We have built a concrete reputation for first-rate customer service in conjunction with delivering excellent results. Our driving school currently provides driving lessons to around 500 pupils a week.
Every one of our driving lessons is fully structured and will have a firm objective of what is to be achieved during that lesson. Once we have established the learning objective with the Pupil and checked they have a good idea of what is expected to reach that 0bjective, we then set a bespoke lesson plan to accomplish maximum learning for the duration of the driving lesson.
All of our driving instructors are very highly skilled in teaching. During the lesson the instructor will give full instruction when required or merely use prompts to help guide the pupil to a successful conclusion. The aim of course is to transfer full responsibility to the pupil to enable total independent driving.
Using this structured way of teaching makes passing the driving test far easier as the pupil will already have mastered independent driving before taking the test resulting in far more self-confidence and as a result, far less of those dreaded driving test day nerves.
But you don't have to take our word for it. Check out our customer reviews we have over 350 reviews and over 500 local test passes on this website from our past pupils who have taken their driving tests with our instructors in the towns we cover.

My Experience with Topclass driving school was amazing
"My driving experience with Top Class driving School was amazing. My instructor was Asha and every driving lesson was enjoyable, she was very thorough and the quality of the lessons were very good. I was taught everything I needed to know and to a good standard. Asha is a very nice driving instructor and I felt no pressure when driving the car. I felt very relaxed and when it came to taking my test I passed with only two minors. Any problems or habits that I picked up were addressed immediately and this allowed me to pass with ease and confidence and i become a much safer driver. Passing my test has opened up many doors of freedom and has made my life much more flexible. I am now able to attend any job interview without the worry of having to use public transport. I would highly recommend using Top Class Driving School to anyone who is wishing to learn to Drive."

If you scrolled down on the website recently you can be forgiven for thinking you were seeing double or even treble, let us reassure you that you weren't seeing things, because what you saw were the identical Tilley Triplets, from left to right: Bex, Amy & Gemma, their instructor Keith couldn't be more proud of them, and would like to thank them for not trying to trick him by coming to lessons pretending to be one another! We wish them all best wishes and be safe in their Ford KA's.
"I would sincerely recommend Top Class as the best choice for driving lessons!"
"Hi my names Emily, I would just like to say a massive Thank You to Top Class driving school and my driving instructor Shaun especially for being incredibly patient and a fantastic instructor to helping me pass my driving test! I was incredibly nervous on the build up to test day but was constantly reassured which really helped. I did an intensive driving course and I would recommend it to anyone - Shaun was a great instructor who was incredibly flexible with times to suit my university schedule, which took the pressure off completely. I would sincerely recommend Top Class as the best choice for driving lessons! Thanks so much again, I will be recommending to all family and friends!"

"I passed on my first test with the company with only 2 minors"
"Hi I would like to say thank you to Top class driving school and my driving instructor Keith. He is the loveliest driving instructor Going, I had no confidence in myself At all until I drove with Keith. I have a young child so arranging lessons was sometime difficult but Keith always managed to fit me in always got in touch with me about changes. I loved driving the car it was always clean and tidy. Keith is a professional but laid back and that worked well. We could talk and the atmosphere was great and built the confidence I needed. Because of Keith I passed on my first test with the company with only 2 minors, Keith is honest and will tell you when your ready for test he told me and didn't believe him but went with it and he was right for that I will always be grateful."

"He is very patient, chatty, and a great driving instructor..."
"First of all I would like to thank Tim from Topclass Driving School for being such a great driving instructor. Being a 1st time learner I was very nervous. On the 1st lesson Tim put me at ease straight away. He is very patient, chatty, and a great driving instructor. Tim was always reliable and very flexible with lesson times making sure you could get a driving lesson when you needed. He would always work around you and what best suits You. Tim filled me with confidence to drive on the A2 to bluewater ( which I was petrified of ) within a matter of weeks and thats a great achievement. He was always Cool, Calm, & Collective on his approach to teaching. I would always recommend Topclass Driving School with a Topclass Instructor (Tim). I couldn't have done it without your support and confidence in me and I thank you greatly in helping me pass my driving test 1st time I'm definitely going to miss our weekly chats on putting the world to rights."
Claire Rixon, Chatham, Kent.
"A driving instructor I would highly recommend!"
"Before I started driving lessons, I really wasn't sure whether driving was for me or not. I didn't know if after my first lesson I was going to freak out and walk away from driving. Once I met my driving instructor (Keith Babbs) and done my first lesson with him, he filled me with a lot of confidence and I knew that with him as my driving instructor, I would eventually pass my test. 6 months later, I passed my driving test first time with no driving faults at all! For anyone who is looking into driving, Keith Babbs really is the driving instructor you want, he is patient, kind, calm, friendly and very helpful. Believe me when I say that this man puts 110% into teaching you while helping you keep calm and relaxed. Definitely a driving instructor I would highly recommend!!!"

"He works especially on your less strong points to give you the confidence you need to pass..."
"Andy was a brilliant instructor and from the word go had me thinking about how the test format works. I did a week intense course which I can really recommend as you get to grips with the car so quickly allowing you to progress fast! We did a good combination of manoeuvres, city driving, dual carriage ways and general road safety each lesson. Andy's experience shows as he works especially on your less strong points to give you the confidence you need to pass. I learnt to drive in Maidstone and passed my test first go in Herne bay which proves the skills I learnt from Andy can be demonstrated on any road with success!"
Louis Robinson, Maidstone, Kent.
"I took my test on the fifth day of my intensive course, and I passed!..."
"Having failed my driving test a few times when I was younger, I had lost a lot of my confidence in driving and hadn't driven for several years. This year, I wanted to try a new driving school, do an intensive course over a week, and finally pass the test. I contacted Topclass and I was immediately put in touch with Gillian, my instructor in Ipswich. She was really helpful right from the beginning, and we quickly sorted out an intensive course of lessons which fit into my schedule. Over the week Gillian was dedicated, positive, and extremely professional. I was nervous to be driving again, but Gillian was encouraging and kept me calm, and taught me everything I needed to know. I took my test on the fifth day of my intensive course, and I passed! I still feel like Gillian performed a mini-miracle!"
Helena Moon, Ipswich, Suffolk.
"I want to say a huge thank you..."
"I want to say a huge thank you to my now ex-driving instructor Keith Babbs for helping me pass my driving test... FIRST time. When I first joined top class I was a bit nervous as I hadn't had great experiences in the past. And needless to say, I questioned majority of my manoeuvres. Also, I'm sure Keith can back me up when I say this - But I asked so many questions. Nevertheless, in the state I was in Keith managed to get me on the straight and narrow and I finally started to enjoy driving. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. He has bundles of energy and even larger amounts of patience. He has a professional manner in everything he approaches and is very accommodating. I had great fun while learning to drive with Keith, he has a great sense of humour and knows how to crack a joke or three. I would recommend Keith to anyone; he is such a lovely character. This may be the end of my driving lessons, but it won't be the last time we meet."
