What Are Refresher Driving Lessons?
Refresher driving lessons are driving lessons for people who already hold a full driving licence but want to feel safe and confident behind the wheel again. Refresher driving lessons start with an assessment drive, so your instructor can see how you drive today and plan the lessons around it. Refresher driving lessons then focus on the situations that worry you most, such as busy junctions, roundabouts, parking or city centre traffic. Refresher driving lessons involve no test, no L plates and no fixed syllabus. Refresher driving lessons can be taken in a manual or an automatic car.
How Much Are Refresher Driving Lessons in Manchester?
Refresher driving lessons in Manchester cost £80 for the 2 Hour Refresher Lesson or £150 for the 4 Hour Refresher Package, in a manual or automatic car.

Refresher lessons are flexible from 2 hours, and Pass Plus runs for 6 hours and can lower insurance premiums with some insurers.

How Refresher Driving Lessons Work
Get Started TodayYour Assessment Drive
In refresher lessons, driving starts with an assessment drive on quiet roads, so your instructor sees how you drive before planning anything.
Building Your Confidence
Later refresher lessons move to the roads that worry you, such as busy roundabouts, multi-lane junctions and Manchester city centre traffic, at your pace.
Driving on Your Own Again
Your final refresher lesson covers the journeys you need to make, like the school run or your commute, so driving alone feels normal again.

Refresher Driving Lessons Across Manchester
Learn MoreBook refresher driving lessons with Impulse instructors covering Manchester neighbourhoods, local roads and nearby DVSA test routes.
How much are refresher driving lessons in Manchester?
Refresher driving lessons in Manchester cost £80 for the 2 Hour Refresher Lesson and £150 for the 4 Hour Refresher Package, with Impulse charging the same price in a manual or automatic car. The Pass Plus Course, which adds motorway and night driving, costs £290 for 6 hours.
What is a driving refresher course?
A driving refresher course is a short set of lessons for full licence holders who want to rebuild their confidence and skills after time away from driving. A driving refresher course with Impulse starts with an assessment drive, then focuses on the roads and situations that worry you most.
Do I need L plates for refresher driving lessons?
No, L plates are only for drivers with a provisional licence, so a full licence holder never needs them for refresher driving lessons. Your lessons still take place in a dual control car with a DVSA approved instructor, who can use the second brake if needed.
How many refresher driving lessons do I need?
The number depends on how long you have been away from driving and what worries you, and your instructor uses the first assessment drive to tell you honestly how many hours you need. Some drivers need only the 2 Hour Refresher Lesson, while others book the 4 Hour Refresher Package or add the Pass Plus Course.
Can I have refresher driving lessons in an automatic?
Yes, refresher driving lessons run in manual and automatic cars at the same price. An automatic only licence covers automatic cars, so a driver with that licence who wants to drive a manual needs manual lessons and a manual driving test, not refresher lessons.
Are refresher driving classes the same as refresher lessons?
Yes, refresher driving classes is the American phrasing for what UK drivers call refresher driving lessons. Refresher driving classes with Impulse are one to one lessons in Greater Manchester for full licence holders, from £80 for 2 hours.
Is a driver refresher course the same as a driving assessment?
No, a driver refresher course is training to rebuild skills and confidence, while a formal driving assessment for medical or fitness to drive reasons comes from an accredited Driving Mobility centre. Impulse refresher lessons include an informal assessment drive, but no official report or licence decision.
Can I take refresher lessons with a foreign driving licence?
Yes, refresher lessons suit drivers who are new to UK roads, and many people can drive in Great Britain on a valid foreign licence for up to 12 months after becoming resident. Check the GOV.UK rules for your country, because some licences must be exchanged or need a UK driving test.
Which course covers motorway driving?
The Pass Plus Course covers motorway driving as one of its 6 DVSA modules, alongside dual carriageways and night driving, for £290 over 6 hours. Drivers who feel rusty on local roads first can start with a 2 Hour Refresher Lesson, then move on to Pass Plus.
Can refresher driving lessons help with driving anxiety?
Yes, refresher driving lessons suit nervous drivers, starting on quiet roads at your own pace before building up to the situations that worry you. You can ask for a calm, patient instructor, or a female instructor at no extra cost where one is available in your area.
