Starting your first driving lesson is an exciting milestone, and at A Star Auto & Manual Driving School, we make sure your experience is smooth, supportive, and confidence-boosting. As one of the leading providers of driving lessons in Derby and Derbyshire, we specialise in helping beginners feel comfortable behind the wheel from day one.
During your first session, our professional DVSA-approved instructors will take time to understand your experience level, goals, and learning style. You’ll begin with the basics: cockpit drill, understanding car controls, mirror checks, and moving off safely. Our instructors use calm, clear guidance to help you feel in control at all times—especially if you’re a nervous beginner.
We teach using modern, dual-controlled manual and automatic cars, giving you full safety and peace of mind. Whether you choose manual driving lessons or automatic driving lessons in Derby, your learning path is built around your pace, availability, and confidence level.
Our flexible scheduling options include evenings and weekends, making it easy for learners balancing work, university, or family commitments. You’ll quickly notice progress as we break skills into manageable steps—steering control, clutch balance, gear shifting, traffic observation, roundabout handling, and more.
What sets A Star apart is our supportive environment. We never rush lessons or overwhelm learners. Instead, we help you build confidence gradually, ensuring you’re fully prepared for real-world driving. You also gain access to free theory test training, helping you prepare for your mock tests and the DVSA theory exam.
For friendly, reliable, and stress-free driving lessons in Derby, A Star Auto & Manual Driving School is your ideal starting point.
