Pass faster and pass cheaper with our great value driving lessons in Wolverhampton

When you’re booking your driving lessons in Wolverhampton, you’ll no doubt accept that there is a certain amount of cost involved. What you don’t want, however, is a long, drawn-out process that takes lots of time and requires lots of money. And we don’t want that either. Our aim is to get you through your test as quickly and cheaply as possible.

At Homers Driving School, our success rate speaks for itself. Our learners require around half the amount of driving lessons when compared to other companies and 83% of them pass their test first time. When you compare this against the national average first time pass rate of 47%, you realise just how impressive this is.

This success rate is down to our highly qualified and experienced driving instructors in Wolverhampton and our tried and tested teaching methods which set us apart from the competition.

So how do we do it?

Online driving syllabus

Our unique online training syllabus gives you a head start when learning to drive and can help you pass your test faster. Just agree with your instructor what lesson you will be doing and use our online training sheets to read up on that topic both before and after your lesson.

The online driving lessons syllabus includes topics such as vehicle controls, T-junctions, traffic lights, use of speed and pedestrian crossings. Studying this information really helps further your knowledge and will reduce the number of lessons you need.

The best driving instructors

We have extremely high standards for our driving instructors. They are all fully qualified and registered with the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency and have all passed a DBS check.

Many have even achieved a Grade 6 classification – the highest standard for a driving instructor – and all are required to continue their professional training throughout the year. So if you are looking for the best driving instructor in Wolverhampton, you’ve come to the right place.

The best teaching methods

It’s not all about qualifications on paper though. Although all of our driving instructors are fully qualified – we never send trainees to carry out lessons – it’s also about the rapport between you and your instructor.

Our instructors are highly skilled when it comes to making your learning fun, relaxed and enjoyable so you can become a confident and safe driver for life.

We employ various training methods, including showing you pictures, swapping seats with your instructor so they can demonstrate what to do and the use of iPads and other technology to enhance your learning experience.

Tailored plan of driving lessons

Learning to drive is a very personal experience. What works for one driver, may not work for the next. We understand that and will tailor your course of learning specifically to your needs and requirements. This applies whether you are a complete beginner, need to brush up on problem areas, or need intensive driving lessons to learn quickly for a particular deadline.

Tailored driving lessons in Wolverhampton

When it comes to learning to drive, there are various ways you can go about it. Most commonly, people either book a series of lessons spread over several weeks or months, or an intensive course of lessons packed into a shorter timeframe.

Whether you’re looking for regular or intensive driving lessons in Wolverhampton, you’ve come to the right place.

Driving courses designed especially for you

At Homers Driving School, we design our courses around your requirements. Courses of driving lessons are structured especially for you, based on your level of experience, your aspirations and your time scales.

Our driving instructors work closely with pupils from the outset to create tailored courses geared towards helping you achieve your driving goals.

Intensive driving lessons

Sometimes, intensive driving lessons – also known as a ‘crash course’ – offers the best solution for learning to drive. For example:

  • If you have limited time and would struggle to commit to regular lessons, then getting the majority of your learning done during a one or two-week block course may be more realistic
  • You may find intensive training to be a preferable learning method, especially if you struggle to retain information from one driving lesson to the next
  • If you need to be able to drive as soon as possible, or to meet a certain deadline, intensive driving lessons may be your only option
  • Intensive driving lessons could work out cheaper in the long run, particularly if time constraints mean you would struggle to maintain consistency of lessons
  • A short intensive course could be useful for topping up your knowledge ahead of your test, or if you’ve had a long break since your last lessons

The content of an intensive course is exactly the same as any regular driving course, it’s just taught over a shorter period of time.

However, that’s not to say this method is for everyone. If you’re thinking of intensive driving lessons in Wolverhampton, our experienced, highly-qualified driving instructors can help you decide whether it’s the right course of action for you.

Pass your driving test quickly

Whether you opt for an intensive course or not, Homers Driving School has an excellent success rate when it comes to getting pupils through their driving test quickly.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency advises that it can take an average 45 hours of professional tuition before a pupil is ready to book a driving test. At Homers Driving School, we average 27.5 hours.

Yet at the same time, our pupils require only half the driving lessons of other schools and our first-time pass rate of 83% is phenomenal – especially when you compare it to the national average first-time pass rate of just 47%.

This success rate is down to our tried and tested techniques and our top rate driving instructors. When it comes to finding a driving instructor in Wolverhampton, you won’t find better anywhere else.

Cheap driving lessons in Wolverhampton

You would think that our high success rate would come at a premium, but it really doesn’t. We offer genuine value for money on driving lessons, whether you opt for an intensive course or regular lessons.

With our deals for new drivers, the cost of driving lessons couldn’t be more affordable, with 10-hour blocks available for just £125.

All seasons driving lessons in Wolverhampton

No-one can plan for the weather when it comes to the time of your driving lesson. New drivers are often nervous enough about the prospect of getting behind the wheel for the first time, never mind the potential for bad weather.

If you’re lucky, your first lesson will be on a nice dry day with optimum weather conditions. However, you could be thrown straight in with rain or snow.

Expert tuition from expert driving instructors

Whatever the weather, Homers is an all seasons driving school in Wolverhampton. That means our expert driving instructors won’t shy away from going out in all weathers – and neither should you.

Unless conditions are particularly dangerous, your driving test will go ahead come rain or shine, so learning to tackle all weathers is an important part of learning to drive.

Understanding what to do in different weather scenarios could feature in your driving test. For example, if it starts raining, the examiner will expect you to know when to clear your windscreen and where the controls are.

Learning to drive is about more than just passing your test though. It’s about gaining the experience and confidence to become a safe driver for life. Having knowledge of all seasons driving is part of this.

Driving safely in the rain

Changes in the weather often call for changes in the way you drive to make sure you are driving appropriately and safely to suit the conditions.

There are certain factors and potential additional hazards to be aware of in adverse weather, such as rain.

For example:

  • Stopping distances are much greater when the road surface is wet
  • Visibility will be reduced due to falling rain and water on the windscreen
  • Standing surface water presents a risk of aquaplaning

These and other risks need to be taken into account when driving in the rain. If you experience wet weather conditions while out on your driving lessons in Wolverhampton, your driving instructor will talk you through the appropriate measures to take.

This could include:

  • Checking screen wash levels and windscreen wipers before setting off
  • Wiping your shoes on the car mat first to prevent your feet from slipping on the pedals
  • Driving at a reduced speed with a greater distance between you and the car in front, to allow for a bigger stopping distance
  • Using dipped headlights when visibility is less than 100 metres, as per the rules of the Highway Code
  • What to do if the steering becomes unresponsive, which is likely to mean surface water is preventing the tyres from gripping the road. In this case, you should ease off the accelerator and gradually slow down
  • Taking extra care around cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians
  • Not driving too fast through standing water and braking gently where possible
  • Being aware of spray from large or fast-moving vehicles
  • Being aware of the dangers of spilt diesel as this will make the road surface even more slippery

Homers Driving School is home to the best driving instructors in the region. We demand more from our instructors than most other schools and they are qualified to high standards. As a result, our pupils average half the amount of lessons when compared to other companies and our first-time pass rates are almost double the national average.

Finding the RIGHT Driving Instructor in Halesowen

Not every person that starts their driving lessons in Halesowen will learn in the same way. We all have different abilities, skills and confidence levels when it comes to learning to drive.

Of course, this also applies to driving instructors in Halesowen, because whether we like to admit it or not, driving instructor teaching methods, skill level and attitude will impact on students that are learning to drive in Halesowen, by either helping…. or hindering progress.

So, what should you look for when deciding on the right driving instructor in Halesowen, West Midlands for your local driving lessons, and which instructors should you avoid?

Halesowen Driving Instructors; What to Look For

It may seem that your choices are limited when searching for a driving instructor in Halesowen, but rather than just settle on the first one you find, why not give it some thought and find the best advanced driving instructor (ADI) so that you can be confident that your path to your pass will be as relaxed as possible. So, when searching for a driving instructor in Halesowen, its best to look for the following:

  • Skill Level

Driving instructors are assessed on their ability to teach every 4 years, and from that assessment receive a grade level. Those that achieve the highest total scores receive a Grade A category. This means they aren’t just OK at helping their students, but have shown the highest standard of instruction possible. So, when selecting a good driving instructor in Halesowen, look for Grade A instructors who will provide the best possible tuition which will equal higher pass rates. 

  • Experience

If you want to get the best from your driving lessons in Halesowen, then you’ll need a driving instructor that has plenty of experience in teaching a variety of different people. This helps because no matter what your skill level, age or confidence, they can adjust their teaching methods to suit you as an individual; a skill only often developed through years of experience.  Some experienced driving instructors in Halesowen have over 10 years helping thousands of students to pass their driving tests. 

  • Reviews

Recommendations go a very long way when choosing the right driving instructor in Halesowen. Even instructors that hold a good grade level can sometimes be unreliable, distracted or struggle to meet the learning needs of their students. Driving instructors in Halesowen that work for reputable driving schools will have reviews and recommendations available to check for yourself and to see what other students thought of driving lessons with that instructor. Here’s an example1.

  • Attitude and personality

Your driving lessons in Halesowen should always be an experience you can enjoy, not one to dread. So when considering the right driving instructor, it’s worth checking their teaching style and attitude. Many driving schools will provide a profile of their instructors, you can also gain some insight from student reviews or perhaps you can have a trial lesson with them to see if you both work well together. A good driving school will offer a number of instructors to help put you at ease, these could be fun and friendly, calm and understanding, male, female or even ones that understand your culture or background.

When arranging a driving instructor in Halesowen, why not request an instructor that will suit your personality and confidence levels.

  • Local knowledge

Last but not least, a good driving instructor in Halesowen should have an expert knowledge of the local roads, area and test route to give you the best opportunity to build confidence. Driving instructors that are local residents of Halesowen will know the best roads to start you on, before moving to faster roads, or more complex junctions, and then finally to give you plenty of practice round the test routes so you are prepared to take your practical test. So finding a driving instructor that is from, or is extremely familiar with the area you will be taking your driving lessons in Halesowen, will be a great support.

There you have some guidelines on what to look for when you choose a driving instructor for your driving lessons in Halesowen, West Midlands. At Homers Driving school we always make sure we employ local Halesowen driving instructors that meet the above requirements, which is why our pass rates are +83% for first time passes.
