We work with learner drivers of all levels, and we are happy to tailor tuition around your experience. We will work with you as an individual to help you become confident behind the wheel of a manual gearbox vehicle, a safe driver and pass your test quickly – hopefully on your first attempt. Our students have an average first-time pass rate of 94%; We are very proud of this and look forward to adding you to that number.

Hi Will, working with you was a pleasure, your application to the things needed to improve your skills was amazing. Good luck with your classic car plans. Send me a picture of the yellow respray Emily Hughes26/11/2024 After a few years of learning to drive on and off and being unsuccessful on test day, it came down to two things: Confidence and not trusting my skills. Paul worked really hard to keep me calm and focused on my lessons and my confidence grew and grew. He also took the time to get to know me and what teaching styles would work best for me (I can be a tricky student to teach when learning new skills!) Paul and I had a lovely chilled drive before my test and helped to prepare me mentally and reduce any nerves. Passed my test first time with Paul and couldn't recommend learning to drive with him enough. Thank you so much Paul, I'm looking forward to improving on my skills and many safe years of driving ahead.

Have fun driving and good luck with the future 🚙 Alfie Booth22/11/2024 I can't recommend Paul from SDL highly enough! He was so easy to talk too which made the learning experience even better. He taught me the best techniques for driving and helped me get to grips with them on the easiest way possible which helped me pass my test. So grateful for Paul and I seriously recommend him!

Stay safe out there 🚗 Liam Platt12/11/2024 I passed today first time from Paul's teaching. He is very friendly and gives criticism in a constructive way. He has an excellent balance of being able to have a conversation with and instructing. He always remained professional and was always on time. He managed to fit me in when he was extremely busy and worked around when was best for me. I would highly recommend Paul to anybody. Thank you Paul.

It was a pleasure helping you Lauren. Your relentless effort was there from the start. Every bit deserved your pass with only 2 driver faults. Even the examiner was chuckling away after!! Michael Charlotte Boot07/11/2024 Brilliant instructor, after a few years of driving and no luck passing the test had a couple of lessons with Paul. Really helped to increase my confidence driving and focused on improving my driving not just focused on passing the test. Would recommend him to everyone!

We’d be delighted to answer your questions on an initial free & no obligation call.
Here are some FAQ’s to start with
How many lessons do I need to pass my test?
On average, learner drivers tend to require between 40 and 60 hours behind the wheel – a mixture of being with a professional driving instructor and private practice. However, each student is different and will learn at their own pace. We will tailor your lessons to you, ensuring that you become confident behind the wheel and feel ready to take your test as soon as possible.
How long do lessons last?
Standard lessons are either for 1 hour or 1.5 hours, starting from your home, workplace or other agreed pickup place. Many students feel that 1 hour is too short and 2 hours is too long, while the 1.5 hour sessions provide the right balance for the best learning experience. The only requirement before learning to drive with a driving school is to acquire a provisional licence. You can apply online or pick up a form from your local Post Office.
How often should I have lessons?
It is important to have lessons on a regular basis in order to build up your driving skills and confidence while maintaining the skills you are learning. It is best to have lessons at least once a week, and many students prefer to have two or three lessons each week. If you are interested in learning to drive as quickly as possible, we offer intensive driving courses.
What happens if I need to cancel my lesson?
Please note, you will be charged for the lesson if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the lesson start time, as there is not enough time to fill the space left by your late cancellation.
Do I need to have passed my Theory Test before I start my driving lessons?
No, you don’t need to pass before you drive. It’s a good thing to do this as you learn so what you read about you can see out on the road while you have your lessons
Are the lessons in a manual or automatic car?
All our vehicles have a manual gearbox, we do not provide automatic driver training.
