a UK practical driving test. A single serious or dangerous fault results in a failure. Consistent, safe driving matters more than perfection.

Yes. Both Chilwell and Colwick test centres accept automatic cars. Passing in an automatic gives you a full UK driving licence valid for automatic vehicles.

The driving section is approximately 38–40 minutes. Including vehicle safety questions at the start and the result at the end, the full appointment is around 50–55 minutes.

H&E covers NG1–NG12, NG16, and DE7. This includes: City Centre, West Bridgford, Mapperley, Carlton, Arnold, Bulwell, Hyson Green, Wollaton, Beeston, Long Eaton, Clifton, Radcliffe-on-Trent, Eastwood, Ilkeston, Stapleford, Hucknall, Sherwood, Gedling, Sneinton, Basford, and Kimberley.

Message Mohammad directly on WhatsApp at 07505 932953 or email contact@hedrivingschool.co.uk. He replies personally — no call centres or automated systems. He will confirm your postcode, discuss your experience, and arrange your first lesson.

Yes. Many H&E learners have had lessons elsewhere or failed their practical test. Mohammad's approach starts with understanding what has happened previously and building a structured plan from your current level — not starting from scratch.

Yes. You must hold a valid UK provisional driving licence before your first lesson. Apply at gov.uk — it typically takes up to 1 week. You must be at least 17 years old to drive on public roads.
