The checks to make, the questions to ask, and the warning signs to look out for.
Knowing how to choose a driving school can save you time, money and stress. A good instructor makes learning safer and more enjoyable, and helps you pass with skills that last. Here’s what to look for.
Anyone you pay for driving lessons must be either a qualified approved driving instructor (ADI) or a trainee instructor, both registered with the DVSA.
They must show a badge in the car’s windscreen. A green badge means a fully qualified instructor. A pink badge means a trainee instructor. If someone charges for lessons without either, you can report them to the DVSA.
Cheap lessons can cost more in the end if you need extra lessons or more than one test. Look at what you get for your money: lesson length, one-to-one time and how much you actually drive.

All our lessons are 2 hours long, one-to-one and in manual cars. We don’t teach set test routes. We teach you to be a good, safe, defensive driver, and when you can do that, the test takes care of itself.
We give one-to-one manual driving lessons in Borehamwood, Colney Heath, Elstree, Harpenden, Hatfield, London Colney, Radlett, St Albans and Shenley.
A 2 hour lesson is £80, or save £20 with our 10 hour package for £380. We accept all major credit cards and PayPal.
