7am–7pm
Built around your local test centre, not a one-size-fits-all course.
Wishaw learners use the Hamilton test centre approximately four miles to the south, the closest DVSA facility serving ML2. Local routes cover the A721 Wishaw–Carluke road, the busy town-centre one-way system and the A73 link northward toward Motherwell. An intensive course with a local instructor means every hour is spent on the roads, junctions and manoeuvres you’ll meet on test day, not generic practice.

The roads you'll learn on around Wishaw.
Wishaw has its own challenges. Your instructor builds them into your lessons so nothing on test day is a surprise.
Big multi-lane roundabouts
Wishaw is full of large, busy roundabouts, lane discipline and confident observation are practised until they're second nature.
A721 and town-centre one-way system
The A721 connects Wishaw to Carluke and the Motherwell junction, while the compact town-centre one-way loop demands precise lane positioning, correct signal use and awareness of pedestrians at multiple controlled junctions.
Town-centre one-way system
Tight lane changes, frequent junctions and pedestrians through the centre, exactly the busy environment the test puts you in.
Residential manoeuvres
Quieter estates around the town for the test manoeuvres, pulling up on the right, bay parking and reversing, practised where you'll be asked to do them.
