Driver Training Ltd Driving School in short

Driver Training Ltd trades as PassFast from Selbourne in Telford, offering automatic and manual lessons with intensive courses and pay-monthly plans. The school states fully DVSA-approved male and female instructors, long working history and opening hours Monday to Saturday.

The record shows automatic and manual lessons from Selbourne with intensive courses and pay-monthly plans, taught by male and female instructors working Monday to Saturday. Coverage runs across Telford, Shifnal, Newport and Bridgnorth, the widest stated patch in this round. The school claims sixteen-plus working years, and hourly lessons are published at a flat forty pounds for both gearboxes. The pay-monthly plans spread course costs across months rather than reducing the total, which suits a learner budgeting month to month.

Customer reviews are the weak point of this page: three stars on Google from six ratings, the lowest mark in the round. This review still credits the clear pricing, with hourly lessons published for both gearboxes. A base this small can move fast, so the average decides little on its own.

What counts against Driver Training Ltd is that review record, which sits well below every other ranked school. In our judgement the school suits a learner who wants an intensive course or a monthly plan at a known hourly rate and is untroubled by what past pupils say. No insurance details are published.

Questions about Driver Training Ltd Driving School

Is Driver Training Ltd any good?

It depends what you value: clear pricing with hourly lessons published for both gearboxes, intensive courses and pay-monthly plans across a wide patch. Against that stands three stars on Google from a small base, the lowest mark in the round. Read the ratings in full before deciding, then ask for the current hourly rate in writing.

Is Driver Training Ltd DVSA approved?

The school states all its instructors are fully DVSA-approved and regularly assessed. That is the school's own statement rather than individual ADI numbers on the page. Ask for your instructor's ADI number when you enquire and check it on the official GOV.UK finder. Get the confirmation before booking.

How much does Driver Training Ltd charge?

Hourly lessons for automatic and manual are published at a flat £40 rate on the site and the directory entry. Intensive courses and pay-monthly plans are offered on top. Confirm the current hourly figure, the test-day car fee and the plan terms in writing before booking, since published prices can move.

Where does Driver Training Ltd work?

The school works from Selbourne in Telford across Telford, Shifnal, Newport and Bridgnorth, with male and female instructors and hours Monday to Saturday. Send your postcode and whether you want weekly or intensive lessons when you enquire. Confirm the pick-up arrangement in writing first.

How is Driver Training Ltd ranked?

It ranks eighth of the eight driving schools in our September round, picked for intensive courses and pay-monthly plans in Telford. The lowest review record in the round decides its place at the foot of the table. Read the full review and the ratings before enquiring.

What do the reviews say about Driver Training Ltd?

Learners give the school three stars on Google from six ratings, the lowest mark in this round and a small base besides. That sits well below every other ranked school, whatever the pricing strengths. Read each review in full before deciding, then ask for the current hourly rate in writing.

How does Driver Training Ltd compare with the others in the round?

Against the round, PassFast is the price-and-plan pick: upfront hourly rates, intensives and pay-monthly plans across the widest stated patch. No other school pairs that clarity with that range, but none of the others carries this weak a review record either. Weigh the known price against what past pupils say before enquiring.
