I have trained with Michael for my driving instructor qualification. With his help and support, I have passed all my exams first time and in the final exam has achieved grade A. Michael has many years of experience teaching people to pass their L tests and helping driving instructors to qualify. He is very patient and knowledgable. It's never a dull conversation with Michael. Thank you for your help and kindness!

Suitable For All Kinds of Drivers

Whether you are a naturally confident driver or struggle with nerves behind the wheel, we’ll give you the skills that you need to navigate the road successfully, and we’ll be on hand to offer all the support that you need. That’s why we are the provider of driving lessons Gillingham Kent learners recommend.

Flexible Driving Lessons Gillingham

We appreciate that all of our learners have different schedules, and for some finding the spare time for lessons can be a challenge. If you would prefer to take your lessons in the evening, at the weekends or even early in the morning, we will be able to work to meet your needs. Our instructors are self-employed and set their own hours – so we will be able to match you with an instructor who can fit around your schedule.

A lot of our learner drivers are juggling studies and careers. We are happy to start lessons at your workplace after you have finished your shift, or drop you off at sixth form, college or Uni so that you can go straight from the car to your lesson. We want you to be able to learn when and where it suits you.

Will I have the same driving instructor every week?

We believe that building a strong rapport with one driving instructor is so much better for a learner than seeing a different instructor every time. That’s why you’ll be learning with the same person every time, week after week. Your instructor will get to know you and will be able to identify your key strengths and weaknesses, and you’ll feel comfortable enough to ask them any questions.

The DVSA recommends that learner drivers take 45 hours of lessons before they book a test, along with 22 hours of practising. However, every person is different, and you may need more or less than this to pass your test. What we can guarantee is that we will help you pass your test as quickly as possible, and we’ll be on hand to give you all the theoretical and practical support you need.

You can book your theory test before you start your lessons, or you may feel more confident once you have spent some time behind the wheel. When you learn with us, you’ll be able to take ad-vantage of our theory study programme to help you memorise everything you’ll need to know for your exam.

Testimonials

I was taught by Geoff for about 2 months and I went to my test and passed the first time with this company and I would highly recommend Geoff and the company ad he teaches really well, he ensures that you end up being a driver and not a learner and i felt that is a really respectable quality when it comes to a teacher. I could not say any bad experience and was extremely happy

Alen Thomas

For any one wanting to learn to drive but not sure who to go with I definitely recommend Nayland, with his great help I passed first time and in just over three months, the lessons were great I always looked forward to them as Michael is a lovely guy and very down to earth, and up for a laugh 🙂 but he is also very patient for any one who is nervous about driving. 🙂

Harriet Osborn Davies

Thanks a lot to Dave, very calm and professional instructor. Passed after 20h, would definitely recommend.

Mikolaj Witkowski

I passed my test first time, I didn’t need to use any other instructor as Michael gave me all the advice I needed, down to earth, practical and easy to understand. While learning to drive can be stressful, Micheal made it so easy for me. I enjoyed learning and looked forward to the lessons as they were really enjoyable, if you want to learn to drive with someone that will make it enjoyable and practical Micheal is the guy! guy.

Peter Callaghan

Before having Michael as a driving instructor I was with someone else! I was given his number through a recommendation, and his lessons gave me the confidence to pass my test! Michael has great prices and deals, to suit anyone! I have now been driving a year, and I have recommended many people to go with him and they have gone on to pass very fast! 🙂

Amy Cowlin
