If I understand you correctly.

Insurance companies don't issue policies for less than 12 months afaik. What they do offer though is that you can pay it in monthly installments via direct debit over 12 months. However they will charge you interest for doing it this way but the payments spread over a 12 month period may suit you better. Then after 6 months if you get your full driving license they may reduce your monthly payments.

Otherwise if you pay up front they usually refund you a % if you pass your test.
