Nervous pupils, young or mature will always be made to feel welcome and your driving instructor will always ensure that the teaching process will be set at a pace that is right for you!

Our approach

We provide all of our students with Theory and Hazard perception support and will actively encourage students to start preparing early.

We offer all our students Mock theory tests on In car computers so the Trainer and Student can both monitor the progress being made.

We provide all students with the necessary New edition Highway Code, and more than 60 various handouts via email which will supplement and support all aspects of your lessons up to and beyond your driving test, as we believe that driving is a skill for life.

The best way of learning to drive is by having professional lessons and supplementing these with plenty of private practice, this can be with either family or friends. We can give you advice as to how they can help and what with. In this way you can be sure that you will reach test requirements in the shortest possible time, but to the highest possible standards.

A big thank you to Wayne for all your help and perseverance over the last few months. I previously had 2 other instructors and I just wanted to give up, but after a recommendation from a work colleague, I called Chevron School of Motoring and spoke to Wayne, who was to be my 3rd instructor, after a short time with Wayne, I thought I can do this.. and I DID! I can’t thank you enough, for all your help. I know I must have caused you a few headaches although you never showed it! ha-ha. I promise you, I will be singing your praises to everyone. What a great Instructor. Don’t know what I am going to do with my Mondays and Wednesdays now? You may have lost a pupil but you have gained a friend. Thank you so much. Andrea

Inspirational!

Over the past 4 years i have tried several driving schools but never felt as comfortable as i did when i met Wayne from Chevron School of Motoring. After making the initial call and speaking to Wayne, i truly felt that this is going to work and for the first time i believed that i can pass my test. After passing my Theory test, something of which i felt i could never do, after failing 5 times.. but with help and guidance, I have now passed my Driving test after only 4 months, I cannot recommend WAYNE and his team at Chevron enough, the professionalism that they show is second to none, nothing is to much for them, from the initial phone call, which i thought was the hardest part to the meeting up on the 1st lesson was smooth, and as i stated at the beginning, it was Inspirational. Wayne gave me so much confidence and positivity in my own abilities, something of which i am carrying on as im now driving on my own… even though i have called him on his mobile a couple of times for advice, he is always there for me even after passing!! He’s a Star very passionate about his job!

If you are considering taking up driving, which is something we all have to do, please call Chevron and if you get WAYNE as your instructor you will see what i mean, he is a True professional.

Thank you all at Chevron.
