Every learner moves through the same five stages. How long each one takes is up to you; the hours below are what our learners usually need.
An empty car park, walking pace, nobody watching. Clutch, steering and mirrors until they feel boring.
4–6 hoursJunctions, roundabouts, cyclists and the school run, one new thing at a time.
8–12 hoursDual carriageways, the motorway, driving at night and in proper Manchester rain.
6–10 hoursReal test routes, a real marking sheet and honest feedback on every minor.
2–4 hoursA warm-up drive in the car you learned in, and your instructor waiting outside.
2 hoursAll-inclusive lessons
Your lesson price covers the dual-control car, fuel, insurance, pick-up and drop-off, and the theory app.
No booking fee, no test-day surcharge, no hidden extras. You pay for the hours you drive, and those hours are all you pay for.

Our cars
Six small, modern hatchbacks, manual and automatic, two of them electric. Each has a second set of pedals on the passenger side, so your instructor can step in long before you would need to worry.
Instructors
Four instructors, all approved by the DVSA, all chosen first for patience. Pick the one who sounds like you, or simply the one who is free.
A former examiner. Knows every test route from Cheetham Hill to Sale, and tells you which roundabouts matter.

Pick-up zone
Lessons start and end wherever you are: home, college or work, anywhere in these twenty-four districts. Each district is coloured by its nearest test centre, so you practise on the roads your test will use.
Most of our learners are. Sweaty palms at the first junction are normal, and we plan every first lesson around them.
Good.
Nerves mean you are paying attention. We start in an empty car park, at walking pace, with nobody watching but us.
Let’s go.
When you are ready, and not a minute before, we head for real roads. Your instructor's pedals are there the whole way.
How we teach
Driving comes with its own jargon. Your instructor translates it before you need it, and never uses a word twice without checking you know it.
Recent passes
Eighty-one of our learners passed this year, fifty-eight of them first time. Here are a few of them, the week they got their licence.
“I failed twice with another school. Jess spent my first lesson in a car park talking about anything except driving. I passed first time with merge.”
Amira, passed in March
“Ravi told me exactly which roundabout catches people out at Cheetham Hill. It came up on my test. I was ready for it.”
Daniel, passed in May
“Two weeks, thirty hours, one test. Ola's intensive was the most tiring and the best fortnight of my summer.”
Kasia, passed in August
