I was wondering are there very good driving schools/instructors in lagos? I would like to be able to take some driving lessons if I am able to move to lagos.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Hi,
I have been looking for lessons for my Son and it seems you can get them in Lisbon and if you do not speak or read Portugese then you can have some one from the consulate be with you when you do your oral and written exam and
interpret for you.
I know this means going to Lisbon but the Trains are good.
Other than that you can do a British residencial course in the UK.

I don't think there are any. I've been here over 2 years (Algarve) and I've never seen one, and, come to think of it, I've never seen an L plate either. Hold on . . . just looked up the verb 'to learn' and it's 'Aprendar'.
My advice would be to look in the usual places Resident, 123 etc. for someone or contact the International School of the Algarve, as they have a sixth form full of english speaking kids approaching their 18th birthday. Mummy and Daddy will surely have thought about lessons prior to letting their kid loose in their shiny new birthday present.

I have been here 7 years and so far nothing!!
I have found out you can do it in Lisbon and when you do your theory you can ask a member of the Consul to be with you to translate.Thats the best so far or go back to UK on an intensive coures.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you I had to return to UK due to a family illness.
Does your son speak Portuguese?
How did he go about his driving test?
Regards
Ann
