Learner Resources
Use these trusted learning resources alongside your driving lessons to revise road rules, signs and practical-test knowledge. Official GOV.UK materials are listed first and are free to use.
Follow these resources in order, or go straight to the stage you need. Each official service is clearly labelled so you know who provides it.
Official DVLA service on GOV.UK
You need a provisional driving licence before you can take lessons or practise in a car. Use the official DVLA service to check eligibility, what identification you need and how to apply.
Official GOV.UK guidance
The Highway Code explains the rules, guidance and advice all road users should know. Use the current official online version while learning and when revising for your theory test.
Official DVSA service on GOV.UK
Book both parts of the car theory test—the multiple-choice questions and hazard perception—through the official service. You will need your UK driving licence number and payment details.
Official DVSA practice on GOV.UK
Try free official practice questions and hazard-perception clips to understand how both parts work. Practice questions and clips are examples rather than those used in the real test.
Free ALD Driving School guide
Read ALD’s complete guide to targeted revision, multiple-choice strategy and hazard perception.
Official DVSA services on GOV.UK
Use the official DVSA services to book your own car test, change its date or test centre, or cancel it. Check the current notice periods and limits before making a change.
Official GOV.UK guidance
Learn about the eyesight check, vehicle-safety questions, general and independent driving, and reversing exercise before test day. This can help make the test format feel familiar.
Free ALD Driving School resource
Use ALD Driving School’s free revision quiz to practise all 21 vehicle-safety questions in full, tell-me or show-me mode, then review any mistakes.
Official GOV.UK guidance
Check what you must take, which licence documents are accepted and the rules for the car used in your test. Missing the required items can mean the test is cancelled.
Official DVLA service on GOV.UK
Use the official DVLA replacement service if your licence is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. If your test is approaching, allow time for the replacement to arrive and rearrange if necessary.
Use the official traffic-sign guide alongside The Highway Code. The audio option is a clearly labelled third-party study aid rather than an official DVSA resource.
Official GOV.UK resource
Learn about the road signs, markings and signals used across Great Britain. The official guide is available free on GOV.UK.
Third-party audio resource — not produced or endorsed by DVSA
Prefer listening? This third-party audio playlist provides an alternative way to study The Highway Code. Always check the current official Highway Code on GOV.UK because rules and guidance can change.
