You will benefit from a driving school with over 17 years experience where we maintain high standards at all times.

With the benefit of a driving instructor with a high pass rate, you can be assured that you will receive patient and effective tuition to the highest standard. All lessons are taken at the customers own pace. Therefore more confident and naturally gifted drivers will be encouraged to progress quicker, whereas a more anxious less able driver will be allowed more time and encouragement to progress as fast as they feel comfortable with.

Intensive and semi intensive courses are provided usually over 1 to 4 weeks depending on the pupil and how many hours per week they want to do.  Unlike most intensive driving courses that you may sign up for, we will always conduct an assessment lesson first to gauge how many hours you would require and to tailor the course to your specific requirements.

Parents and partners are welcome and indeed encouraged to sit in the back of driving lessons at any time. That way parents or partners can not only see the progress the pupil is making during driving lessons but it can also help with private practice.

We also provide lessons in pass plus, refresher lessons and motorway driving. Discounts and gift vouchers also available.
