Instructor Kevin West with K.S.Driving School Telford in short

Kevin West runs K.S. Driving School from St Johns Walk in Telford, a school describing fourteen years of local lessons starting on quiet nursery roads in dual-controlled cars. The school states DBS-checked instructors working to an industry code of practice, with a ten-hour package and intensive courses on offer.

Customer reviews are middling: four stars on Google from only a handful of ratings. This review finds plenty of history but the same gap as the other unranked schools: no DVSA approval is stated on the pages opened, so the school fails our registration requirement. No prices or insurance details are published. The dual-controlled cars and nursery-road starts still stand out on paper. In our judgement K.S. Driving School is one to watch if the approval detail arrives.

Questions about Instructor Kevin West with K.S.Driving School Telford

Is Kevin West with K.S. Driving School any good?

The history impresses: fourteen years of Telford lessons with dual-controlled cars and structured teaching from quiet roads. Against that stand middling Google ratings from a handful of reviewers and no stated DVSA approval. Choose a ranked school for now, and check back if the approval detail arrives.

Is Kevin West DVSA approved?

No approval can be sourced: the pages describe DBS-checked instructors and a code of practice but state no DVSA ADI approval, so the school fails our registration requirement. A DBS check is not instructor approval. Ask for the ADI number and check it on the official GOV.UK finder before considering lessons.

How much does K.S. Driving School charge?

A ten-hour package and intensive courses are offered but no prices are published. That leaves every figure to the phone call. Ask for the hourly rate, the package price with its expiry, and the cancellation terms in writing, and compare against the priced schools in this round.

Where does K.S. Driving School teach?

Kevin West runs the school from St Johns Walk in Telford, describing lessons that start on quiet nursery roads with instructors who know the Telford test routes. Send your postcode when you enquire. Confirm the pick-up arrangement and the hourly rate in writing before the first lesson.

How is K.S. Driving School ranked?

It is not ranked: it fails our registration requirement because no DVSA approval is stated on the pages opened. Long history and dual-controlled cars cannot substitute for that. If the school sends its approval detail through the Claim a listing link, the next round can reassess it.
