While consistency is important, exposure to different instructors can reveal blind spots. One instructor may focus heavily on observation, another on vehicle control, another on complex traffic. Different teaching styles can highlight habits you have normalised with one instructor. This is particularly useful before your test, to ensure your skills are robust, not tailored to one person’s cues. This does not mean constantly switching. A primary instructor is essential, but occasional sessions with another qualified instructor can strengthen your overall ability.
