Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay each hand you a different mix of roads, and the examiner marks you on the ones around your own test centre. Put the Devon routes side by side and the same features keep appearing: dual carriageways where joining at traffic speed is the marked skill, gradients steep enough to make hill starts a genuine test element, residential grids used for the manoeuvre element of the test and town-centre one-way systems with lane changes under pressure. Town by town in Devon: Exeter (Exeter); Plymouth (Plymouth); Torquay (Torquay). ### Intensive or weekly lessons in Devon? The intensive-versus-weekly decision in Devon comes down to how much time you can actually clear. Blocks of two to four hour sessions work when you can free weekdays; a weekly hour works when you cannot, and both finish at the same test. Nobody can tell you your hours before the first lesson. The national average of about 45 hours is the planning number; what changes it is prior experience, not which part of Devon you live in. ### Where Devon learners take the practical test Your practical will most likely be booked at one of 3 centres — Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay — and your instructor should be teaching the roads around whichever you pick, not an average of the county. Local detail worth knowing before test day — Expect a fast dual-carriageway section and a return through tight city roads., Gradient control is the local challenge. and Summer traffic changes the character of routes significantly.. Exeter draws on City streets, A38 dual carriageway and Suburban hills — Expect a fast dual-carriageway section and a return through tight city roads.. Plymouth draws on Steep hills, Busy junctions and Dual carriageway — Gradient control is the local challenge.. Torquay draws on Seafront, Narrow hilly streets and A380 links — Summer traffic changes the character of routes significantly.. ### Course lengths and prices Course Hours Total [Test Booster](/courses/10-hour-course) 10 £612.28 [Manoeuvre Finisher](/courses/15-hour-course) 15 £918.41 [Semi-Intensive](/courses/20-hour-course) 20 £1,224.55 [Confident Starter](/courses/25-hour-course) 25 £1,530.69 [Fast-Track](/courses/30-hour-course) 30 £1,836.83 [Beginner Plus](/courses/35-hour-course) 35 £2,142.96 [Complete Beginner](/courses/40-hour-course) 40 £2,449.10 ## Test centres serving Devon DVSA stopped publishing test routes in 2010, so these guides cover the road types around each centre rather than a route list. - [Exeter](/driving-test-centres/exeter) - [Plymouth](/driving-test-centres/plymouth) - [Torquay](/driving-test-centres/torquay) ## Driving lessons in Devon: common questions ### Do you cover the whole of Devon? We cover 3 towns and cities across Devon — Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay — plus the villages and suburbs inside a normal working radius of each. If your postcode sits between two of them, search it and we will tell you honestly whether an instructor can reach you. ### How much are driving lessons in Devon? £61.23 an hour, the same as every other county we operate in. Twenty hours is £1,224.55 and forty hours is £2,449.10, with no county surcharge and no booking fee. DVSA fees — £23 theory, £62 weekday practical — are paid to the government separately. ### Which test centres serve Devon? Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay. Each has its own page covering the road types its routes use, because the difference between neighbouring centres is bigger than most learners expect. ### What should I practise before a test in Devon? Based on the roads our Devon centres actually use: dual carriageways where joining at traffic speed is the marked skill, gradients steep enough to make hill starts a genuine test element, residential grids used for the manoeuvre element of the test and town-centre one-way systems with lane changes under pressure. Practising those in the conditions you will be tested in — same time of day, same weather if you can — is worth more than extra hours in an empty retail park. ### Do you run crash courses across Devon? Yes, though the limit is your own availability rather than ours. Intensive blocks want consecutive weekdays; if you can only do evenings, a semi-intensive schedule across Devon is the sensible version. ### Are the instructors local to my town? Yes — the instructor teaches your area day to day. That is deliberate: Devon is big enough that a match made at county level would put some learners an hour from their instructor. ### When could my first lesson be? It depends on capacity in your specific town rather than in Devon as a whole. Weekly lessons usually start within days; intensive courses are scheduled around your practical date, which is the long pole. ## Not sure how many hours you need? Answer four quick questions and we will recommend a course based on your experience, not a sales target.
