Manual Driving Lessons Medway, Kent
A Professional and Affordable Driving School
Full 1 or 2 Hour Manual Driving Lessons Available with Expert and Friendly Driving Instructors.
Manual Lessons From Only £29.00 / Hour
Looking for manual driving lessons? Topclass driving school can provide manual driving lessons in Medway and most of the major towns in Kent. Manual lessons are by far the most popular way to learn to drive. If you choose to learn to drive in a manual car you will need to learn how to select the gears by coordinating between the clutch pedal and the gear lever to select the right gear at the right time.
There are many benefits to choosing manual lessons, you will be able to drive not only manual but also automatic cars once you’ve passed your driving test. Another benefit is that manual cars are normally a little cheaper to buy and run than automatic and also tend to give better fuel economy. It’s worth taking a bit of time to think about which option is best for you but whatever you choose, you can be sure you will receive the same high standard of driving tuition from your Topclass driving instructor.
All your manual driving lessons will be fully structured and planned according to your individual learning ability, this way you will never be put in a position that you feel you can’t handle. At first you will be given complete talk through instruction until you feel able to drive more independently, then you will be given less instruction as you progress, eventually reaching full independence and test readiness.
Whether you choose to learn to drive in manual or automatic, as you come close to test standard your driving instructor may offer you a 'mock' driving test. This will be conducted by one of our own manual driving instructors and will help to give you an idea of what to expect on test day and give you a better understanding of your strengths and weaknesses when you’re put under driving test conditions.
Manual Driving Lessons
Looking for Manual Driving Lessons? We offer a choice of full one or two-hour manual driving lessons with pick up from home, work or college with expert and friendly driving Instructors.
Automatic Driving Lessons
Dont Struggle With Gears and Clutch! Go Automatic.

Automatic Lessons From Only £31.00 / Hour
If it’s an automatic driving school in Medway you need, then look no further. We can also provide you with an automatic driving Instructor too.
Automatic cars make learning to drive a lot less stressful and are a quicker & easier option to learning to drive. Because there's no clutch, there's no need to be anxious or worried about stalling, or finding the biting point. You only need to select your gear once, this is normally when the vehicle is stationary and all other gear changes will be carried out by your cars Automatic gearbox.
Automatic driving lessons are a faster and easier way to attaining a driving license. Driving an automatic gives you more time to concentrate on things such as the forward planning and steering of the vehicle and you only need to use your right foot for the control of the accelerator or footbrake.
Lots of people find driving an automatic quicker, easier, and more comfortable after having tried manual driving lessons first. Whatever the reason for choosing to learn to drive in an automatic we can offer you automatic driving lessons in Medway with the same expertise and professionalism as we do our manual driving lessons.
However, remember to take into consideration that if you decide to learn to drive in an automatic vehicle that you will be restricted to driving an automatic vehicle once you have passed your driving test.

Hi my name is Beki Miller I took my driving lessons with Topclass driving school and my driving instructor was Tim. Topclass was such a good driving school to learn to drive with. I started out as such a nervous driver but with Tim as my instructor that soon went away as he’s so patient and calm! He’s always professional but can still have a laugh with you. I’d recommend Topclass driving school to anyone wanting to learn to drive. Thank you Tim!!
My names Jamie Marshall aged 17 from Lordswood originally and just moved to Iwade
I go to the Rochester Math School I started learning to drive in June and passed my test first time at the Gillingham test centre .
It shows how quickly I was able to learn thanks to my driving Instructor Lisa. My early lessons consisted of a lot of driving and not too much talking about the car and controls etc which I liked as it meant I could learn some of the more advanced stuff earlier and gain more experience on the road. The driving lessons were always very productive as we worked on a few things during each lesson which meant I was well equipped for my test, and allowed me to pass first time with only 1 minor! Not only were you a great teacher, but you are really easy to get on with which made the lessons a whole lot easier, and would definitely recommend you to anyone thanks Lisa!
Hi my names John Bohan I live in Gillingham and passed at Gillingham Test Centre.
I Just wanted to say a huge thank you for helping me finally pass my driving test. I’d had 2 instructors before you and hand on heart I can safely say you were the best by far. You have such a great way of teaching and making me, the pupil, feel at ease and under no pressure at all. You made the lessons relevant to my weak points and really helped my confidence behind the wheel. You were always early for lessons and always accommodated my late requests for evening lessons.
The company you represent should be proud to know that their brand is in very good hands with you. Hope you have a fantastic year with the family and hope to see you around soon.
Top class was such a great company to learn with, I am not a fast learner so Tim’s patience and understanding was relieving. He made me feel calm and at ease while I was driving and like I knew what I was doing. Learning with Top class driving school meant I was able to build up my confidence on the road without feeling terrible if I made a mistake. They were also able to fit my lessons in around school and work commitments, ultimately I would recommend Top class as a fantastic driving school!
My names Harley Turner, I’m a 17 year old A level student currently studying at midkent college. I have a part time job at Pandora. I began lessons with Lisa from Top Class driving school in September 2015. Lisa is a fantastic driving instructor and I noticed how much I progressed when I began learning with her, she clearly cares about her students and she aims to pass everyone without wasting any time. She always has so much faith in you even if you doubt yourself which is what really helped my confidence! After just 3 months of learning with Lisa I passed my driving test first time with 0 driving faults all thanks to her! I recommend anyone who wants to learn to drive to get in touch with Topclass and request Lisa! She’s brilliant!
Hi my names Jodie Rogerson I would Just like to say a HUGE thank you to my driving instructor John from Topclass Driving School for his perseverance in teaching me to drive!. It hasn’t always been the easiest task but a job well done in the end, and I passed first time. THANKS again.
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to my driving instructor John from Topclass driving school for helping me pass my driving test first time. A fantastic driving instructor, I would highly recommend John to anyone who wants to learn to drive. He is extremely patient and I honestly believe he can make anyone feel relaxed.
Hi my names Chelsea Lenihan, I would like to say a big thank you to my driving Instructor Katie Munn from Top class driving school. Katie taught me everything I needed in order to pass my driving test first time. I would recommend Katie to everyone. She was so patient and calm with me when I happened to make any silly mistakes. At the beginning of taking my lessons I was very nervous however Katie always helped keep me calm all the way up to my test.
Hi my names Charne Stevenson I did my driving lessons with Tim at Top class driving school, and he was absolutely Brilliant.
Tim was always very patient, detailed and thorough with his teaching techniques. He was very supportive helping me with anything I found difficult including the manoeuvre’s (something I always struggled with) but he stuck with me until I gained my confidence on all of them.
Tim actually taught my brother to drive, and he also passed under Tim’s expert tuition too, and now I’ve passed. I would highly recommend him and Top class driving school to all, its a great company and he’s a great driving instructor.
“I got my automatic driving licence when it became clear I’d have to go abroad with work a couple of years ago, and would no longer be able to rely on public transport like I had in London. At the time it was the quickest and most convenient option, enabling me to drive right away on the Continent. Since then however, both my job and circumstances have changed, and I found I now needed a manual licence. All my colleagues (and students) who’d learnt to drive in the area recommended Top Class, and I have nothing but praise for their professionalism and efficiency. The call-centre staff call you back when they say they will, are friendly and quick to place you with a named instructor. My instructor Lisa immediately understood my situation and built the lessons around the fact I needed time to get used to a manual transmission, as opposed to starting from scratch as a driver. Lessons were relaxed and informal, which helped a lot with the transition, but always full of useful tips. Lisa’s very friendly, always on time, easy to contact and quick to reply. She’ll also go out of her way to try and fit in with your schedule. I totally recommend her and Top Class – thank you for making this such a smooth (and fun) process!”
