Our Driving Services
At Andy's Pass Academy, we provide a comprehensive range of driving lesson services to suit learners of all levels. Each service is designed to help you reach your driving goals.
Automatic Driving Lessons
Learning to drive in an automatic car can be a great choice, especially if you want a smoother experience without worrying about clutch control or stalling.
- Modern automatic vehicle with dual controls
- Focus on steering and road awareness from the start
- Build confidence quickly without gear worry
- Ideal for nervous learners
- Learn kick-down and mode controls
You'll start on quiet roads to get comfortable with the brake and accelerator (no clutch or gears to think about!). Andy will teach you how to effectively use the automatic transmission's features. Many learners report feeling more relaxed in automatic lessons – without the hassle of gear changes, you can concentrate more on traffic conditions and decision-making.
Manual Driving Lessons
Master the art of driving a manual (stick-shift) car with our expert instruction. Manual lessons give you the freedom to drive any type of car in the future.
- Learn clutch control and smooth gear changes
- Finding the bite point made easy
- Hill starts and gear anticipation
- Eco-friendly driving techniques
- Drive any car type with your licence
We start with the basics: finding the clutch 'bite point', smooth gear changes, and proper use of the accelerator. Andy's extensive mechanical background really shines here – he can explain why the car behaves the way it does, helping you adapt in any situation. By the time you're ready for your test, shifting gears will feel like second nature.
Block Booking Packages
Learning to drive is a commitment, and consistency is key. Block packages save you money and ensure priority scheduling for your slots.
- 10-hour manual block: £340 (£34/hr)
- 10-hour automatic block: £360 (£36/hr)
- Guaranteed lesson slots
- Custom intensive courses available
- Maintain learning momentum
Block booking gives you peace of mind. You'll have your lesson times arranged ahead of time – no worrying week to week if your preferred slot is available. It also helps maintain momentum; regular lessons mean you retain skills better and make steady progress. We can plan your learning syllabus more effectively knowing we have a set number of lessons to cover all topics.
Refresher & Advanced Lessons
For licensed drivers who want to boost confidence or learn new skills. Perfect if you haven't driven in a while or want to master motorway driving.
- Rebuild driving confidence
- Motorway driving instruction
- Night driving practice
- Parking manoeuvre mastery
- Advanced handling techniques
Haven't driven in a while? Feeling a bit rusty? Our refresher lessons are the perfect solution to rebuild your confidence. Andy will start with a calm evaluation drive to see your current skill level, then provide constructive feedback and practice to sharpen your skills. These lessons are completely judgement-free – we understand nerves can return if you haven't driven.
Theory & Mock Test Support
We support you through both theory and practical tests. Get study resources, guidance, and mock tests that simulate the real exam.
- Recommended study apps and resources
- Highway Code Q&A sessions
- Hazard perception practice
- Full mock driving tests
- Test day warm-up lessons
Studying for the driving theory can be daunting. We'll point you to high-quality, up-to-date resources so you can study effectively. We also conduct mock driving tests under exam-like conditions – Andy will assess you just as an examiner would. Mock tests help you experience what the test will feel like and highlight any areas to polish before the real day.
