Learn to Drive

With Maidstone's favourite Driving School

Learn to Drive:

Learning to Drive is often one of the most important milestones in your life, giving you the freedom and independence you need to travel for business and pleasure. Maidstone Driving Academy is an independent, family-run driving school, with DVSA Class A Certification, who understand the importance of mobility to family life.

The ethos of Maidstone Driving Academy is “learn to drive, not just to pass” – Although we will give you all the skills you need to pass your test, we will focus on teaching you how to drive on today’s roads, not JUST how to “tick boxes” to pass.

Driving lessons include:

  • Tuition from a fully qualified driving instructor (ADI, DVSA Grade A).
  • Driving from your 1st lesson, NO lessons just sitting around talking.
  • Support through Theory and Hazard Perception training.
  • A fully insured, clean, new and dual-controlled tuition vehicle for you to drive.
  • ONE to ONE driving tuition, NO car sharing.
  • Digital Driver Progress Log emailed to you after each lesson.
  • We can collect you from home, work, college etc (within reason!)

We always recommend, where possible, that you do 1.5 or 2 hour driving lessons and don’t take big breaks in between lessons. This is because you spend longer in the driving seat and have more time to perfect the skills that you are studying. In the long run you will need fewer lessons and will be ready for your driving test quicker than those people doing only 1 hour driving lessons! If you take big breaks in lessons, you may forget what you’ve previously learned and have to spend more time and money re-learning previously learned skills!
