Top Driving Schools In The Midlands img

So, previously we had spoken about driving schools in the South of England. Now, we are going to look at a great selection of driving schools in the Midlands. Remember, wherever you are learning to drive, it's always important to do your research when it comes to lessons.

Pro Teach – Burton-On-Trent

They don’t call themselves pros for nothing. ProTeach provide friendly and reliable tuition for all types of students. Whether you’re changing instructors, a nervous first timer, an experienced learner or need manual or automatic tuition, ProTeach can teach you. For those who can't wait to get their licence, ProTeach prides itself on being able to make students test ready in record time, without glazing over any essential details. Based in Burton-on-Trent, ProTeach also provides tuition to its neighbouring areas (Lichfield, Derby, Swadlincote and more). TESTIMONIAL

 "I’ve had 4 instructors, due to moving house and working abroad etc ... I can honestly say Scott Pilcher is the best one..."  Sarah

Hourly Rate: £24 Manual / £26 Automatic (see website for offers and block bookings).


KC Driving - Coventry & Nuneaton

KC Driving (run by Keith Caunter) invests a lot of time experimenting with new teaching techniques, to optimise their student success and satisfaction. The most utilised technique Keith employs is 'client centred learning', where lessons are based on how the 'learner' wants to be taught. Not just satisfied with teaching you in the car, KC Driving's website has plenty of resources available for their learners to use. From show me, tell me tips, to insurance advice after you pass. Not sure if you're test ready? They can advise you on that too. With the ambitious goal of becoming the market leaders in driving lessons for Coventry and Nuneaton, KC Driving has its work cut out. However, according to some of their learner testimonies, they may just succeed in that ambition! TESTIMONIAL

"Keith is an Excellent instructor, he made me feel comfortable from the start of my lessons. He is very patient and explains things well..." Heidi

Hourly Rate: £27 (see website for offers and block bookings).


Andy 1st Driving School – Birmingham

What is particularly special about Andy 1st Driving School is their key focus on, something we at InsureLearnerDriver always advocate; safety and awareness. Your safety is, in their own words, "Paramount" to them. That is why they push their students to hone their observational skills and hazard awareness abilities, to perfection. Instructors are constantly kept on their toes. They are regularly tested to ensure they are meeting DSA standards and are reaching Andy 1st Driving School's high expectations. More than just a driving school, Andy 1st Driving School has branched out into the car leasing service too. They lease a selection of trendy modern cars, such as the Citroen C4 HDI VTR or Hyundai i30 CRDI, from as low as £50 a week. TESTIMONIAL

"An amazing school, I have been with instructors that never knew how to really explain certain aspects of driving. My instructor Jayne was amazing, she gave me confidence and support, also advice when I needed. I would recommend this school to anyone!" Priya

Hourly Rate: £23 (see site for offers, block bookings and leasing options).


Startin Young - Worcestershire

Startin Young is the only school on our list to feature standard driving lessons as well as courses for under 17s. 'Startin Young' provides driving courses for those precocious youngsters who want to start driving before they turn 17 (designed for those aged 10 -17). As they say on their website: "why go pottering round some cones in a car park. What you need is a large open road site, where you can use the gears effectively 'and' learn how to steer in a real time driving environment". Startin Young has full confidence in their team and that you will be satisfied with your driving lessons. In fact, they are so confident, that they offer a money back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with any of the lessons! Don't think they forget about you after you pass either. Receive a refresher course up to three years after passing your test, on anything you want; great for those who have just passed their test but have to wait a while before they can afford their own car. TESTIMONIAL

"I really liked Pete's common sense approach to teaching. He explained everything thoroughly, so I really understood what I was doing and why I was doing it. He helped me keep calm and helped get rid of some silly driving habits that my previous instructor had taught me." Laura

Hourly Rate: £27 for standard driving lessons (see website for offers and block bookings).


Leicester Driving School - Leicester

Offering training in and around Leicester, Leicester Driving School trains students with fully qualified, professional and friendly instructors. They feel lessons shouldn't be a chore and driving is more than getting you from point A to B, it should be fun. That is why they instil a relaxed, chilled atmosphere during lessons. It's probably also why they advertise their services as a potential gift, offering gift vouchers for driving lessons on their site. Leicester Driving School knows your time is valuable, so they focus on booking in lessons around your schedule. Whether you need picking up from home, work, day or evening, they will fit their schedule around yours. For companies who want to better train their drivers, Leicester Driving School also offers fleet training. A scheme that they feel helps promote a safe company image and helps to reduce employee accidents and injuries. TESTIMONIAL

"Had to change driving schools a few times as I felt I was getting nowhere, but it was different with Leicester Driving Academy, they were punctual, understanding and most of all made things easy and simple. Definitely recommended" Arana

Hourly Rate: £22 (see website for offers and block bookings).
