Choosing between manual and automatic driving lessons is a key decision for every learner in Derbyshire. At A Star Auto & Manual Driving School, we offer expert training in both, helping you choose the option that suits your driving goals, learning style, and confidence level.
Manual driving lessons in Derby are ideal for learners who want full control over the vehicle. You’ll learn clutch control, smooth gear changes, hill starts, and efficient driving techniques that prepare you for all types of vehicles. A manual licence also allows you to drive both manual and automatic cars after passing your test, making it the more flexible option.
Automatic driving lessons in Derby are perfect for beginners who want a simpler, more relaxed driving experience. Without gears or clutch to manage, you can focus on road awareness, lane positioning, and hazard perception. Many nervous or anxious learners prefer automatic lessons because they allow faster confidence-building.
At A Star, both lesson types are delivered by DVSA-approved instructors with years of teaching experience. Our dual-controlled cars, calm learning environment, and flexible scheduling help ensure that every learner progresses at their own pace. Whether you’re preparing for the DVSA practical test or simply trying to decide which route is right for you, our instructors guide you through the process with expert advice.
We also stay fully up-to-date with all changes to the Highway Code and test requirements, ensuring you learn the safest and most modern techniques. Combined with our free theory test training and excellent student support, we make the decision-making process easy and stress-free.
If you're unsure which option is best, A Star Auto & Manual Driving School can provide a trial lesson to help you decide.
