Our Services
Manual Driving Lessons
Our manual driving lessons are ideal for learners who want full control over their vehicle and a driving licence with fewer restrictions. Lessons follow a progressive structure that builds your confidence in handling gears, clutch control, and more complex driving environments. You’ll develop road awareness and technical skills that make you a well-rounded, independent driver.
Automatic Driving Lessons
Automatic lessons simplify the learning process, making them especially popular for nervous drivers or those seeking a quicker route to passing. With no clutch or gear shifting to manage, you can focus more on road positioning, observations, and hazard response. These lessons are available across Manchester and taught in fully insured, dual-controlled vehicles.
Mock Driving Test
Our mock tests give you the opportunity to experience a full-length driving exam in advance. You’ll drive a test route used by DVSA examiners under realistic conditions, helping to reduce anxiety and highlight areas for improvement. We provide detailed feedback after each mock so you know exactly what to work on before the real test.
Motorway Driving Lessons
Motorways present unique challenges such as merging traffic, higher speeds, and lane discipline. Our motorway lessons prepare new drivers and recent passers to navigate these roads safely and confidently. Learn how to manage overtaking, spot safe gaps, and handle longer journeys—all with a qualified instructor by your side.
Refresher Driving Lessons
If it’s been a while since you last drove, or you’re feeling unsure about certain aspects of driving, our refresher lessons are here to help. Tailored to your needs, they cover anything from parking and roundabouts to dual carriageways and general confidence-building. Many returning drivers find these sessions invaluable after moving areas or recovering from incidents.
Theory Training & Test Booking
We support you through your theory test journey with revision guidance, booking assistance, and ongoing encouragement. Whether you’re learning independently or alongside practical lessons, our team helps you master road signs, hazard perception, and the Highway Code. Our support reduces test-day nerves and increases first-time pass rates.
Driving Instructor Training
Looking to launch a new career? Our instructor training programme provides full support for both Part 1 (theory) and Part 2/3 (in-car assessments). You’ll learn teaching techniques, route planning, driver safety, and exam preparation from experienced professionals. Whether you’re training full-time or around your current job, we’ll help you become a confident, qualified ADI.
