Need to Pass Quickly?

If you need to pass quickly, our crash & intensive driving courses condense all your lessons into a very short period of time. Once your assessment is done we will know approximately how many lessons are required. Everyone is different, so some may require 10 lessons and some may require a complete 40 lesson course for beginners.

If a crash course is not your thing our weekly lesson plan may suit you more. We still give you a targeted test date but teach you on a weekly basis. If you already have lessons with another school we take them into consideration.

Where To Take Your Test

We normally take the test in the areas that are most local for you. Most learners around Ellesmere Port use the Chester test centre at Chester Gates, and we operate tests across the surrounding areas too. Your instructor will teach you in the area where your test is booked and most local for you.

Areas We Cover

All areas across Ellesmere Port including the town centre and surrounding areas. We also cover Chester and the south of the Wirral. Our instructors pick up from home, work or college and know the roads you will be tested on from the Chester test centre at Chester Gates.
