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.

Congratulations Lewis who passed first time with our intensive days in Carlisle with Stephen Philipson.
Lewis was recommended from his sister who had previously passed with Stephen as she said he came highly recommended and he had already heard positive things about new starters driving school. When learning to drive Lewis said it wasnt as nerve racking as he had thought it would be and he felt at ease with his instructors teaching methods and found Stephen to be an excellent instructor. Lewis has already been recommending new starters because of the service he received and excellent experience.

A big congratulations to Samuel Bloomfield who passed in Carlisle with New starters instructor Mark......
Samuel started on our prelearner site before going out onto the roads, he reviewed New starters driving school and said,
When looking for an instructor Samuel wanted someone who was able to do after 5.30pm and he wanted somewhere to practice before going onto the roads. He also added that if needed he wanted the option of other instructors. When learning to drive it was as he had expected and he found his instructors teaching methods good and useful. Samuel added that he would recommend new starters as his instructor was friendly and reliable.

Patrick White
I couldn't recommend Lynda more to anyone learning to drive. Lynda takes the time you need, very good to chat with and just cares about you passing your test, putting a lot of confidence in you and getting that confidence in yourself as well.
Emily Brown
Well done to Emily Brown on your test pass in Carlisle with Stephen Philipson.
When looking for an instructor Emily said that the most important thing for her was being able to do some off road driving lessons aswell as being able to meet her instructor before going out onto the public roads, she also wanted an instructor who came highly recommended. When learning to drive Emily found it much more relaxed and her instructors teaching methods were very informative. Emily has said that she would recommend New starters driving school and she couldn't think of anything to improve.
Craig Mccaul
Well done to Craig Mccaul who passed with our new starters instructor Mark Hampton.
Craig wrote back to us with this review.............
When looking for an instructor Craig wanted someone who was easily accessible, had a good price, was a local business and had a good track record. When learning to drive he found it far easier than he had expected and much quicker to pick up than with his previous instructors, Craig found his instructors teaching methods were very engaging, clear and added that pens on the window is genious. Craig has added that he would recommend new starters as lessons are indepth and engaging and he has also added to keep doing what we are doing as its working.
Thank you Craig for your review and we wish you safe driving for life

Megan Bendle
Megan Bendle passed with our instructor Stephen at New starters driving school.......
Megan has said that when looking for an instructor she wanted someone who could teach her before she went onto the roads (another from our pre-learner driving site), Other important factors were that she wanted someone who was able to offer her a good block booking discount for lessons. Megan added that learning top drive was alot more scary when she first started but she found her instructors teaching methods were good and she learned things quickly. Megan would recommend New starters driving school as she passed her test first time and when asked if she would improve on anything she said her experience with the new starters staff was excellent
Henry Richards
Henry Richards was taught by our instructor John wardle in carlisle, he said that his most important criteria when choosing an instructor was that they were friendly and easy going, other factors were that they had to be reliable. When learning to drive with new starters driving school it was as expected and found my instructors teaching methods were really good. Henry added that he would recommend new starters driving school (and already has), the service was superb and there was nothing he would recommend as an improvement.
