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.
Like what we do?
We would love you to share your experiences you've had with New Starters Driving School.
Hannah Nelson
Fantastic news for Hannah on passing her test first time with New starters driving schools instructor John Collins.
Hannah has done all of her lessons in Carlisle with John Collins and said when looking for an instructor she wanted someone with good pass rates and who was calm when teaching, other important factors for Hannah were the instructors knowledge of the roads and how helpful the instructor was. When learning to drive Hannah said that it was a hard process but her instructor made this all the more easier. Johns teaching methods were brilliant and extremely helpful which improved Hannahs confidence and Hannah has already been recommeding New starters because of how good John made her lessons.
Thank you for reviewing us Hannah and we wish you safe driving for life
Lewis Dixon
1st time pass with John wills, he's an amazing instructor. He's very easy going and can have a laugh but does take your driving very seriously, he wants you to pass and learn off your mistakes. If you're nervous about starting to drive I really recommend John.
James Walker
Well done James on passing your test today with your instructor Stephen Philipson.
When looking for an instructor James wanted to be able to start off road before going out onto the busy main roads. He found that when learning to drive it was harder than he thought but his instructors teaching methods were very good. He said he would recommend us as the instructors were friendly and has added that text message reminders to confirm dates and times would be a nice touch.Thank you James for your review and we wish you safe driving for life.
Keith filmer
Congratulations to Keith on passing his test with new starters driving school in carlisle. We asked keith to review us and he had this to say,
when choosing a driving school Keith said that he had always wanted to support new starters driving school as he knew Stephen. When learning to drive with his instructor John Collins he said that he progresssed a lot quicker than he had anticipated and that his instructors teaching methods were second to none. Keith has already recommended new starters driving school and said there was nothing that he would add to improve our services.
Amy Wright
Well done to Amy Wright on your first time test pass in Carlisle with our instructor Kenny Stevenson.
Amy stared with us on our pre learner site in Houghton. When looking for an instructor Amy wanted someone with a good pass rate, who was friendly and would let her learn in a relaxed and unpressured way. Compared to what Amy had initially thought learning to drive was more enjoyable than she'd expected. Her instructor Kenny's teaching methods were very good and Kenny was easy to talk to which made Amy relaxed and she was able to take things at her own pace. Amy has already been recommending New starters as she passed first time which is something she hadnt thought she would have been able to do, she also added the service was proffesional but friendly and enjoyable.
Thank you for your review Amy.
Stuart Steel
Stuart Steel passed with our New starters driving instructor Kenny and he wrote this about his experience......
When looking for an instructor they had to be value for money and have good availability, Stuart also wanted a likeable instructor. When learning to drive it was as he had expected and he has rated his instructors teaching methods 10/10. Stuart has said that he would recommend us as his lessons were very productive instead of being messed about. The only thing Stuart would improve on was that he would have liked the prices a little cheaper.
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.
