I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! Tracy is so supportive and patient, and will go out of her way to make sure you get everything you need. I would definitely recommend her to anybody wanting to learn to drive.

Kelly is amazing she supported me through 14 months of learning to drive and three tests. She was amazing at supporting me especially with my autism. She pushed me to reach my challenges, I have become such a confident driving and can’t wait to get out on the roads by myself.

I’ve recently passed with checkmate (Woody)I was extremely anxious and nervous at first and he quickly made me feel at ease and was very reassuring, understanding and patient throughout every lesson, and calmed my anxieties before my testI would recommend them to anyone wanting to take lessons!

Leonie is a great driving instructor. She’s been massively supportive, patient and really clear. I was a complete beginner sitting behind the wheel for the first time earlier this year and after months of great lessons and many laughs I’ve passed my test first time! Would highly recommend Leonie and Checkmate Driver Training to anyone looking to become a confident driver and inevitably pass their test. Thanks Leonie!!

Amazing experience with woody (automatic). Great guy, very friendly, patient and understanding. Down to earth and willing to do anything to help you pass.I began driving lessons with no experience which I was very nervous about but woody made me feel at ease instantly and showed me that it’s nowhere near as scary or as difficult as you’d think.He explains everything very clearly and makes you feel comfortable and confident.Very patient and understanding, Supports you with what you need.Always finding ways to help and tailors everything to your needs. He Makes everything seem easy and does what he can to help you pass ASAP!Not only a great driving instructor, great guy to spend time with and have conversations with.Highly recommend woody, best driving instructor! Will miss you, thank you so much!

Kelly was my driving instructor and taught me everything I need to know about driving as I passed the other day. She’s very easy to get along with and helped me with all the skills I needed in order to pass after just 40 hours of learning. Great instructor would definitely recommend.

I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Leonie. From our first lesson, she was patient and very encouraging. Her teaching style is clear and structured, breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps. She provided valuable feedback and tailored each lesson to my progress, which really boosted my confidence. I highly recommend Leonie to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive driving instructor!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you cover last minute tests?

We do as long as we can get you in our diaries, and you must be prepared to have at least a 2 hour driving assessment before we confirm you may use our car for test.

How long does the driving test last?

The test lasts approximately 40 minutes including identity check, eye sight check and a reverse manoeuvre.

Does the examiner take my licence if I pass?

The examiner will give you the choice of them sending your licence to be upgraded or you can do it yourself (you have to do this within 2 years of passing).

How many hours of driving lessons will I need?

Everybody’s journey learning to drive is different. The DVSA’s guidance states that on average that a person will need around 45 hours of lessons and up to 25 hours in a friend or family members car. However there are people who need less than 20 or more than 80 hours of driving lessons.

Can I learn in my own car?

Yes, as long as your instructor is happy that your car is insured for you to intake driving lessons in, and that they are happy that you are safe enough for them to have no duel controls available.
