[IMG: Customer Review Exeter Summer Varley]

[H4] Summer Varley, Exeter.

“I chose Kelvin White Driving School as I wanted quality teaching. I also wanted a local school who were professional.
My learning experience was better than I had expected. I really liked that you could express what you wanted to work on rather than being told. My driving instructor Mike Harwood had great teaching methods. Mike was very calm and understanding. He was very clear when explaining things and was friendly, yet professional.
I cannot express how great Mike was. I always felt comfortable and safe and he gave great guidance and teaching methods.He made my experience of learning to drive enjoyable and easy.
I was 100% happy and will recommend to others due to my experience and the good office support I received.”

“I decided to go with Kelvin White Driving School after hearing only good things as I was not getting on with my current instructor.
Dave Peter gave me the confidence and skills that I needed to pass my test. I was very anxious but Dave always put me at ease and assured me that I could do it!
I couldn’t have passed without Dave’s tuition and I will be forever grateful to him and Kelvin White Driving school.”

[H4] Michelle Chick, Bridgwater.

“I chose Kelvin White Driving School because of their high first time pass rate. I had also read their positive customer reviews.
I found learning to drive to be easier than I had expected due to my anxiety around unfamiliar people.
My driving instructor Steve Gwinnell had teaching methods that were easy to understand. If I struggled with parts Steve would either explain in more detail or demonstrate.
I will be recommending to others because of the encouragement and support I received throughout. Customer service was absolutely brilliant, both with support and encouragement.”

[H5] More Information

[H2] Kelvin White Driving School have been established in Somerset since 2001.
Kelvin White was the sole instructor back then and it was during 2007 that new driving instructors joined the team to become a true driving school. The school grew quickly over the next two years to over 30 driving instructors and expanded from the headquarters in Bridgwater to cover the towns of Taunton, Ilminster, Wellington, Tiverton, Minehead and Exeter.
The driving school is now one of the premier suppliers of male, female, manual and auto learner lessons throughout the county of Somerset. Refresher and familiarisation lessons are also available.
Customers will benefit from local family values with Kelvin White – school owner, Sandra White and Andy White – customer services and Lee White – head of the instructor training program.
The School mission statement can be found by using this link and it will also be sent to all new customers with the booking confirmation letter.
The tremendous success rate of the school has been mainly down to the extremely popular Try Us and See Deal that has been running since 2007. New pupils are able to quite literally able to Try and See their allocated instructor with a huge discount to see if they gel together as forming a rapport is so important to the success of the tuition.
The company are so confident in the both the service and tuition that they offer that a money back guarantee is in place should the pupil not be delighted with either the service of tuition received.
Local customer reviews also play a huge part in attracting a regular supply of new customers. In recent years we have become a customer review society and most of us now read several reviews before making a purchase.
Visitors to this website will find that each town or area will have its own web page so that visitors will be able to access the information that is relevant to them on a local level.
Visitors are able to select the area that is closest to them and read the local information.
Each area page will display the latest Try and See Offer and money back guarantee details. Visitors will also be able to view the “Meet The Team” page to view the individual driving instructors that conduct driving lessons in that particular town or City and check out what they look like, their tuition vehicle and perhaps more importantly, what previous customers have to say about their tuition.
Kelvin White Driving School offer “success Based Lessons”, so what exactly does that mean? It means that each driving lesson is constructed to both build confidence as well as learning new skills or building on existing skills. The school conducts client centred lessons, which involves pupil interaction as to what will be covered on each session and how and why it fits in to the learning syllabus.
Each lesson will commence with an interactive discussion to establish the subject to be covered. It’s important that pupils completely understand what the objective of each lesson is and what they are looking to achieve during the session. A successful lesson is one that can be measured from the setting of the objective to the closing summary to ascertain what has been learnt and how that knowledge and skill will take the learner closer to their goal of successfully passing their driving test and keeping them safe on Britain’s roads.
Visitors to this website will also find information on, what is a driving school, what makes a good driving lesson, what defines a driving instructor, how to gauge quality driving lessons, driving with parents, tips on how to choose your driving instructor and the 8 success steps guide to a 1st time pass.
Other useful articles can be found on; how to apply for your 1st provisional licence, booking your theory test and information on your practical driving test.
Please explore our website and read what we have to offer. Should you come to the conclusion that we would be your best option to prepare you for your driving test, then simply call our customer services number from the relevant area page and Andy and Sandra will be delighted to listen to your requirements, check current availability and match you with one of our local instructors.
Thank you for your visit and good luck with your driving experience.

[H2] Lesson Booking Form

Dialog window

Cost and Pricing:
Many learner students and their parents assume that all Driving Schools and Driving Instructors are the same! After all, they are qualified and trained to prepare you to pass your driving test, aren’t they? Well it may come as a surprise but not all Driving Instructors are qualified at all! It’s been a long-standing issue within the driving school industry that ‘trainee’ instructors are allowed by law to provide lessons at the same lesson rate as fully qualified instructors! Personally, I think this practice is very wrong and many Driving Schools do not mention this fact when students are booking their lessons. There are a couple of things you can do to find out if your allocated Instructor is fully qualified: 1. Ask at the time of booking and 2. Check their operating licence that should be in the front window of the tuition vehicle. A PINK licence indicates a trainee that is yet to pass their qualifying exam and a GREEN licence for a fully qualified Instructor.

Lest assume that your Instructor is fully qualified. Instructors vary enormously in the way they teach the syllabus and the quality of their teaching. They also vary in customer skills when it comes to their patients and friendliness. It is quite disturbing that around 30% of all learner drivers feel the need to change their driving instructor before reaching test standard because of incompatibility issues or the lack of student progress. Many Instructors work as sole operators and have no requirement for ongoing training. In fact, many independent Instructors never take any further training from the day that they qualified. Very few Driving Schools monitor their driving instructor’s performance and provide ongoing training to ensure they keep up to date with modern teaching methods.

Ever since I qualified myself over twenty years ago and started the Driving School, my approach has always been to provide outstanding value for money and customer rapport. As I started to grow the School, my main concern was how I could scale the School but still retain my own ethics. I was alarmed in the early days just how poor some of our early Instructor recruits were and the general standard of tuition being offered in the local area.

It was for this reason that we opened our own Instructor Training Academy during 2007. The only way I was able to guarantee that we only recruited the very best Instructors, was to teach and prepare them ourselves. All our Instructors now must come through our own Training Academy and take a comprehensive 80-hour course and qualify before they can teach any of our learner students.

As you can probably appreciate, the cost to prepare the very best Instructors is considerable and then we must pay them a suitable lesson fee to retain their services.

So how is this a benefit to you, the student? We operate a unique ALS (Accelerated Learning System) which as the name suggests, is in place to speed up your learning period and ensure you receive full value for your money. All our Instructors are trained on this system and we have quality control procedures in place to monitor the tuition you receive. You will also be provided with feedback forms on your Instructor, so you are able to mark them on their performance for all aspects of their interaction with you.

Your driving lessons will adhere to the DVSA’s client centred policy and will be interactive so you will have a big input to how they are conducted. This policy eliminates many frustrations that students encounter with large amounts of time parked at the kerbside and endless hours of aimless driving around with no firm lesson objective.

You can access full details of our unique  ALS system by watching the main video on this page – ‘Save your time and your money by watching this video’.

Hopefully, I have been able to enlighten you as to why driving lesson prices vary enormously and explain why Driving Instructors are not all the same. Purchasing what appear to be ‘cheap’ lessons and a good deal is tempting, especially when on a tight budget, but like most things in life, there is often a hidden cost to cheap and that is quite often a much longer learning period, frustration at the lack of progress and the expense of a failed test and having to take further lessons.

We operate a very simple pricing policy:
Monday – Saturday:
Manual Lesson fees are £40.00 per hour with a minimum of two-hour lessons (£80.00)
Block Booking Discount when you purchase 10 Hours of -£20 (£380.00)

Automatic Lessons are £43.00 per hour with a minimum of two-hour lessons (£86.00)
Block Booking Discount when you purchase 10 Hours of -£20 (£410.00)

Sundays:
Manual Lesson fees are £50.00 per hour with a minimum of two-hour lessons (£100.00)
Automatic Lessons are £53.00 per hour with a minimum of two-hour lessons (£106.00)
* There are no discounts on Sunday lessons.

We suggest that if possible, you purchase a block of ten hours to benefit from the £20 discount. If for any reason you are not delighted with your instructor and your tuition, I will make a refund and any unused lessons purchased will also be refunded.

We operate a 48-hour pre-pay policy and your nominated instructor will contact you regarding payment via bank transfer.
PLEASE NOTE!
We do not take cash on the day of your lesson.

Unique Accelerated Learning System:
Hi, my name is Kelvin White and I am the owner here at Kelvin white Driving School.
If you can spare a few moments of your time, I will explain why our unique accelerated learning system can be a massive benefit to you.
It’s very disturbing that so many driving lessons lack any real structure, they involve aimless driving around with no agreed objective that can be measured leading to lack of progress and a huge amount of frustration and wasted money. Another poor practice is to not structure lessons in a sequence that will help you develop your knowledge and skill level by ensuring that your early lessons are conducted in an area with few distractions. Far too often, we hear from students that are asked to drive through town centres or deal with very busy roundabouts, when they have barely learnt the skills to move off safely and deal with simple junctions. This practice can be a disaster and lead to a massive lack of confidence, even leading to the termination of lessons in some cases.
The 1st time pass rate in our local area is below 50% and over 30% of all learner drivers feel the need to change their driving instructor during the learning process.  This is a very poor reflection on the standards of tuition currently being offered.
So, what exactly is the Unique Accelerated Learning System?
It’s a method of learning that is recommended by the governing body, the DVSA. It encourages interaction between Instructor and student to ensure the shortest learning time and therefore provide you with the maximum value for your money.
We have taken this process way above the basic recommendations.
We conduct all our driving lessons to comply with the DVSA’s recommended client centred learning procedure.
We will offer you a lesson refund should you feel that our instructors have not followed the procedure and delivered the highest quality tuition.

So how does the ALS (Accelerated Learning System) work?

Your Instructor will produce a new ALS lesson sheet for each lesson that you take.
Your name, the date and the actual time your Instructor arrived for your lesson will be entered onto the ALS sheet.
There will be an interactive discussion between you and your Instructor to decide what you wish to cover during the lesson. You may wish to revisit a topic from previous leaning for further practice or you may wish to tackle a new topic.
Let’s say that you wish to revisit a previous topic. Your Instructor will discuss the reasons that you wish to revisit and address any concerns that you may have.
He/she will then check that you have full understanding of the theory behind the topic, very important as much time can be wasted driving around without understanding the theory as this often leads to frustration and a lack of progress.
You will then be asked what you wish to achieve by revisiting the topic. (For example: You wish to improve your confidence and emerging at roundabouts) A plan of action will then be documented by your Instructor and this will become the lesson objective. (you may have several objectives in the same lesson, especially during a two-hour lesson)
Your Instructor will then devise a suitable route that will include several roundabouts in this case, so you will be able to practice your skills and work toward improving your confidence.
There will be periodic stops to assess your progress and to address any concerns you may have. Your Instructor will encourage you to start taking more responsibility until you feel that you have achieved your objective
If time allows, you will then repeat the process by choosing to revisit another topic or tackle a new one
At the end of your lesson, there will be an interactive recap and summary to determine whether you achieved your objective(s) if not, feedback will be given as to why not and a suggestion made to revisit on a future lesson.
You will be asked to sign the ALS Lesson sheet as a true reflection of events

This is the DVSA’s preferred policy for client centred learning as it is proven to provide maximum value for your money. We enhance the process even further by using our own unique ALS lesson sheets to ensure the lesson structure is maintained with documentation.

In addition, we also guarantee every single lesson and unless you are completely satisfied that your Instructor gave y

[H4] Mariah Lovett, Bridgwater.

“I chose Kelvin White Driving School as I wanted someone that was patient. I also saw that the school had good reviews.
Learning to drive was easier than expected as Paul made lessons with good structure and a really easy learning methods to be able to retain the information.
Paul had excellent teaching methods as he adapted to my learning methods and if I didn’t understand how to do something one way he would always try his best to explain.
He worked incredibly well to melt away all my fears about driving and I cannot thank him enough. It was an absolute pleasure to have been taught by him.
My driving instructor always met my needs.”

[H4] James Christodoulou, Bridgwater.
“I wanted a recognisable company, so chose Kelvin White Driving School.
Initially being nervous from previous driving experiences, after my first lesson with Pete I was eager to learn and would look forward to every lesson.
I now thoroughly enjoy driving which I thought I never would.
Pete’s calm and methodical approach made me feel very comfortable. Peter was like a calming breeze on a hot day. If he ever gave up driving instructing I believe he would make a fantastic therapist!
I would definitely recommend the company and particularly Peter. In fact I have recommended him. The simple fact is he made me enjoy driving which is something I never thought I’d do.”

[H4] Tom Chidgey, Bridgwater.

“I chose Kelvin White Driving School as I knew they were a highly respected and well-known school in Somerset. Also I saw their amazing success rates after looking at their facebook page.
Steve’s teaching methods could not of been better. There were instances when a reference point didn’t work for me, but Steve quickly suggested another which completely fixed the issue!
Also, Steve would always ask specifically what I wanted to do for the 2 hours along with what I wanted to achieve by the end.
I would 100% recommend to others as the school has such a good way of teaching in a short amount of time, and doesn’t waste a single minute of any lesson. Also, the school always put the student’s first in terms of working around dates etc, even when Steve wouldn’t normally work on that day, he managed to!”

You Ask – We Answer

[H5] Will i Drive On My 1st lesson?
Yes, you will definitely be driving on your first lesson.
If you are new to driving, your Instructor will drive you to a suitable location to get you started. It’s vital that your first few lessons are conducted in an area that will ensure your success and build your confidence.
Your Instructor will take a few minutes to record your licence details, test your eyesight and explain how to adjust your seat, head restraint and make sure you are comfortable.
He/she will then explain the controls that you will need to operate during your first lesson.
You will then be given a briefing on the move off and stop procedure with a short discussion to ensure you understand what is required. Your Instructor will then give you full talk through and guide you through your practical driving session. You will be able to learn at your own pace and your lesson will progress as and when you feel ready.
All your lessons will be structured using our unique ALS (Accelerated Learning System) to ensure you receive the maximum value for your money. Your early lessons will be in quiet areas, mainly on housing estates so you can build your confidence.
Full details on our unique Accelerated Learning System can be accessed by watching the main video on this page titled ‘Save Your Time and Money’.

[H5] Do You Offer A Block Booking Discount?
Yes, we do.
We suggest that if possible, you purchase a block of ten hours to benefit from the £20 discount. If for any reason you are not delighted with your instructor and your tuition, I will make a refund and any unused lessons purchased will also be refunded.
Full lesson pricing details can be found by clicking the ‘Lesson Prices’ button just above the four contact methods.

[H5] Do you offer 1 hour lessons?
You may be thinking of taking 1-hour lessons and Just to be clear and give you a balanced view, there is nothing wrong with 1-hour lessons, we just feel that they offer less value for your money as they prolong the learning period substantially.
Another of the drawbacks is having to take time from your lesson to drive to a suitable location that is relevant to cover the topic and then having to drive back again.
So, should you prefer to take less than two-hour lessons, we would not be the right driving school for you as we don’t offer them.

[H5] You have over 600 positive customer reviews, but about negative reviews?
We aim to be as transparent as possible and despite our best endeavours, when you have been providing driving lessons for over twenty years and taught thousands of students, there will be mistakes made and misunderstandings on both sides.
We raise our hands and if we have failed to deliver the best possible experience, then we are truly sorry.
We have trolled both Facebook and Google and gathered any negative reviews that we could find and have listed them below.

[H5] Do you offer a money back guarantee?
Yes, we do.
In fact, we offer an industry leading 9 Star Guarantee and I will offer you a refund on EVERY lesson you take unless you are delighted with both the tuition and service you receive.
You can access full details of the 9 Start Guarantee by clicking the ‘Learn More’ Button at the top of this page.

[H5] How much are your lessons?
Please click the Yellow ‘Lesson Prices’ Button just above the four ways you can make contact for full lesson pricing details.

[H5] Do you offer intensive or crash courses?
Please click the ‘Are we the right school for you’ Button for a full explanation of the services we offer.

[H5] Do you offer lessons in an Automatic vehicle?
Yes, we do.
Please click the Yellow ‘Lesson Prices’ Button just above the four ways you can make contact for full lesson pricing details.

[H5] How many lessons a week do you recommend?
We find that taking a 2-hour lesson every week, proves to be the most successful strategy for most students. Two-hour lessons would be far more beneficial to you. You will learn far more for your money and you will also be test ready in half the time. You will have a decent amount of condensed learning in one go with time to digest and be focused for your next lesson.
Sometimes students think that they would be unable to concentrate for a period of two hours, but this is why we would ‘chunk’ your lessons and break up the two hour slot to cover several topics, just as they do in the school curriculum to keep the learning fresh and focused.
Taking a regular weekly lesson has proven success as it provides continuity, the retention of knowledge and it will reduce your learning period. We will aim to offer you a regular lesson slot that you can book in advance and keep from the time you commence your lessons until you pass your test.
You will also be able to book more than one lesson slot per week should you wish to reduce your learning period and be test ready sooner. (Subject to instructor availability)

[H5] Do you offer lessons at weekends or just during the week?
Yes, we do offer lessons on Saturdays but not on Sundays unfortunately.
Saturday lessons are always in high demand and will be subject to availability.

[H5] How many lessons do you think I will need?
It’s almost impossible to know until you begin your tuition.
The DVSA suggest that the average is around 46 hours, but we find that most of our students are test ready much sooner. It really does depend on the individual, but our recommendation is to book ten hours of lessons and once completed, you will have a much better idea of the number of lesson you will need.

You Ask – We Answer

[H5] Will i Drive On My 1st lesson?
Yes, you will definitely be driving on your first lesson.
If you are new to driving, your Instructor will drive you to a suitable location to get you started. It’s vital that your first few lessons are conducted in an area that will ensure your success and build your confidence.
Your Instructor will take a few minutes to record your licence details, test your eyesight and explain how to adjust your seat, head restraint and make sure you are comfortable.
He/she will then explain the controls that you will need to operate during your first lesson.
You will then be given a briefing on the move off and stop procedure with a short discussion to ensure you understand what is required. Your Instructor will then give you full talk through and guide you through your practical driving session. You will be able to learn at your own pace and your lesson will progress as and when you feel ready.
All your lessons will be structured using our unique ALS (Accelerated Learning System) to ensure you receive the maximum value for your money. Your early lessons will be in quiet areas, mainly on housing estates so you can build your confidence.
Full details on our unique Accelerated Learning System can be accessed by watching the main video on this page titled ‘Save Your Time and Money’.

[H5] Do You Offer A Block Booking Discount?
Yes, we do.
We suggest that if possible, you purchase a block of ten hours to benefit from the £20 discount. If for any reason you are not delighted with your instructor and your tuition, I will make a refund and any unused lessons purchased will also be refunded.
Full lesson pricing details can be found by clicking the ‘Lesson Prices’ button just above the four contact methods.

[H5] Do you offer 1 hour lessons?
You may be thinking of taking 1-hour lessons and Just to be clear and give you a balanced view, there is nothing wrong with 1-hour lessons, we just feel that they offer less value for your money as they prolong the learning period substantially.
Another of the drawbacks is having to take time from your lesson to drive to a suitable location that is relevant to cover the topic and then having to drive back again.
So, should you prefer to take less than two-hour lessons, we would not be the right driving school for you as we don’t offer them.

[H5] You have over 600 positive customer reviews, but about negative reviews?
We aim to be as transparent as possible and despite our best endeavours, when you have been providing driving lessons for over twenty years and taught thousands of students, there will be mistakes made and misunderstandings on both sides.
We raise our hands and if we have failed to deliver the best possible experience, then we are truly sorry.
We have trolled both Facebook and Google and gathered any negative reviews that we could find and have listed them below.

[H5] Do you offer a money back guarantee?
Yes, we do.
In fact, we offer an industry leading 9 Star Guarantee and I will offer you a refund on EVERY lesson you take unless you are delighted with both the tuition and service you receive.
You can access full details of the 9 Start Guarantee by clicking the ‘Learn More’ Button at the top of this page.

[H5] How much are your lessons?
Please click the Yellow ‘Lesson Prices’ Button just above the four ways you can make contact for full lesson pricing details.

[H5] Do you offer intensive or crash courses?
Please click the ‘Are we the right school for you’ Button for a full explanation of the services we offer.

[H5] Do you offer lessons in an Automatic vehicle?
Yes, we do in the Bridgwater and Taunton area.
Please click the Yellow ‘Lesson Prices’ Button just above the four ways you can make contact for full lesson pricing details.

[H5] How many lessons a week do you recommend?
We find that taking a 2-hour lesson every week, proves to be the most successful strategy for most students. Two-hour lessons would be far more beneficial to you. You will learn far more for your money and you will also be test ready in half the time. You will have a decent amount of condensed learning in one go with time to digest and be focused for your next lesson.
Sometimes students think that they would be unable to concentrate for a period of two hours, but this is why we would ‘chunk’ your lessons and break up the two hour slot to cover several topics, just as they do in the school curriculum to keep the learning fresh and focused.
Taking a regular weekly lesson has proven success as it provides continuity, the retention of knowledge and it will reduce your learning period. We will aim to offer you a regular lesson slot that you can book in advance and keep from the time you commence your lessons until you pass your test.
You will also be able to book more than one lesson slot per week should you wish to reduce your learning period and be test ready sooner. (Subject to instructor availability)

[H5] Your Title Goes Here
Yes, we do, however your lessons do have to be pre-paid 48 hours in advance. We do not accept cash on the day of your lessons, but you are most welcome to pay each week as you go using your preferred method of payment.

We will always pick you up at your preferred location. That could be from College, your home, work or anywhere else you choose. We will also drop you off at your preferred location.

[H5] Do you offer one-hour lessons?
Just to be clear and give you a balanced view, there is nothing wrong with 1-hour lessons, we just feel that they offer less value for your money as they prolong the learning period substantially. Another of the drawbacks is having to take time from your lesson to drive to a suitable location that is relevant to cover the topic and then having to drive back again. So, should you prefer to take less than two-hour lessons, we would not be the right driving school for you as we don’t offer them.

You can research further by watching the video on this website – Are we the right driving school for you?

[H5] Do you have female instructors?
Unfortunately, we don’t have any female instructors that cover the Bridgwater area at the moment.

[H5] What is your 1st time pass rate?
We are very proud of our 1st time pass rate and our instructors deserve a lot of credit for their hard work. Its impossible to give the exact % as we have tests almost every day and it will continually change.

[H4] Sophie Rhodes, Somerton.

‘I chose Kelvin White Driving School because of their good first time pass rates.
Also being able to be flexible with my schedule was important.
Learning to drive was very similar to what I expected- a lot of things I learnt which I wasn’t aware of as well!
Des had very helpful teaching methods!
I will be recommending to others as Des was a lovely instructor, good teaching methods and tips.”

[IMG: Alastair Smith, Taunton.]

[H4] Archie Curtis, Somerton..
“A few of my Mum’s friends children had passed with Kelvin White driving school and you are extremely highly recommended!
I am the youngest of four and I’m determined to pass!
My three older brothers still haven’t quite got there. Des was amazing, his patience was absolutely spot-on.
I am an over thinker and Des was very firm and clear and understood me.
1000% I would recommend you to others. My older brother Max is learning with Des as we speak but taking time off until he passes his theory.
There is nothing to make your service any better, I enjoyed driving with Des.”

[IMG: Laura Winzer of Minehead]

[H4] Mia Alcindor, Somerton.

“I chose Kelvin White DrivIng School because I wanted an understanding and friendly instructor that also knows how to teach effectively.
Also an instructor that actually cares to help a student pass.
I thought learning to drive would be much scarier than it was!
Des had very effective teaching methods.
Not only do you learn quickly, you also create a good bond with your instructor which helps break the ice, making it more easier and comfortable in order to pass.”

You Ask – We Answer

[H5] Will i Drive On My 1st lesson?
Yes, you will definitely be driving on your first lesson.
If you are new to driving, your Instructor will drive you to a suitable location to get you started. It’s vital that your first few lessons are conducted in an area that will ensure your success and build your confidence.
Your Instructor will take a few minutes to record your licence details, test your eyesight and explain how to adjust your seat, head restraint and make sure you are comfortable.
He/she will then explain the controls that you will need to operate during your first lesson.
You will then be given a briefing on the move off and stop procedure with a short discussion to ensure you understand what is required. Your Instructor will then give you full talk through and guide you through your practical driving session. You will be able to learn at your own pace and your lesson will progress as and when you feel ready.
All your lessons will be structured using our unique ALS (Accelerated Learning System) to ensure you receive the maximum value for your money. Your early lessons will be in quiet areas, mainly on housing estates so you can build your confidence.
Full details on our unique Accelerated Learning System can be accessed by watching the main video on this page titled ‘Save Your Time and Money’.

[H5] Do You Offer A Block Booking Discount?
Yes, we do.
We suggest that if possible, you purchase a block of ten hours to benefit from the £20 discount. If for any reason you are not delighted with your instructor and your tuition, I will make a refund and any unused lessons purchased will also be refunded.
Full lesson pricing details can be found by clicking the ‘Lesson Prices’ button just above the four contact methods.

[H5] Do you offer 1 hour lessons?
You may be thinking of taking 1-hour lessons and Just to be clear and give you a balanced view, there is nothing wrong with 1-hour lessons, we just feel that they offer less value for your money as they prolong the learning period substantially.
Another of the drawbacks is having to take time from your lesson to drive to a suitable location that is relevant to cover the topic and then having to drive back again.
So, should you prefer to take less than two-hour lessons, we would not be the right driving school for you as we don’t offer them.

[H5] You have over 600 positive customer reviews, but about negative reviews?
We aim to be as transparent as possible and despite our best endeavours, when you have been providing driving lessons for over twenty years and taught thousands of students, there will be mistakes made and misunderstandings on both sides.
We raise our hands and if we have failed to deliver the best possible experience, then we are truly sorry.
We have trolled both Facebook and Google and gathered any negative reviews that we could find and have listed them below.

[H5] Do you offer a money back guarantee?
Yes, we do.
In fact, we offer an industry leading 9 Star Guarantee and I will offer you a refund on EVERY lesson you take unless you are delighted with both the tuition and service you receive.
You can access full details of the 9 Start Guarantee by clicking the ‘Learn More’ Button at the top of this page.

[H5] How many lessons a week do you recommend?
We find that taking a 2-hour lesson every week, proves to be the most successful strategy for most students. Two-hour lessons would be far more beneficial to you. You will learn far more for your money and you will also be test ready in half the time. You will have a decent amount of condensed learning in one go with time to digest and be focused for your next lesson.
Sometimes students think that they would be unable to concentrate for a period of two hours, but this is why we would ‘chunk’ your lessons and break up the two hour slot to cover several topics, just as they do in the school curriculum to keep the learning fresh and focused.
Taking a regular weekly lesson has proven success as it provides continuity, the retention of knowledge and it will reduce your learning period. We will aim to offer you a regular lesson slot that you can book in advance and keep from the time you commence your lessons until you pass your test.
You will also be able to book more than one lesson slot per week should you wish to reduce your learning period and be test ready sooner. (Subject to instructor availability)

[H5] Do you offer lessons at weekends or just during the week?
Yes, we do offer lessons on Saturdays but not on Sundays unfortunately.
Saturday lessons are always in high demand and will be subject to availability.

[H5] How many lessons do you think I will need?
It’s almost impossible to know until you begin your tuition.
The DVSA suggest that the average is around 46 hours, but we find that most of our students are test ready much sooner. It really does depend on the individual, but our recommendation is to book ten hours of lessons and once completed, you will have a much better idea of the number of lesson you will need.
