LetMeDrive is a driving school with a difference. With our driving courses, the road to driving doesn’t have to be long. We specialise in beating standard DVSA waiting times for theory and practical tests by weeks or even months.

Booking with LetMeDrive means choosing one of the UK’s leading driving schools. We offer intensive, refresher and semi-intensive driving courses which can help you get your licence within weeks, even if you’re a beginner.

Our intensive courses can fit around even the busiest of schedules, while still helping you to get on the road quickly. We’ll also fast-track your practical test as standard, so you can beat the usual waiting times.

What’s more, you can expect fantastic service at every step of the way from our DVSA-approved instructors and friendly Booking Agents. It’s no wonder that thousands of learners have already passed with us!

Although we are based in Birmingham, LetMeDrive is an expanding driving school and we aim to cover most of the UK.

We have nine different courses to choose from. You can find full details on all of them by visiting our driving courses rundown. When choosing your course, be mindful of your current driving ability and the experience you will need to gain in order to pass your test.

According to the DVSA, it takes an average of 45 hours of driving tuition to get up to test standard. If you are a complete beginner, we would therefore recommend taking one of our longer courses in order to ensure you are adequately prepared for the test. If you have some driving experience, a shorter course is likely to be more suitable. You can also contact us on info@letmedrive1st.co.uk and we team will help you to find the right course for your level of experience.

It’s also possible to take a course assessment with one of our instructors. This is a one-hour lesson where the instructor will honestly and critically assess your level of driving ability. At the end, they’ll recommend you the course best suited to your needs. You can book a course assessment online or over the phone for just £30.

It is usually possible to add more hours onto your course if required. To add extra hours during your course, get in touch with your driving instructor.

Nervous drivers are welcome at LetMeDrive. Our experienced, DVSA-approved instructors’ friendly and patient approach to driving tuition should help you feel more at ease behind the wheel. Our courses are accelerated, but never rushed. If you prefer, you can take your course at a semi-intensive pace, meaning that you don’t have to sacrifice your schedule for your lessons. Throughout your course, your instructor will pay careful attention to your progress, providing the guidance you need to help you become a safe and confident driver. Don’t worry, you’re in safe hands.

Together with your instructor, you’re free to decide on a lesson plan that works for you, helping you to pass quick even on a busy schedule. Our courses are fully flexible.

LetMeDrive does not offer ‘guaranteed pass’ courses. This is for one simple reason: it’s impossible to guarantee the result of any test! Instead, we put our efforts into offering excellent tuition and customer service—things that can really make a difference when it comes to your practical. With a pass rate significantly higher than the national average, plus thousands of happy passers, it’s an approach that works!

If your practical test doesn’t go according to plan, you’ll be eligible for a discounted refresher course to ensure you get your licence on the next try. We’ll guarantee that you take your test at the same test centre—and you’ll keep the same instructor, ensuring you’ll be familiar with the car and local test routes. Best of all, we can typically secure you a test date within a month of your original test.

Yes! If you have a tight schedule, it’s possible to arrange your course to take place on weekends only. If you’re interested in this option, please inform us of this when we call to discuss your booking, and we will be sure to assign you an instructor who can accommodate your request.

Our LetMeDrive instructors have a wide range of cars. Which car you are taught in depends on the instructor assigned to you. If you have a preference for which make or model of car you learn in, please discuss with us when you book your course.

While we can’t guarantee you’ll learn in any specific make or model, we’ll take your preferences into account when assigning an instructor.

We’re always looking for new instructors to join our team. We offer competitive rates and no franchise fees, with jobs available in your area. To start teaching with us, simply register your interest at our Instructors Needed page, or email us at info@letmedrive1st.co.uk.

We will require a copy of your Driving License and ADI which you can upload when filling in the form.

Our courses are structured so that your driving lessons take place in the run-up to your practical test. As such, you will typically need to wait until your test date is locked in before arrangements for your lessons begin. Please do not book any time off work until this date is confirmed.

We appreciate that, in a small minority of cases, a pupil may be assigned an instructor that isn’t a good fit. In the unlikely scenario that any major issues arise relating to an instructor, we will work closely with the pupil to seek a suitable resolution, including the possibility of changing to a different instructor.

Yes! This can usually arranged simply by speaking to your instructor. If you have any special requirements, please contact us via email at info@letmedrive1st.co.uk.

This can typically be resolved by having a conversation with your instructor. In the unlikely event that any issues arise due to changing the scheduling of your course, please contact us via email at info@letmedrive1st.co.uk.

If you need to upgrade your course to include more hours, this is usually possible. However, you must let us know about this as soon as possible. Downgrading of courses is not usually permitted.

In such circumstances, please contact us. We will assess each case on an individual basis, and may offer additional tuition, Pass Plus lessons or a refund as appropriate.

Yes—this is possible in certain circumstances.

Your instructor will inform you of their policy regarding cancellations, which you are required to abide by. Typically, you will be required to give 24–48 hours’ notice.

If you find that you’re too ill for your driving lesson, please notify your instructor as soon as possible. Be aware that our instructors have their own cancellation policies, with most requiring 24–48 hours’ notice.

Yes. If you wish to postpone your course, please contact us or by emailing us at info@letmedrive1st.co.uk.

It’s normal to have some last-minute nerves, but if your instructor advises you that you’re not test ready, then we can move your test back, giving you more time. As long as you give us four clear working days before your test, we can change your test date for an admin fee of just £18.

If you don’t pass, don’t worry! We have a number of options available to help make sure you get your licence next time around. We offer a 10% discount on any of our standard courses if you rebook with LetMeDrive. If you wish, we can also guarantee that you can take your new course with the same instructor or at the same test centre.

We always aim to provide exceptional service to all of our students. If anything’s going wrong, we want to fix it as soon as possible. To make a complaint, please email us at complaints@letmedrive1st.co.uk.
