High Pass Rates
Helping You Pass... First Time
We’re proud of our high first-time pass rate and the success of our learners across Derby. Each lesson is designed to build confidence, develop real driving skills, and prepare you for everything the test — and real-world driving — can bring. With patient instruction, clear feedback, and plenty of local route knowledge, we’ll help you feel calm, capable, and ready to pass when the big day arrives.
Your Learning Journey...
Begin with an introduction to driving. Meet your instructor, learn about the car’s controls, and build confidence from the driver’s seat. It’s all about feeling comfortable and setting the foundations for success.
You’ll progress through real-world driving situations — junctions, roundabouts, and local Derby test routes. Each lesson focuses on developing control, awareness, and confidence behind the wheel.
As your confidence grows, we’ll focus on mock tests, manoeuvres, and fine-tuning your driving habits. You’ll learn what examiners look for and how to stay calm under pressure.
You’ve mastered the road — now it’s time to pass your test and enjoy your freedom. We also offer refresher and motorway lessons to keep your driving skills sharp after you pass.
