Manual lessons cost £35 per hour and build clutch control, smooth gear changes and confident decisions. Passing a manual test allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars.
Automatic lessons cost £37 per hour and let you focus on observation and road planning without a clutch pedal or manual gear changes. An automatic test gives you a licence for automatic cars; a manual practical test is needed to drive manual cars.
Both tests require the same standard of safe driving. Contact us with your postcode and preferred times to check instructor availability before choosing.
Regular lessons give you time to practise and build skills steadily. We work with complete beginners and learners who have already had tuition elsewhere. Your instructor will assess your experience and discuss the next steps.
If you feel anxious about busy roads, making mistakes or starting again, tell us. Your instructor can break skills into manageable steps, choose suitable roads and help you build confidence with clear explanations and focused practice.
Bring your test feedback and explain what happened on the day. We can work on the areas that need improvement, use mock-test practice where appropriate and help you decide when another attempt is realistic.
We offer intensive courses, refresher lessons and motorway training. Tell us the journeys or skills you want to improve so we can recommend the right service. Test-day support is subject to readiness and instructor availability.
Tell us your postcode, manual or automatic preference and suitable lesson times. We’ll help you check availability and plan your next step.
