[How to Choose Driving Lessons?Designated Driving School vs Private Instructor Comprehensive Comparison Guide🚗]
Are you always hesitating, not knowing whether to choose a designated driving school or a private instructor for learning to drive? Many learner drivers get stuck at this step, afraid that choosing wrong will affect the success rate of getting a license and your wallet.👛 This time, let's simply compare the two with everyone, so you can decide easily!
Tuition Fees💰 and On-Road Practice🚗
According to the Transport Department's guidelines and recommendations, general beginners should have at least 30 hours of driving training. The most important part of learning to drive is the driving training. Designated driving schools charge at least over ten thousand, with some like HK School of Motoring charging close to twenty thousand. Designated driving schools' on-road practice hours are 22.5-24 hours, while with Driving King's instructors, the average fee per lesson (45 minutes) is $300. Assuming you take 32 lessons (total 24 hours), the cost is just over ten thousand.
Road Test Pass Rate
In terms of one-take pass rates for private cars and light goods vehicles, designated and non-designated driving schools are very close, with designated driving schools only 2-3% higher than non-designated driving schools. Notably, non-designated driving schools have higher pass rates for Part C of private cars and light goods vehicles by 4-6% than designated driving schools. If you spend double the tuition fee but only increase the one-take pass rate by a mere 2-3%, is such an investment really worth it? It's indeed worth pondering.
Conclusion
Designated driving schools' fees are double, but pass rates are only 2-3% higher. Assuming you use the designated driving school's fee to find an instructor in a non-designated driving school, even if you unfortunately have to retake, the fee is more than enough to cover it. Actually, no matter which one you choose, the most important is that the instructor suits you, you learn reassuringly and with confidence! There's no absolute answer, only the most suitable choice for you
What are the benefits of finding Driving King for learning to drive?
Extremely high cost-performance in tuition, per lesson (45 minutes) as low as $300, and you can freely choose the number of lessons. Moreover, there is a perfect mechanism to ensure instructor quality. If during the learning process, you feel the instructor is not suitable, you can immediately notify Driving King's customer service, and Driving King will change the instructor according to the student's needs.
