Simon, who taught me, was really good, taught me everything I needed to know and helped me iron out some of the... weaknesses I had.

Was given vouchers for 3 hours of driving for Christmas pre covid. Having only just been able to build up the courage... to book as very anxious and nervous I was made to feel like an inconvenience for having vouchers. I felt very uncomfortable so proceeded by using email to carry on with the booking.On the voucher it was for automatic, but Mark told me he didn't do automatic and didn't offer to book me in with someone else. On the day of the driving lesson I waited half an hour and then rung him. He then was very rude to me saying he had gone to number 2 as that was what he was told. referring back to my email it quite clearly has the correct address on it. This company have stolen my money as he said I'd missed it the lesson and didn't offer any kind of reimbursement. It's been a thoroughly bad experience and not done my confidence any good!read more

I would highly recommend Hassan thanks to whom I passed my driving exam today first time. I couldn’t have been happier... with the result! Hassan built my confidence, guided me though all the stages of the learning process, we practiced each stage until he was happy with my driving and I felt confident enough. He was always very supportive and positive, even at times when I was losing faith in my ability to drive. His feedback was always honest and motivational. Learning to drive is a different experience for an each individual person, it was a hard skill to learn for me, personally and Hassan’s patience and experience has been invaluable. I had 2 different driving instructors previously (London - based as that’s where I lived before the pandemic) and I can honestly say Hassan is absolutely the best! Very professional in everything he does. Thank you so much Hassan, I’ll be forever grateful.read more

I recommend Hassan of Skillz2Drive. I was already an experienced driver but i needed to become a UK driver. Over a... period of seven (Covid-interrupted) months, Hassan guided me through the rules and tricks of driving. Clearance, managing speed, roundabouts, maneuvers etc. Lessons were fitted into my busy schedule and i practically covered every road in Hastings, Ore and St Leonard's. Hassan pointed out the tricky places and carefully described how i could surmount them. All of this culminated in me passing my practical test at the first attempt, with only three minor faults. Hastings has a 42% first time pass rate but with Hassan and Skills2Drive; you too can pass at once.read more

Passed my driving test first time with John getting only 4 minor driving faults. Nothing but a professional service I... never had lesions rearranged or cancelled on me. I was treated professionally at all times and made comfortable even when making mistakes. I personally couldn’t have asked for a better instructor and if I’m honest I’m slightly gutted that I’ve passed as the service I received really was top notch. I would recommend Skillz2Drive and John to everyone I know because I believe if you want to pass quickly and be taught at a high standard then you should defiantly choose these guys.read more

Today I passed my test after a 15 hour intensive course and lots of practice in my own car in between tests. I learnt... with Mark Wilkins, who has been an absolute pleasure to have met. Being slightly older I was embarrassed and very nervous. Mark put that at ease within the first few lessons. I believe he only has the best interests of each student, encouraging and suggesting ways of support and progression. Thank you will never seem enough. Can’t not recommend highly enough. Thanks Mark!read more

Intensive Driving Lessons
Here at Skillz2drive we offer the very best in intensive courses at the most competitive prices and we pride ourselves on our very high first time pass rate.
We have three standard intensive courses to choose from. Once our experienced driving instructors have completed an hour long assessment lesson we can help you decide how many hours would best suit you.
We have three standard intensive courses to choose from. Once our experienced driving instructors have completed an hour long assessment lesson we can help you decide how many hours would best suit you.
The length of time to complete your intensive course can vary from 1 to 8 weeks, this depends on if you have passed your theory test, along with the waiting times for the practical driving test, but we will try to keep this down to a minimum. All pupils must be in possession of a current provisional driving licence before the course commences.
Your first step in learning to drive is to get your provisional driving licence. To do this, you should visit a Post Office or DVLA online. Your application will take around three weeks to process, so if you are eager to learn to drive soon after your 17th birthday then make sure that you apply three months before. This is completely allowed, so don’t worry about applying early.
The next thing to do would be to commence your driving lessons. The average person takes around 43 hours when learning how to drive. However this is with some extra practice on the side. If you don’t want to book this many lessons then you could just book 20, however you would need to allow yourself a lot of practice time between lessons.
Your theory test will come in two halves. The first half is a 50-question multiple choice test. To pass, you need to achieve a score which is 43 or higher. For the second half, you will take a test on hazard perception. You will be shown 14 video clips which show various hazards; you will then score five points for every clip. The points you score will depend on how long you take to respond.
The top score you can get on this test is 75; however you only need to score 44 in order to pass. If you want to pass your theory test, then you need to complete the two halves. If you pass one half but then fail the other, you will have to redo both parts of the test again.
You will take your theory test on a computer, which is very easy and simple to use. You will also find that the DSA provides a two pack CD Rom collection that has all the questions you’ll need to pass, plus the clips, so you can help to prepare yourself beforehand.
You will take your theory test at a test centre, and this test must be completed before you commence your practical test.
Your Theory test can be booked at www.direct.gov.uk/motoring, or you can book it by telephone at 0300 200 1122.
Your practical test can be booked at www.direct.gov.uk/motoring, or by calling this number 0300 200 1122.
Before you start driving, you’ll need to perform an eye test. You’ll then be tested with some questions about vehicle safety. After this, you’ll be tested on your driving ability; this includes two questions about reversing and an emergency stop. You should note however that only one out of three students are asked to do this.
The driving test will only last around 40 minutes. During this time, your instructor will take note of various skills that determine your driving ability. You are allowed to make up to 15 minutes of faults before you fail the test, however if you make more than 16 minutes then you have a guaranteed fail. If you perform a dangerous fault, then you will automatically fail.
Before you start your driving test, you should make sure that you bring the following documents.
Theory certificate
Your photo card license
Your old style paper license (if you have this, you must take your own driving license (signed) and a valid passport)
It is also a great idea to bring your confirmation letter, which states your pass date and time in case there are any questions. The more information you can bring with you, the better, as it can really help to speed up the process when obtaining your license.
