How to get drivers license while FT in IB? (London)

Random question but anyway

I need to get my drivers license ASAP. I’m starting full-time in IB in July and hours are 70-90 with 70 being bare minimum I’d say.

I will be living in Angel which is a decently residential area (though not close to office) and the nearby area has a lot of driving instructors.

My question is how the fuck do I obtain my drivers license in the foreseeable future? Has anyone done this before? Really struggling to devise a plan where I balance work with lessons etc.

Much appreciated

It should be feasible to get 5 hours driving in every weekend (2/3hr lesson, 2hr driving with friend who has a license).

Once you’ve got about 30 hours behind the wheel you should have no problem passing

If you can squeeze an additional hour or two Mon-Fri you’ll be able to pass after about a month.
