Private is much cheaper. And here's why. Let's say you're learning
manual and you already know how to get biting-point and how to
start moving off, you can just tell the private instructor and
he'll skip that part and move on to driving on the road. So you can
skip a lot of lessons and save lots of money.
CDC students compulsory need to learn minimum 19 lessons if I'm
not wrong. And when one lesson is around $60, it adds up to a lot
of money. Roughly $1200 and that's just practical lessons and this
is if you are so pro and you only need 19 lessons.
You can expect to half that amount if you go for private because
you can take less lessons if you already know how to do basic
driving. And charges for each practical lessons also much cheaper.
At $30 to $40 per lesson.
Okay, If I'm not wrong it's 30-40 per hour and they do 2 hour
lessons. Hmm, in a way, say I'm relatively busy would it be
advisable to go through 19 lessons(say 3 lessons a week since I'm
rushing here) or would it be better to take private.
Thus the equation would be.
Time for no. of private lessons - Time to take 19 lessons
from school + booking time for private - booking time from
school = ?
If it is positive then school is faster if it is negative then
private is faster.
Also factor in that my mum's relative has friends? at
Ubi Driving Centre. Though I seriously doubt that it would help.
(Though he said he could)
Also take into consideration that I am living in the west,
whereas Ubi is in the East(reason for that is that they say Ubi is
easier to pass - because it's industrial area and you only have to
drive in a box shape, whereas for bukit batok you have to drive
highway and school zones)
