About Topclass Driving School
At Topclass Driving School we believe there is a better way to learn to drive where you the customer are not just another pupil, but part of the Topclass team. Our Driving Instructors will make every effort to create a calm, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for you to learn to drive in. We are passionate about teaching people to drive and our mission is to help you to achieve it.
All the Driving Lessons we provide are based on the DVSA syllabus and focus on Client Centred Learning and coaching techniques. Client-centred learning is a way of learning that takes into account how the pupil prefers to learn. When pupils are taught in this way they are more liable to retain information and skills. Pupils are also more likely to keep learning if they are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning at an early stage. This is the most up to date and modern way of delivering driver education and has a proven track record of success.
Our goal is to not only guide you to test pass success, but to instil in you a life skill that leads you onto the path to become a safe, courteous, and responsible driver for life.
We will strive to do everything possible to help you achieve that goal.
To us your success is our success.

Our Driving Lessons
We don’t offer cheap driving lessons but do believe in keeping our driving lesson prices as competitive as possible and In 2012 we introduced to the local area the original Try us and see deal (many local driving schools have now copied us). The idea of the deal was to give you the customer a chance to try us and see the “Refreshingly Different” tuition we provide and we will give you a massive £60.00 discount on your first 10 lessons helping you to save money on the cost of your driving tuition. Or for you to be able to transfer from another driving school to us at a much reduced lesson rate if you are not happy with your current driving lesson provider. The deal has proved extremely popular and you can now get your first 10 Manual driving lessons from as little as £29.00 an hour.
For those not eligible for our try us and see deal or if you complete the deal and want to purchase subsequent blocks of 10 we also offer a further discount on block bookings.
Along with our try us and see deal we offer a money back guarantee should you not be entirely satisfied with any aspect of the service or tuition you receive. You can view our Try us and see deal page for more information about our deals, pricing and introductory offers currently available.

Our Driving Instructors
We pride ourselves on our quality of service and professional driving tuition. All Topclass driving school instructors are required to sign up to the DVSA Code of Practice, so you can be rest assured you’re in good hands We have both male and female driving instructors in most of the areas we service and all are DVSA approved, and fully DBS (formally CRB) checked.
Our instructors can offer a choice of daytime, evening or weekend driving lessons depending on your availability and their free diary slots and will do their utmost to be flexible and work to your schedule. Unlike some other local driving instructors we don’t charge any extra for weekend or evening driving lessons and our try us and see deal can be taken 7 days a week and at anytime of the day. Most of our instructors teach from around 8-9am through to 6-7pm most days of the week with some working much later into the evening. For your convenience they will drop off or pick up from home, work or college, allowing you to take your driving lessons around your individual commitments.
We focus on teaching in the local areas giving us first rate local knowledge of all the best starting points; these are called nursery routes ideal for the complete beginner. Your driving instructor will know all the busier roads to avoid until you’re ready to tackle more challenging routes.
Nursery routes will be used to teach you the basic skills needed including Moving off and stopping, meeting and dealing with parked and oncoming vehicles, adequate clearance and safe road positioning, approaching and emerging at junctions. You may also tackle some of the required manoeuvres.
Once your confidence has increased we will move you on to the busier roads known as intermediate routes. These will generally include dealing with Roundabouts, Pedestrian crossings, crossroads and anticipation of other road users. This is where you will also start to practice Independent Driving consisting of following instructions from a Sat Nav and following road signs.
Finally you will tackle advanced routes involving more complex roads and junctions including major roundabouts and Dual carriageways.
As you approach driving test standard you will be offered a Mock Driving Test. This will be conducted by your own driving instructor. Your instructor will aim to cover a similar route a driving examiner would use on your real DVSA driving test and you will be assessed using the same marking sheet they use. This will help to give you an idea of what to expect and give you a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses when under pressure.
Our driving instructors offer full 1 or 2 hour driving lessons, or if you want to pass quicker you can learn to drive in 1 to 6 weeks with one of our Intensive driving courses. Our services range from teaching learner drivers right through to Pass Plus refresher and Motorway Lessons for full licence holders.
You can check out your local driving instructors on our Meet The Team page and choose an Instructor based on their personal profile, what car they drive or their individual customer reviews.
Like any local driving school we rely a great deal on pupil recommendations to keep our large team of local driving instructors busy and are really grateful to our customers past and present for the customer reviews they supply.
