Driving lesson wait times are significant
Driving lesson waiting times are currently long due to a high demand for driving tests, particularly caused by a backlog from the pandemic, leading to limited availability of slots with driving instructors and extended wait times to book your first lessons or even take a practical driving test; this can mean waiting several months to start learning to drive.
We are still taking enquires and requests to join our waiting list. We can't guarantee there will be space on the waiting list.

We provide refresher and confidence boosting sessions to those who have already passed their driving test but would like to gain more skills and build their confidence on the road
Les was an amazing instructor

Les was an amazing instructor who helped me work through all of my anxiety surrounding driving. From the beginning, Les was calm and informative and adapted to my style of learning. He boosted my confidence and always worked with me to reflect on any mistakes and helped me realise on my own what I needed to change. Les created fun yet educational lessons, and I always looked forward to my lessons each week. I enjoyed the reflective aspect of the lessons, writing notes about what I enjoyed, what I struggled with, and what I would like to work on moving forward. I found that Les made learning to drive enjoyable and never pushed me to do anything he didn’t believe I was capable of. Without Les’ belief and confidence in me, I would still feel unconfident and anxious on the roads. After 8 months of hard work with Les and his guidance, I was able to pass first time with only 2 minors!
Les is an amazing instructor

Les is a amazing driving instructor from the start he helped me to become a much safer driver, he is really patient and let’s you learn at your own pace rather than rushing you. By the time I was put in for my test I felt I could confidently drive safely on any road. Massive thank you.
Les is great

Les is great , easy to learn from and corrects your mistakes quickly , incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Couldn’t reccomend anyone better
Les is calm & laid back

Les is such a calm and laid back driving instructor but he also makes sure you’re doing the right thing and always helps you correct faults. He makes it so easy to learn as you always feel relaxed while at the wheel and you pick things up very easy by the way he teaches.
Great lessons and instructor

Les is a fantastic instructor I couldn’t imagine learning from a better guy. He always gives you time to learn new things and never puts you under any pressure or stress. I would thoroughly recommend Les to anyone that is wanting to learn to drive.
Thank you Les
