About Assured Driving Instructor

Who are Assured Driving Instructor?

We are one of the leading companies providing driving courses and test booking services. Our directors were DVSA instructors before starting up and building the Assured Driving Instructor brand to be operating all over the UK at present.
With a robust network of around 1,300 DVSA approved instructors coupled with our fast track system, our driving courses have helped thousands of learners get behind the wheel. We are extremely proud of what we offer.

What do our driving courses involve?

Our driving courses are intense, meaning you do all your driving lessons and your practical test in a relatively short period of time. However if an intense course is not your preference, you are in control of how you use your hours of driving. You can choose and tailor your course to suit your specific needs.

Which course is best suited for me?

Here at Assured Driving Instructor we have 3 overall types of courses which each have different hours available to learners. The learner choosing the course has to be honest with their own ability. Each of the courses available are described in detail on the courses section of our website.

Can I add more lessons to a course I’ve already started?

We do allow lessons to be added to courses at a pro-rata rate. However we ask you to be realistic as to what date you have your practical test booked.

What is included in my Assured Driving Instructor driving course?

All courses come with the amount of hours driving that is stated on your booking confirmation. They include the same instructor throughout the duration of the course. You will use the same vehicle on your test also. Both your practical test and theory test, if needed are included in the booking price.

Do I have to save any hours to do my practical test?

On every driving course 2 hours of your course will be reserved for the day of your test. Meaning a 25 hour course would include 23 hours of lessons. Leaving an hour before your test to get familiar near the test centre and an hour for the practical test itself.

I am not a confident driver, is this course for me?

Statistics show that practical test pass rates are higher for learners taking intensive driving course rather than simply starting driving lessons with an instructor without a test booked or a planned schedule. As they allow all levels of learners to absorb a lot more material in a shorter space of time.

Do I pick how many hours I drive and when?

Yes, absolutely. When booking one of our driving courses. We send you a “learner diary” this has all the dates and times of your lessons. You can book yourself or ask your allocated instructors advice. All driving hours on your course will be before your practical test. You are in control.

Is passing guaranteed?

Passing can not be guaranteed by any course provider. No course provider can say this as it is not them taking the test! However our current pass rates are between 82% and 97% depending the course.

Can I take my course in an automatic car?

Yes of course! You can do your course in either a manual or automatic car. Please select the transmission when booking your course.

Do I have to do the course intensively?

Our courses are designed to be taken intensively, we see higher test pass rates this way. However, you are able to spread your lessons over a longer timescale if you wish.

Will my instructor pick me up or drop me off at work or college?

Our DVSA instructors will be happy to collect you or drop you off within the “catchment area” of the test centre where you will have your practical test. You can discuss this in further detail with ourselves or with your allocated instructor.
