You'll need to ensure that you feel comfortable with the instructor, that you understand their teaching technique (it varies per instructor) and that you feel you learnt something after the lesson. This first lesson is often called an assessment lessons and will teach you the cockpit drill and the basics on how to drive a car. He or she will also assess your ability and give you an approximate guide on how many driving lessons before the test.

It's best to also ask the instructor if they only teach around the Belfast area and how long they have being teaching driving. Some instructors teach in many varied towns and cities and may not know the driving test routes very well. Driving examiners make the test routes and often use complex roads and traffic systems. Knowing these areas is beneficial.
