Surepass offers everything you would expect from a quality driving school, we specialise in 1-week crash courses and patient-friendly weekly driving lessons. You would expect this to come with a price tag but you will find our prices offer the best value in your area. You could probably find it cheaper but you could end up learning in a 10-year-old car that is unreliable and harder to drive.

Many thanks to Neil Kilshaw!
Many thanks to Neil Kilshaw
After having a bit of a rocky start to driving I decided to start lessons with Neil and found learning to drive a much better experience. He is in an excellent instructor, really patient and supportive and has taught me to drive safely with confidence. He really went above and beyond and was determined to get me a test as soon as possible. Which has led me to pass first time today! - Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Highly recommend Neil Kilshaw. He has been encouraging, supportive and professional throughout my daughter’s lessons and even invited me to join them on a drive to see her progress. She passed first time, in record time and we can’t thank you enough.

Why Alison kewley is a top driving instructor
I had a crash course with Alison Kewley, was a pleasant experience from the day I started! Wasn’t angry when I did wrong or annoyed just helped me and told me when I was right and wrong. Not only was I learning more minute by minute but she would tell me too repeat what I did wrong until I did right. Highly reccommend!

I would like to say a huge thanks to Will Berkley for helping me pass my test first time, after only 10 lessons. Will was always patient, encouraging, and flexible around my college hours, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Regarding, Rocco.
Surepass - Mark
I came to mark extremely nervous about learning how to drive. Mark was punctual professional and exceptional at teaching me how to drive. Admittedly it had taken me a lot longer than others but mark was patient and honest about how I was getting on. I’m thankful to say I’ve passed 1st time and I would strongly recommend you choose mark as your instructor! Thank you Mark

David murdock
Passed my test with Surepass first time last week with David Murdock as my instructor. David was brilliant and the perfect fit for me to learn to drive. He did everything at my pace and gave me control right from the beginning. He always explained things in detail and was always aware and able to pick up on any mistakes or habits forming and always came across in a friendly manner in his approach to correcting things. His communication was great and everything went smoothly as soon as I was assigned to him. He gave me advice on how I should take my lessons which ramped up the closer I got to my test and it provided me with the best results I could get. Best instructor I could have asked for and would recommend him to anyone.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
My son has just passed his test first time with Neil Kilshaw! What an amazing experience he has had ! Neil went above and beyond for him, the support, communication and professionalism was outstanding! Even when his test was cancelled the night before he managed to sort another test the day later!!Only took 4 months of lessons and he’s passed! I will definitely be recommending Neil to everyone. Honestly can’t thank him enough.
Mark Hawtin - Highly Recommended
Mark was recommended by a friend after we were let down by a previous instructor. He is a brilliant communicator, flexible and was patient with my son (as he fixed some bad habits that had been formed). Mark always made me feel that he had everything under control. He was committed to getting my son to the driving test stage as soon as possible, where he passed first time. Thank you, Mark!

Dan Wood was an amazing instructor got me all the way through my test which resulted in a pass with no minors. He was there to teach me how to drive for my test and how the roads can be outside of a test don’t think I could have passed with anybody else. Thanks for all the hard work Dan

Recommendation for Trish Bailey
Couldn't recommend Trish Bailey enough!! She toke me on from a different instructor being really nervous and un-confident and she soon changed this. Passed First time today with only 3 minors. Thank you again Trish!
Want to warn other people especially…
Want to warn other people especially parents with young people wishing to learn to drive to avoid this company at all costs especially covering the North West. They agree to get you through the test, allocate a driver & you begin to pay. 3 months & over a thousand pounds later you get a call from Ange in the office telling you your instructors retiring so not unexpected & can no longer accommodate. Journey over ! Beware this scam especially at this time of year when people pay for lessons as Christmas presents as it makes it so much worse when it's a young person. They'll start but won't finish so it's a complete waste of monet, time & effort. Continuity is what you want from a driving school .. you won't get that thru Surepass nor will you get a pass. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
