  When the demand is high enough we also run unique evening class theory test courses for those students who are struggling with (or are afraid of) the theory test. These night classes have been well attended in the past and The Smart Way of structured learning has paid dividends. Compared to a national average pass rate of approximately 63% the first time pass rate among our students who attended this course rose to 92%!Anyone can attend these night classes, you don't have to be a pupil with The Smart Way driving school - all are welcome, and we promise NOT to pressure you into taking lessons with us after the end of the course. Of course, if we have impressed you, then we ALWAYS welcome new students. These classes are usually held in local adult education centres in Livingston.

For more information on these courses, including start dates of the next course, click on the Theory Test Evening Classes link in the navigator bar to the left.
