Inspires learning

We have a pass-rate of about 80% (the national pass-rate is 45 - 50%). Most of our students pass first time with 5 or fewer driving faults (we’ve even had a few perfect drives with zero faults recorded). Do you need to pass quickly or within a limited budget ? Typically we require 30 - 40 hours of training to get our students to test standard although many of our students have achieved success within 20 hours. We also appreciate that some students need a more relaxed schedule to learn effectively. Please be assured that whatever your needs we have the expertise and experience to get you to the required standard as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Let’s hear more about the Miles Ahead experience from some of our recent students who’ve been there and done it:

I had a huge confidence knock in my driving when I failed my driving test with another school; and so, I started to learn with Paul. He was very helpful and patient. He would always explain what to do when I didn’t know but he also let me learn by trying things on my own . Over the months, he shaped me into a confident driver, enough to pass my test and I wouldn’t be the driver I am today if I didn’t have a supportive instructor like Paul. 100% recommend

William Cole - St Nicholas, Vale of Glamorgan

I was quite confused to try and find a good driving instructor as no one I knew had recently passed their driving test. I only came across Paul by chance but found him to be an excellent teacher, very experienced and knowledgeable with a calm and patient teaching method. I passed aged 17 first time with only 1 minor after having about 20 hours with Paul and the whole process including the taking of the test ran smoothly. Highly recommended
