Licence resit lessons in Edinburgh

Disqualified drivers in Edinburgh usually need to take the DVSA extended test — longer than a standard practical (around 70 minutes vs 40) and held at Edinburgh (Musselburgh) or one of the larger Scottish centres. The skills are there from before; the format and pacing are what catches resit candidates out.

What we focus on for licence resit in Edinburgh

Extended-test format walked through (longer, more high-speed roads)
Queensferry Road and dual-carriageway sustained pace work
Refresher on any rusty manoeuvres around Dalkeith
Realistic full-length mocks before test day

Most resit pupils in Edinburgh need 10–20 hours, not a beginner course. We assess after the first lesson and price accordingly.

Be honest with us about why you were disqualified — it helps us prioritise the right lessons (anger-management driving issues vs alcohol-related vs accumulated points each need a slightly different focus).

Who this is for: Drivers who've completed a disqualification period in Edinburgh and need to pass an extended retest.
