We offer manual & automatic lessons with qualified instructors who are local to you. Some schools give you 45 or 50 minute lessons, we believe in giving you value for money, so all our lessons are a full 1 hour (or multiples of) with door to door service & solo tuition.

1st time pass at Belvedere

Just passed my driving test as Belvedere test centre.
I would like to send a special thank you to my instructor. Pierre is a very patient teacher. He makes driving look simple and explains everything in such an easy manner. Thank you very much!!!

Start now!

5
Getting my licence was something I put off for way too many years.

I'm glad that when I finally decided to do it, I had an instructor like Omer to help me - with 20 hours of instruction and 4 mock tests I was able to pass first time.

Start now because it can be a long process.

If you're having trouble finding a test slot, set an alarm for 5:55am on a Monday ;)

Graham

5
I had Graham as my driving instructor who I would thoroughly recommend! He took me from never driving before, to passing my test with just 2 minors. Graham filled me with confidence, and provided me with essential skills to be a safe driver, enabling me to drive on the motorway & A20 for my first solo drive. Graham was patient and always provided clear instructions whilst making me feel comfortable with his professionalism. I highly recommend Graham to anyone! Thanks so much once again!
