Driving Lessons in Carlisle - Start from the age of 14 to any age.
It's quite a scary place to learn to drive on today's busy road systems, especially with Carlisle's one way system - so why don't you start somewhere safer, with no traffic, so that you can learn to control a car before testing the roads.
New Starters Driving School has access to a full 60 hectare site with large tarmac area and road layout, just on the outskirts of Carlisle.
We can teach you how to set off safely, pull up safely, steer correctly, use the gears and clutch, engine breaking and even how to do a hill start all on your first lesson. With as little risk as possible as there's no other traffic.
You can come back and learn how to do T junctions and all your manouvers before risking the roads.
Our driving instructor, Stephen Philipson, is a fully qualified, DBS checked, DVSA approved driving instructor. He has been teaching for over 5 years with an excellent pass rate. So if you want, we would love it if you stayed with us when you venture out on the highways.

We would love you to share your experiences you've had with New Starters Driving School.
Mark cottam
Mark cottam had intensive driving days with the new starters driving instructor Stephen, he said that when choosing an instructor they had to have an excellent pass rate and had to be local, he also added that experience was a factor when choosing an instructor. When learning to drive he had expected it to be difficult but when he got into the driving it was much easier than he had thought as Stephen made him feel comfortable and his teaching methods were easy to understand. Mark said he would recommend new starters to others as the price was fair and the communication was good, adding that he couldn't think of anything to improve the driving school.

Congratulations to Adam Brown who passed his driving test with New starters driving school, Adam passed with our instructor John Wardle and he also started his lessons on the Pre-learner site in Houghton Carlisle.
Adam reviewed New starters driving school and he had this to say............
When choosing an instructor he wanted someone that he could start before he was 17 years old and he wanted someone with a good reputation. When learning to drive Adam found that there was a lot more to think about and do to make sure that you are a safe and everyone around you is safe. He found that John delivered every lesson with confidence and huge amounts of proffesionalism whilst keeping each lesson fun and safe. Adam has said that he would recommend New starters driving school and he said there was nothing to improve as we did everything right.

Well done Rhia on your test pass with our instructor Kenny.
Rhia reviewed our services and said.....
When choosing an instructor they had to have a good reputation, needed to be flexible with there hours and to work weekends. When learning to drive Rhia had initially learned 10 years ago but found this time much more successful, her instructors teaching methods were very good and Kenny was always calm and positive which is what Rhia needed. Rhia said she would definately recommend New starters as Kenny is a great instructor and she also liked her mock test with our other instructor John, Rhia added that this shows how much we all work together as a team. Nothing was needed to improve on and Rhia added everything was very positive with her experience.
Carlie Marshal
Well done to Carlie Marshall who passed her test in Carlisle with our John Wardle.
Carlie started her driving lessons on our pre learner site in Houghton before she turned 17 years and has went on to pass her test. When looking for an instructor Carlie wanted a school where she could start off road before going onto the roads and she also awanted somewhere that was well known and had a good backround. When learning to drive Carlie had expected to hate it but she loved every second. Her instructors teaching methods were great and he would adjust each method to suit her. Carlie added that she would recommend new starters as learning to drive was made fun.
Thank you for your review Carlie and we wish you safe driving for life.
Bethany Duffy
Bethany Duffy passed first time with Kenny stevenson at new starter driving school.
Bethany started on our pre learner site in Houghton Carlisle where she laerned her car basics before heading out onto the busy road systems. When looking for an instructor Bethany wanted someone who was friendly and who was also experienced, She also added that she wanted an instructor who was reliable, not too high in price and that would tell her the weekly progress she was making. Bethany initially looked at driving as a daunting prospect but was given plenty of encouragement and soon got over this barrier. Her instructor Kennys teaching methods were great and with easy to follow methods and tips and she would 100% recommend to others as the off road site built up her confidence before heading onto the road and made the transition easier.
Well done and thank you for the review Bethany, we wish you safe driving for life.
