Cost and Pricing:

Many learner students and their parents assume that all Driving Schools and Driving Instructors are the same! After all, they are qualified and trained to prepare you to pass your driving test, aren’t they? Well it may come as a surprise but not all Driving Instructors are qualified at all! It’s been a long-standing issue within the driving school industry that ‘trainee’ instructors are allowed by law to provide lessons at the same lesson rate as fully qualified instructors! Personally, I think this practice is very wrong and many Driving Schools do not mention this fact when students are booking their lessons. There are a couple of things you can do to find out if your allocated Instructor is fully qualified: 1. Ask at the time of booking and 2. Check their operating licence that should be in the front window of the tuition vehicle. A PINK licence indicates a trainee that is yet to pass their qualifying exam and a GREEN licence for a fully qualified Instructor.

Let’s assume that your Instructor is fully qualified. Instructors vary enormously in the way they teach the syllabus and the quality of their teaching. They also vary in customer skills when it comes to their patients and friendliness. It is quite disturbing that around 30% of all learner drivers feel the need to change their driving instructor before reaching test standard because of incompatibility issues or the lack of student progress. Many Instructors work as sole operators and have no requirement for ongoing training. In fact, many independent Instructors never take any further training from the day that they qualified. Very few Driving Schools monitor their driving instructor’s performance and provide ongoing training to ensure they keep up to date with modern teaching methods.

Ever since Colin qualified over twenty years ago and started the Driving School, his approach has always been to provide outstanding value for money and customer rapport. As he started to grow the School, his main concern was how he could scale the School but still retain his own ethics. He was alarmed in the early days just how poor some of our early Instructor recruits were and the general standard of tuition being offered in the local area.

It was for this reason that we opened our own Instructor Training Academy during 2007. The only way we were able to guarantee that we only recruited the very best Instructors, was to teach and prepare them ourselves. All our Instructors now must come through our own Training Academy and take a comprehensive 80-hour course and qualify before they can teach any of our learner students.

As you can probably appreciate, the cost to prepare the very best Instructors is considerable and then we must pay them a suitable lesson fee to retain their services.

So how is this a benefit to you, the student? We operate a unique ALS (Accelerated Learning System) which as the name suggests, is in place to speed up your learning period and ensure you receive full value for your money. All our Instructors are trained on this system and we have quality control procedures in place to monitor the tuition you receive. You will also be provided with feedback forms on your Instructor, so you are able to mark them on their performance for all aspects of their interaction with you.

Your driving lessons will adhere to the DVSA’s client centred policy and will be interactive so you will have a big input to how they are conducted. This policy eliminates many frustrations that students encounter with large amounts of time parked at the kerbside and endless hours of aimless driving around with no firm lesson objective.

You can access full details of our unique ALS system by watching the main video on this page – ‘Save your time and your money by watching this video’.

Hopefully, I have been able to enlighten you as to why driving lesson prices vary enormously and explain why Driving Instructors are not all the same. Purchasing what appear to be ‘cheap’ lessons and a good deal is tempting, especially when on a tight budget, but like most things in life, there is often a hidden cost to cheap and that is quite often a much longer learning period, frustration at the lack of progress and the expense of a failed test and having to take further lessons.

We operate a very simple pricing policy:

Manual Lesson fees are £35 per hour with a minimum of two-hour lessons, so £70.00 per two hour lesson.

You can purchase a block of ten hours for £340.00, which gives you a saving of £10.00 on each block of ten hours.

Automatic Lessons are £36.00 per hour, again with a minimum of two-hour lessons, so £72.00 per two hour lesson.

You can purchase a block of ten hours for £350.00, which will save you £10.00 on every block of ten hours for automatic lessons.

We suggest that if possible, you purchase a block of ten hours to benefit from the discount.

If for any reason you are not delighted with your instructor and your tuition, we will make a refund and any unused lessons purchased will also be refunded.

We operate a 48-hour pre-pay policy and lessons can be purchased by using any of the methods listed below. We do not take cash on the day of your lesson.

Unique Accelerated Learning System:

Hi, and thanks for visiting Drive School of Motoring.

If you can spare a few moments of your time, I will explain why our unique accelerated learning system can be a massive benefit to you.

It’s very disturbing that so many driving lessons lack any real structure. They involve aimless driving around with no agreed objective that can be measured, leading to lack of progress and a huge amount of frustration and wasted money.

Another poor practice is to not structure lessons in a sequence that will help you develop your knowledge and skill level by ensuring that your early lessons are conducted in an area with few distractions. Far too often, we hear from students that are asked to drive through town centres or deal with very busy roundabouts, when they have barely learnt the skills to move off safely and deal with simple junctions. This practice can be a disaster and lead to a massive lack of confidence, even leading to the termination of lessons in some cases.

The 1st time pass rate in our local area is below 50% and over 30% of all learner drivers feel the need to change their driving instructor during the learning process. This is a very poor reflection on the standards of tuition currently being offered.

So, what exactly is the Unique Accelerated Learning System?

It’s a method of learning that is recommended by the governing body, the DVSA. It encourages interaction between Instructor and student to ensure the shortest learning time and therefore provide you with the maximum value for your money.

We have taken this process way above the basic recommendations.

We conduct all our driving lessons to comply with the DVSA’s recommended client centred learning procedure.
We have quality assurance measures in place to monitor the standard of tuition that our instructors provide.
We will offer you a lesson refund should you feel that our instructors have not followed the procedure and delivered the highest quality tuition.

So how does the ALS (Accelerated Learning System) work?

Your Instructor will produce a new ALS lesson sheet for each lesson that you take.
Your name, the date and the actual time your Instructor arrived for your lesson will be entered onto the ALS sheet.
There will be an interactive discussion between you and your Instructor to decide what you wish to cover during the lesson. You may wish to revisit a topic from previous leaning for further practice or you may wish to tackle a new topic.
Let’s say that you wish to revisit a previous topic. Your Instructor will discuss the reasons that you wish to revisit and address any concerns that you may have.
He/she will then check that you have full understanding of the theory behind the topic, very important as much time can be wasted driving around without understanding the theory as this often leads to frustration and a lack of progress.
You will then be asked what you wish to achieve by revisiting the topic. (For example: You wish to improve your confidence and emerging at roundabouts) A plan of action will then be documented by your Instructor and this will become the lesson objective. (you may have several objectives in the same lesson, especially during a two-hour lesson)
Your Instructor will then devise a suitable route that will include several roundabouts in this case, so you will be able to practice your skills and work toward improving your confidence.
There will be periodic stops to assess your progress and to address any concerns you may have. Your Instructor will encourage you to start taking more responsibility until you feel that you have achieved your objective
If time allows, you will then repeat the process by choosing to revisit another topic or tackle a new one
At the end of your lesson, there will be an interactive recap and summary to determine whether you achieved your objective(s) if not, feedback will be given as to why not and a suggestion made to revisit on a future lesson.
You will be asked to sign the ALS Lesson sheet as a true reflection of events

This is the DVSA’s preferred policy for client centred learning as it is proven to provide maximum value for your money. We enhance the process even further by using our own unique ALS lesson sheets to ensure the lesson structure is maintained with documentation.

We also have a quality assurance monitoring process in place, and you will receive a feedback form in the post approx. three weeks after you commence your lessons, where you will be able to give feedback on your Instructors performance.

In addition, we also guarantee every single lesson and unless you are completely satisfied that your Instructor gave you full value for money, we will refund your lesson fee.

You access full details on our 9 Star Guarantee at the top of this website.

Thank you for your time and safe driving.

Are we the right Driving School for you?

We do not attempt to teach every person that wants to lean to drive and we may not be the right Driving School for you?

With over twenty years of experience and one of the highest pass rates in the area, we find that taking a 2-hour lesson every week, proves to be the most successful strategy for most students. Two-hour lessons would be far more beneficial to you and you will learn far more for your money and you will also be test ready in half the time. You will have a decent amount of condensed learning in one go with time to digest and be focused for your next lesson. Sometimes students think that they would be unable to concentrate for a period of two hours, but this is why we would ‘chunk’ your lessons and break up the two hour slot to cover several topics, just as they do in the school curriculum to keep the learning fresh and focused.

Now you may be thinking of taking 1-hour lessons and Just to be clear and give you a balanced view, there is nothing wrong with 1-hour lessons, we just feel that they offer less value for your money as they prolong the learning period substantially. Another of the drawbacks is having to take time from your lesson to drive to a suitable location that is relevant to cover the topic and then having to drive back again. So, should you prefer to take less than two-hour lessons, we would not be the right driving school for you as we don’t offer them.

The opposite of taking 1-hour lessons, is to consider an intensive or ‘crash’ course.

Many of the enquiries that we receive asking about intensive courses are from students that have yet to take and pass their Theory Test. Should this be the case, you would normally be waiting for around eight weeks for a practical test from the time you pass your Theory Test. Now should you be looking to take a week off school or work and condense your lessons, this could work for you if you were able to schedule your intensive course a few weeks before your practical test. Taking an intensive course and then having to wait more than a few weeks before taking your practical test could mean you find yourself getting rusty while you are waiting. The other thing to consider is that you may be purchasing more lessons than you require and therefore spending more money than is necessary, or booking less lessons that you need and arriving on test day underprepared and run the risk of having to rebook another test and having the frustration of waiting a few months for your next test. Again, If you prefer to take an intensive course, we would not be the right Driving School for you as we do not offer them.

Finally, our learner students take regular lessons each week, booked well in advance if possible as this provides the continuity and accelerates the learning period. We sometimes have requests to provide a lesson every other week because of affordability issues, but this is not something we can offer. While we completely understand that your finances may be tight and that is all you can afford, but this practice is detrimental to your learning. You would lack the continuity required and your learning period would be extended considerably and therefore we would not be providing the best value for money and it would go against our principles.

Your Customer Journey:

The fact that you are taking the time to explore our ‘You Ask, We Answer’ section would suggest that you are considering our services as your training provider. Let me take a few minutes of your time to explain exactly what happens when you book your driving lessons with us.

It starts with your visit to our website. You spend some time to explore and digest the information we make available. You then decide to contact us through your preferred method which could be by phone if you would like to speak to Colin or Terri in our customer services team. You may prefer to fill in a booking form to send us your requirements or use Facebook Messenger should you wish to have immediate online engagement. You could even send a simple Email if you prefer.

Whatever method you choose, Colin or Terri will take time to understand your requirements and suggest a solution if possible. If they can help you and you decide to make a booking, you will be allocated a suitable instructor to match your requirements and the booking will be confirmed in the Instructors diary. They will then request your preferred method of making payment. We offer payment over the phone by card, or via bank transfer. You can also make an online payment through the shop facility on this website. We operate a 48-hour pre-pay policy but if it’s not possible for you to make payment at the time of booking, they can arrange a day and time when it would be convenient.

Once the booking has been confirmed, your details will be sent to your Instructor. You will receive a letter in the post confirming the day, the time and the agreed pick up location for your 1^st lesson. Your Instructor will arrive at the agreed time and introduce him/herself. If you are new to driving, your Instructor will drive you to a suitable location to get you started. It’s vital that your first few lessons are conducted in an area that will ensure your success and build your confidence. If you are not a beginner and you have done some driving before, your Instructor will discuss with you whether you would feel confident of driving from the pick-up location.

Your lessons will then be conducted using our unique Accelerated Learning System and you will arrange with your Instructor for ongoing lessons.

Around three weeks after you commence with your lessons, you will receive a letter in the post that will contain a feedback form where you can evaluate your Instructor’s performance and send back to us if you wish.

Your Instructor will continue to cover the driving syllabus, improve your knowledge, skills and most importantly build your confidence as you move closer to your practical driving test.

Once test day arrives, both you and your Instructor will be ready for that 1^st time pass. Your Instructor will ask your permission to take a photo so we can post on our Facebook page and website to announce and celebrate your test success. The final step will be to request a customer review from you where you can give an account of your learning experience with us here at Drive School of Motoring.

I’m Colin Lott and I’m the owner of Drive School of Motoring.

I became a driving instructor in 1997 and started working for a driving school as a franchisee, and in 1998 I decided it was time to go independent and start my own driving school.

I managed, before too long, to build a good rapport with my students and quickly started to see some very good results in the way of test passes, which led to a lot of work through recommendations. In fact, it got to the point where I was having to turn work away, because I was just too busy. To try and alleviate this problem, I decided to employ the services of another driving instructor, which worked quite well at first, and I then employed a second instructor, as we started to get even busier.

Unfortunately however, I began to notice that the quality of the instruction given by these instructors was less than perfect, so at this point I decided the best way for me to obtain the best driving instructors possible would be to train them myself, to the highest quality, right from the start. So, in 2006 I launched our driving instructor training academy, which allowed me to ensure that our learner students got the best driving instruction on offer, and still does to this day.

I have always looked to give the best quality, and thus best value to all our students, which is why I not only train all of our driving instructors to be the best they can be, but also insist they take regular, ongoing re-training as part of their employment conditions, to ensure they stay at the top of their game. We also give all our students the opportunity to give feedback about their instructor’s performance, to allow us to manage any problems that may occur and to offer our instructors any extra training that may be necessary.

Thank you for taking a look around our site and I hope you can see that our focus is always on giving the best possible service, from the point you contact us, to the point you get that all important test pass.
I look forward to meeting you soon.

Regards, Colin Lott.

Terri takes care of our customer services. She has considerable knowledge and experience when it comes to helping and assisting potential customers with their questions and requirements.

Her main duties are matching new customers with a suitable Driving Instructor, checking availability and confirming the booking details. Terri will also take lesson payments over the phone and be on hand for any queries that arise.

Vasile graduated through our comprehensive training program before becoming a key member of our local instructor team.

He has several students all progressing towards their driving test and we are currently waiting for the customer reviews which will be added here as soon as we receive them.

“The main reasons I chose Drive School of Motoring as my driving school were that they had good reviews from other people in my area and that the lessons were good value for money.

Learning to drive was harder than I expected, in the sense of just how much you need to be aware of.

I really liked how Vasile would break my mistakes down into detail, to help me understand how to correct them, and felt he was patient in helping me learn from them.

I certainly would recommend Vasile and Drive School of Motoring, as mentioned, for patience and value for money, but also, as I had a good relationship with my instructor.”

Luke Howsego.

When looking for a driving instructor it was important for me to find someone who was reliable, trustworthy and professional. Other important factors were the instructor’s knowledge and experience. I found learning to drive surprisingly easy and have to say that Colin’s teaching methods were outstanding and incredible. I 100% would definitely recommend Colin to others as his knowledge and understanding was amazing and he adapted every lesson to my style of driving. In my honest opinion there is nothing at all that I would change about my learning experience.

Megan Caryl.

I would highly recommend this company if you’re young and want to learn to drive, Colin was very reliable and made learning to drive that little bit easier.

Thank you once again Colin for being so patient with me and helping me to pass my test!

Kaiya Dobson.

When looking for a driving school, firstly I was looking for someone with a good local reputation and a high success rate and also a calm and experienced driving instructor. Learning to drive was pretty much what I expected, as the under 17’s driving experience that Drive School of Motoring run gave me a good idea of what to expect. Colin’s teaching methods catered to different learning styles and I found the use of drawings very helpful. I would recommend Drive School of Motoring to others as my instructor was very good and the car was nice.

You Ask – We Answer

Will i Drive On My 1st lesson?

Yes, you will definitely be driving on your first lesson.

If you are new to driving, your Instructor will drive you to a suitable location to get you started. It’s vital that your first few lessons are conducted in an area that will ensure your success and build your confidence.

Your Instructor will take a few minutes to record your licence details, test your eyesight and explain how to adjust your seat, head restraint and make sure you are comfortable.

He/she will then explain the controls that you will need to operate during your first lesson.

You will then be given a briefing on the move off and stop procedure with a short discussion to ensure you understand what is required. Your Instructor will then give you full talk through and guide you through your practical driving session. You will be able to learn at your own pace and your lesson will progress as and when you feel ready.

All your lessons will be structured using our unique ALS (Accelerated Learning System) to ensure you receive the maximum value for your money. Your early lessons will be in quiet areas, mainly on housing estates so you can build your confidence.

Full details on our unique Accelerated Learning System can be accessed by watching the main video on this page titled ‘Save Your Time and Money’.

Do You Offer A Block Booking Discount?

Yes, we do.

We suggest that if possible, you purchase a block of ten hours to benefit from the £30 discount. If for any reason you are not delighted with your instructor and your tuition, I will make a refund and any unused lessons purchased will also be refunded.

Full lesson pricing details can be found by clicking the ‘Lesson Prices’ button just above the four contact methods.

Do you offer 1 hour lessons?

You may be thinking of taking 1-hour lessons and Just to be clear and give you a balanced view, there is nothing wrong with 1-hour lessons, we just feel that they offer less value for your money as they prolong the learning period substantially.

Another of the drawbacks is having to take time from your lesson to drive to a suitable location that is relevant to cover the topic and then having to drive back again.

So, should you prefer to take less than two-hour lessons, we would not be the right driving school for you as we don’t offer them.

Do you offer a money back guarantee?

Yes, we do.

In fact, we offer an industry leading 9 Star Guarantee and I will offer you a refund on EVERY lesson you take unless you are delighted with both the tuition and service you receive.

You can access full details of the 9 Start Guarantee by clicking the ‘Learn More’ Button at the top of this page.

How much are your lessons?

Please click the Yellow ‘Lesson Prices’ Button just above the four ways you can make contact for full lesson pricing details.

Do you offer intensive or crash courses?

Please click the ‘Are we the right school for you’ Button for a full explanation of the services we offer.

Do you offer lessons in an Automatic vehicle?

Not at the moment, but we hope to offer the service very soon.

How many lessons a week do you recommend?

We find that taking a 2-hour lesson every week, proves to be the most successful strategy for most students. Two-hour lessons would be far more beneficial to you. You will learn far more for your money and you will also be test ready in half the time. You will have a decent amount of condensed learning in one go with time to digest and be focused for your next lesson.

Sometimes students think that they would be unable to concentrate for a period of two hours, but this is why we would ‘chunk’ your lessons and break up the two hour slot to cover several topics, just as they do in the school curriculum to keep the learning fresh and focused.

Taking a regular weekly lesson has proven success as it provides continuity, the retention of knowledge and it will reduce your learning period. We will aim to offer you a regular lesson slot that you can book in advance and keep from the time you commence your lessons until you pass your test.

You will also be able to book more than one lesson slot per week should you wish to reduce your learning period and be test ready sooner. (Subject to instructor availability)

Do You Offer Pay As You Go?

Yes, we do, however your lessons do have to be pre-paid 48 hours in advance. We do not accept cash on the day of your lessons, but you are most welcome to pay each week as you go using your preferred method of payment.

Do you offer lessons at weekends or just during the week?

Yes, we do offer lessons at weekends.

Weekend lessons are always in high demand and will be subject to availability.

How many lessons do you think I will need?

It’s almost impossible to know until you begin your tuition.

The DVSA suggest that the average is around 46 hours, but we find that most of our students are test ready much sooner. It really does depend on the individual, but our recommendation is to book ten hours of lessons and once completed, you will have a much better idea of the number of lesson you will need.

Where can I find payment options?

Do you have female instructors?

Yes, we have a female instructor, who covers Wickford, Billericay, Basildon, Benfleet and Rayleigh.

What is your 1st time pass rate?

We are very proud of our 1^st time pass rate and our instructors deserve a lot of credit for their hard work. Its impossible to give the exact % as we have tests almost every day and it will continually change.

Checking out the main video on this page ‘How To Choose Your Instructor’ will help you make the correct decision and avoid the costly mistakes that force over 30% of all local learners to change their instructor before reaching test day.

How long is the waiting list?

It really depends on when you would be available to take your lessons.

If you would like to contact us by using one of the four methods towards the top of this website with the days and times you are available, Colin and Terri who are our customer services staff will check and get back to you ASAP.

How come you are more expensive than others?

That is a very good question.

Most people wrongly assume that all driving instructors are the same!

I have produced several videos on this website to help you make the correct decision, avoid the costly mistakes and to avoid being one of the 30% of local learners that feel the need to change their driving instructor before test day.

Please check out the main video on this page ‘How To Choose Your Driving Instructor’. You will be glad that you did!

Do you teach people with learning difficulties?

Yes, we do but it will depend on the circumstances.

Our instructors do not pretend to be experts, or do they possess special training for certain disabilities. The best advice I can give is to contact our customer services and discuss your requirements, so they can attempt to match a suitable instructor.

There are many driving schools around the county of Essex, but they don’t come any bigger than Drive School of Motoring. This highly reputable company has become a leading supplier of driving lessons partly thanks to the quality and structured tuition it provides.

Today’s driving schools provide discounts for beginners and new students as the industry becomes highly competitive. We are no different however we try to bring something different to the table & our most popular package, the “Try Us and See” deal, enables learners to try us out first before proceeding with any future lessons. We also offer huge discounts to anyone committing to a block of ten lessons or more and if you’re not entirely satisfied with any part of our service, we’ll refund you in full.

Our online review section has helped us become one of the top-rated schools in Essex. It provides us with the knowledge we need to know what our customers want. From there on in we are able to sell our training courses & individual lessons knowing full well they meet our customer’s needs.

We have strict policies & guidelines which our driving instructors already follow allowing for best practice & client centred learning. These are now the benchmark for instruction throughout the industry. Actual driving lessons are available with either female or male teachers ensuring our customers are at ease whilst carrying out their lessons.

All our lessons are set out in a logical way starting with initial training in a very quiet housing estate. This enables you to gain confidence mastering the controls of the car without the distraction of busy roads. As you learn more within this environment you will grow in experience which will give you the ability to handle more difficult procedures from the learning syllabus.

We encourage our customers to practice with family or friends wherever possible. As they say, practice makes perfect & learning to drive is no different. Your lesson report should be able to assist you in identifying areas where you might need more practice. You should find practicing in areas that you have already been learning on your driving lessons more beneficial than trying to master new techniques you haven’t covered yet

It is recommended you get your theory test done as early as possible as you will then understand the practicalities of driving before you get behind the wheel of a car. Your driving instructor will also be able to book your practical test as soon as you are ready without any delays.

When you can master your driving lessons without any serious errors, you’re ready to take your test. It is important leading up to your test date that you try to get in as much practice as you can. Many students blame nerves when they fail their test but if you can drill procedures in to your head through regular practice you stand a better chance of achieving a pass.

We have a very high 1st time pass rate at Driving School of Motoring solely because we follow the structured steps we have outlined earlier. When our customers arrive at the test centre, they usually feel confident they will pass and generally they do first time.
