If you are a Former Relevant young person, and are wishing to learn to drive a car, a motorbike, or moped and you have no driving realted convictions, we can support you in the following way.
Learning to drive a car
If you are in education, training or employment, we can help you with the cost of learning to drive.
Before booking any lessons, speak to your Personal Adviser.
What support is available?
We will pay for:
- one provisional driving licence
- five one-hour driving lessons with a qualified instructor
You will need to pay for the first five lessons and provide evidence of payment. We will then reimburse these costs, provided you can demonstrate that you are able to continue paying for future lessons.
Theory test support
You can access a free AA Driving Theory Test app through the Care Leaver Covenant.
Speak to your Personal Adviser if you need help signing up.
Learning to ride a motorbike or moped
To ride a motorbike or moped on public roads, you must have a provisional driving licence and complete a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course, which includes practical and theory-based training. Once completed, you will receive a CBT certificate.
What support is available?
We will pay for:
- one provisional driving licence
- up to £220 towards the cost of a CBT course
In most cases, this should cover the full cost of the training.
Speak to your Personal Adviser
Your Personal Adviser can help you understand the support available, discuss eligibility and explain the application process before you book any lessons or training.
