Hi all, I am currently learning driving at cdc ubi and my
instructor takes me through 1 module per driving lesson. I
was initially told at the counter that i could start to book the
practical test after 16 lessons usually , however, my instructors
will only do one topic per lesson and no more than that.
After passing my ftt, when i went to the counter i was told that i
had to at least complete module 2 before i could book the practical
test. From module 1 to 2 is 20 topics, so I had to go and take
about 20 lessons before i could book my practical test.
Previously I read the blue colored booklet they read and saw that
there were 30 topics in total and then i asked my instructor and he
said that yes, i had to take 30 lessons before i could take my
driving test. (This is already more than the usual amount of
lessons i have heard from my friends which take about 25-26)
.
In addition, before you can book the driving test , you have to
have this "minimum no. of lessons required before driving test
recommendation from your instructor as stated in the blue booklet
that is provided. My instructor upon finishing module 2, wrote
about 15 lessons his reason given was that in addition to the 30
topics, i had to drive through all the test routes at 2 per lesson,
and there were about 10 test routes.
So, when i tried to book my practical test, they told me i had to
die-die book the 15 lessons or they would not let me even book the
test and already the next available slot is really far away in
october now. This comes up to a total of 35 lessons and a really
long time to get my drivers license and is heck of alot more
lessons than I usually hear of.
I can't help but wonder if i'm being cheated here , could somebody
please offer me some advice?
