Still unsure about something?

If you are still unsure about whether this is the sort of service you are looking for, our friends at Hidden disabilities have created an article on their website where they aim to raise awareness about learning to drive with a disability and have also recommended us as the go-to Specialist Driving School.

Looking to book a practical or theory test?

As a DVSA-approved Driving School, we have been given the authorisation to make practical or theory test bookings for any learner driver looking to book a test, and all you will need to do is get in contact with us and provide the following information:

  • Full name
  • Date of birth
  • Phone number
  • Your Driver’s Licence number
  • Email

Please note that to make a practical test booking, you need to have passed your theory test and you will of course still need to pay the appropriate fee required for booking your test (administrative fees may also apply).
