Learning to drive can be a tricky business – but Eastbourne Driving School, Begin Driving is here to help, our instructors make learning to drive fun, rather than a chore.
People learn at different rates and we recognise this and individually tailor our training to get you to test standard at a pace that suits you. With a higher than average pass rate you can be sure of the best possible tuition and that you will be fully prepared when you are put forward for your test.
If you want to learn to drive you should make sure you learn with an expert – qualified driving instructors are skilled at teaching young drivers how to be the best possible drivers and how to make sure they stay safe on the road – who will you trust with your tuition?
We now offer either manual or automatic lesson – the choice is yours!
Widely considered the ‘sweet spot’ for learning long enough for progress and short enough to maintain focus
Begin Driving instructors only work on a one-to-one basis, so you will not have to share your time with other students
You will receive free access to our Student App so you can monitor your progress, payments and future lessons
Our Theory Test Pro programme contains everything you need to prepare for your theory test
Show Me, Tell Me question and answer sheet provided and also available to download
Lost your confidence or haven't driven for a while then we can assess your driving to suit your individual needs to get you back on the road
We offer motorway courses and refresher lessons to enhance your driving skills
Our recent study highlighted that 1.5-hour driving lessons are widely seen as the sweet spot for effective learning. Learners told us this duration gives them enough time to make steady progress and practise essential skills, while still being short enough to maintain concentration without feeling tired or overloaded.
Yes, your instructor will pick you up from your home and drop you back. Any other pick ups and drop offs need to be pre arranged and agreed with your instructor.
You can call the office on 01323 647078 to get booked in, you will be asked a few questions and a payment will be required to secure your first booking.
You can buy as many hours as you would like. A minimum of 5 lessons (7.5 hours) is required to qualify for the bulk purchase discount.
You can book your theory test once you have a provisional licence but remember to make sure you prepare yourself by using our FREE online training programme Theory Test Pro. Once you have passed your theory test it is valid for 2 years, you will need to pass your practical test in that time or resit your theory.
All our customers receive free access to our online theory training programme Theory Test Pro as part of our training package.
Your instructor will help you decide when you are ready to book a practical test. Remember you will need to have passed the theory test before you can book a practical test.
The amount of lessons you will need is an individual figure, we aim to get you test ready at your pace so you are fully prepared for the practical test.
As a guide – The DVSA recommends around 45 hours of professional driving lessons and a further 22 hours of private practice to learn to drive. Learners who prepare in this way have a higher test pass rate and are safer on our roads.
No we don’t, Begin Driving instructors work on a one-to-one basis, so you will not have to share your time with other students.
