A 2-hour driving lesson, offers significantly more road time and allows you to cover multiple skills in a single session. With fewer stops and more continuous driving, you can build confidence faster and get more experience in a shorter time.

In many cases, taking 2-hour lessons every other week can be more conducive to learning than a single 1-hour lesson each week. The extended time behind the wheel helps reinforce skills more effectively, allows you to practise in a wider variety of situations, and reduces time spent on re-recapping previous lessons.
