Learning to drive is easier when your lessons are built around you. The Driving School provides manual driving lessons and automatic driving lessons across Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot and the wider Torbay area, with friendly, experienced instructors helping learners build confidence and become safe, independent drivers.
Whether you’re getting behind the wheel for the first time, returning to driving after a break or looking to make faster progress towards your practical test, we can match your lessons to your experience and goals. Alongside regular manual and automatic tuition, we offer intensive driving lessons, refresher driving lessons and lessons for nervous drivers.
Our instructors know the local roads and the challenges learners encounter as they gain experience around South Devon. From busy town-centre traffic and junctions to quieter residential roads and more complex routes as your skills develop, your lessons are designed to give you useful experience in real driving situations, not simply prepare you to pass a test.
We teach learners throughout Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot and Torbay, as well as Totnes and Teignmouth. Explore the driving lessons available in your area, compare driving lesson prices, or book your driving lessons when you’re ready to get started.
