Free Retraining
After many years in the driver training industry Driving Portal recognise that not everyone will pass their test first time. The failure can be down to the stress of the test on the day or a technical difficulty.
Driving Portal are committed to all of their pupils obtaining a full drivers licence. Therefore we have introduced our customer pledge in which we will provide FREE OF CHARGE correction lessons to correct any faults made on either the theory or the practical driving tests for as long as is needed, until a pass is obtained.

Do you help with theory revision?
There are around 1200 questions in the theory question database, so you’re looking at a lot of revision time. We recommend at least 30 hours, and thats only 2 minutes per question! For practical reasons we will give you free access to the premium version of the theory test pro website, so you can study online at home or on the go, with your smartphone via the website or app. Our driving instructors will be happy to assist with the theory in the car too if you need help, just ask. We can go through the more complex questions with you, which will boost your chances of passing the theory test when you take it. It would take us hours and hours to cover everything once so thats why we give you free access to the revision website.
