How it works
Four steps, and you know where you are at every one.
Learners give up when nobody tells them how far along they are. Our instructors record every lesson against the DVSA syllabus, so the answer is always in front of you.
1
Book your first lesson
Two hours, at your door. Tell us your postcode and whether you want manual or automatic and we match you to an instructor who covers your area.
2
Assessment drive
Lesson one is a proper drive, not a car park. You leave with a written plan and an honest estimate of the hours you need.
3
Same instructor, same slot
You keep the weekly slot you book. Your progress record updates after every lesson, and you can see it on your phone.
4
Mock test, then the real one
We book a full mock on your test route two weeks out. You use our car on the day, and the test fee is included in course prices.
Lessons
Whatever stage you are at.
One price list for everybody, published here. No booking fee, no charge for pick-up, no surprise on the invoice.
Manual lessons
The standard licence. Two-hour lessons work best for most learners, and we pick you up from home, work or college.
Automatic lessons
No clutch, no stalling, no hill starts to worry about. Most automatic learners test in fewer hours than manual learners.
Intensive courses
Licence in two to three weeks. We hold test slots back for course learners, so your date is booked before you start.
Refresher lessons
Passed years ago and lost your nerve, or new to UK roads. No minimum block, book two hours and see how you feel.
Motorway lessons
Legal since 2018 for learners, and worth doing. The M1 at Junction 25 in a dual-control car beats your first solo run.
Pass Plus
Six modules after you pass: town, rural, night, dual carriageway, motorway and all weathers. Some insurers cut the premium.
Block booking
Buy hours in a block, pay less per hour.
Pick the size of block below and the price updates. Blocks never expire, and if you pass with hours left we refund them at the block rate.

Nobody here is a franchisee chasing their own diary. Our instructors are on the payroll, which is why you keep the same one from lesson one to test day.

★★★★★Passed first time with three minors after failing twice with another school. Priya explained the same things in a way that finally stuck.
Aisha R., Beeston
★★★★★Did the two-week intensive around a new job. Test was booked before I started, which is the only reason it worked.
Tom C., Arnold
★★★★★I am 47 and had not driven since 2004. Sofia never once made me feel daft about it. Back on the road in eleven hours.
