DVSA Approved Driver Training
Learn for a lifetime of safe driving
Learning to drive and passing the driving test is a skill that the vast majority of people decide to learn. It doesn’t matter if your reason is increasing your freedom to get around, or you are looking for better job opportunities, learning to drive is a great skill to have.
Finding the right person to teach you is essential, ensuring they are qualified and registered with the DVSA means they are checked and tested by the people who write the driving test to ensure they can provide training to the required level while ensuring the safety of you and the public around you while you are driving the car.
Our lessons are tailored to suit you and your preferred learning style, allowing you to not only learn the skills needed to drive a car, but to understand the why of the skill. We teach every aspect of the UK driving curriculum, ensuring when you sit your test, you are not only ready to pass, but are prepared for a lifetime of save driving.
How long does it take?
Unfortunately we cant give you a fixed time for how long it takes to learn to drive, everyone learns at their own pace. Currently the DVSA states it takes on average 45 hours with a driving instructor as well as 20 hours of private practice to get to test standard.
What will I learn?
We dont teach people to pass the driving test, we teach people to drive. meaning we do not teach students driving test routes etc, instead we will take every student to a variety of different towns and locations, and guide them through a variety of different driving situations, helping to build the skills needed to drive independently anywhere.
