It has a small pool of instructors, so lessons feel personal and route-focused.

Local Driving Tips
Practice slow control and reverse parking, as Marlborough High Street has narrow sections and frequent parked cars. Spend time on A4 and A346 junctions to get used to traffic flows and higher speeds when you join them. Watch for farm vehicles and cyclists on country lanes, they can appear suddenly around bends. Learn the local roundabouts and mini-roundabouts early, since they feature in many test routes. Use quieter side roads for hill starts and clutch control before moving onto busier roads.
