Driving lessons tailored to your level
No student starts at the exact same level and therefore not all driving lessons look the same.
When driving with one of our experienced driving instructors, we base our approach on your prior knowledge and how far you have progressed in your training. If you have never driven before, we start from the basics. If you have already done a lot of private practice driving, we assess your driving and focus on the areas you actually need to develop.
The goal is to use lesson time effectively and help you move forward, not to practice things you already master.
Based on your level, we can also help you create a training plan and give you an idea of what you need to practise further. How many driving lessons are needed varies depending on, among other things, previous driving experience, development, and how much you can practise driving privately.
Driving lessons with automatic or manual car
At Björkstadens Driving School you can take driving lessons with both automatic and manual cars. The price of the driving lessons is the same regardless of which option you choose.
Driving lessons with an automatic car
An automatic gearbox suits you if you want to be able to focus more on traffic, positioning and planning without having to deal with the clutch and manual gear changes at the same time.
If you want to complete the entire driving licence training with an automatic, you can read more about our Automatic driving licence in Umeå.
Driving lessons with a manual car
If you want to be able to drive both manually and automatically geared cars, you can choose driving lessons with a manual car.
We tailor the lessons to your experience and practise, among other things, changing gear, the clutch and how to use the car safely and efficiently in different traffic environments.

What do you practice during a driving lesson?
What we practise depends on where you are in your driving lessons. A beginner needs different exercises to a pupil who is soon to take their driving test.
During the training, we can, among other things, work with:
- start, stop and basic vehicle control
- shifting and clutch control when driving a manual
- positioning and speed adaptation
- urban driving
- junctions and roundabouts
- parking and reversing
- driving on rural roads
- driving on major roads
- risk assessment and safety
- autonomous driving
- planning and foresight
- preparations for the driving test.
We focus on the parts that are relevant to your development and increase the difficulty level as you become more confident behind the wheel.
First driving lesson – even for those who have never driven before
You do not need to have any previous driving experience to book a driving lesson with us.
If you are completely new, we start slowly and go through the basics step by step. Our driving instructors have extensive experience in training new drivers and will adapt the pace to suit you.
The most important thing during the first lessons is that you get the opportunity to feel secure in the car and build a good foundation from which to develop further.
Have you already had private driving lessons?
If you have already practised a lot at home, you do not need to start from the beginning when you get to the driving school.
We assess your driving today and identify which elements you have already mastered and what needs to be developed further. Afterwards, driving lessons can be focused on the areas where you will benefit most from professional guidance.
That way, you can combine private practice driving and driving lessons in an efficient way.
After the lesson, you can also get advice on what is good to continue practising privately before the next driving session.
How many driving lessons do I need?
There is no set number of driving lessons that suits everyone.
How many lessons you need is affected by, amongst other things:
- if you have driven a car before
- how much do you practise driving privately
- how often you drive
- how quickly you develop
- which areas you need to work more on.
A student who can do a lot of private practice may, for example, need fewer lessons at a driving school than someone who does the main part of their driving practice with a driving instructor.
Once we have a picture of your level, we can help you set up a training plan based on your circumstances.
Driving lessons in Swedish or English
We can conduct driving lessons in both Swedish and English.
This means that even if you are an English speaker and, for example, are studying, working or living in Umeå, you can get help with your practical driving lessons with us.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the training in English before booking.
