Choosing Your Driving School
Telephone us08006226760Text us07976797468
Choosing a driving schoolis probably the most important decision that you will have to make and can be a daunting prospect. A quick look in the Yellow Pages shows over 40 driving schools in the Gillingham and Maidstone area alone so how do you go about identifying the one to suit your needs? The following sections detail some of the ways people make there choice.
Personal Recommendations
The best method by far is a recommendation from a friend or relative who can give you first hand experience of the driving school or instructor. Personal recommendations provide us with around 65% of our work, this is something that we are very proud of. We like to think that all of our pupils are happy with the customer service and tuition they receive and without their recommendation we simply couldntsurvive.
After twelve years of learning how to drive on and off I finally passed today. I am so over the moon and very grateful to Tim of Topclass driving school who took the time and patience to teach me all the manoeuvres and how to drive confidentially and safely in just 3 weeks. I found him very approachable, kind and extremely efficient. Definitely the best driving instructor I have had in my twelve years of taking driving lessons. I most defiantly recommend Topclass driving school to all learner drivers and especially Tim who is ace.
Paula Chatham Kent
I have been having lessons with Top Class driving instructor Sean Healy since September last year and was extremely pleased not only with the price, but also with the quality of the Driving lessons. The atmosphere was relaxed and Sean made me feel comfortable in what was, at the time, a completely new experience. Sean helped me tremendously and with his help I managed to pass my practical driving test first time on the 3rd of April 2013. I would like to say many thanks to Topclass Driving School and My Driving Instructor Sean Healy

Qualifications
Sadly the standard of driving tuition and service throughout the whole industry is no where near as high as it should be, and for this reason the Driving Standards Agency (the people who conduct your driving test and those that are responsible for overseeing the industry) Will be introducing continued professional development. This means that driving instructors will have to complete and maintain extra training to improve standards. Here at Topclass Driving School we take continued professional development very seriously and since the Driving School started in April 1998 we have spent a proportion of the lesson fees that we receive on continued development.
Tuition Quality
A Share of our work is from students that have decided to change from their present driving school or instructor due to a variety of reasons e.g. "my instructor is always talking on his/her mobile phone instead of looking after me"; "I receive no feedback or any encouragment to enable me to improve"; "he/she is always late"; "the tuition car smells of smoke"; "he/she talks more about themselves than about my driving". These are just some of the reasons that are given to us when talking to new students transfering to us. Is this you? Does this sound familiar? Here at Topclass Driving School we Think that we offer a realistic lesson price that enables us to attract the very best instructors in the area, and also invest in continued training to keep our instructors at the top of our profession. We do not ask for fees in advance, as we feel very confident that you will stay with us
Beware of Gimmicks
There are lots of ways that driving schools will attract new students, some will offer free lessons, buy one get one free, and all sorts of gimmicks. Most will have a catch! You now have the task of sifting through all of the different offers, but remember that very few things in life are free and you do generally get what you pay for. You have to ask yourself this question - Why do instructors or schools offer cut price lessons? It could be that they offer a cut price service, it could be that they are struggling for work, Just ask your self why is this if they are the cheapest in town?
In Conclusion
As mentioned Before your choice is a daunting one and your final decision could be a very costly mistake if you get it wrong.
A few things to consider when choosing your driving lesson provider.
Ask your family and friends for any recommendations.
Check out any recomendations given by looking at their websites & social media accounts (Face book Twitter Etc).
Do they have fantastic positive customer reviews.
Do they provide driving lessons in your own areas.
Do they offer driving lessons in manual or automatic vehicles.
Will the driving instructors provide driving lessons on a day / time that will suits you.
Can the driving instructors provide regular driving lesson slots to suit your requirments.
Give the driving instructor or driving school a call and speak to them in person, can you build a rapport with them to help you learn quicker.
Does the driving school or driving instructor offer a no quibble money back guarantee.
Does the driving instructor or driving school offer any help with the theory test.
Whatever your choice is, we hope it is the correct one and would like to wish you a productive and positive learning experience along with safe driving for life. Best Regards
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!"
Emily Wakelen, Sittingbourne Kent.
"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."
Kerry Neale, Sittingbourne, Kent.
"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!!!"
Chris Hogben.
"My driving experience with Top Class 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."
James Degen, Gravesend, Kent.
"He made me feel at ease..."
"I passed my driving test on 27th of August with Alan Day. I would like to say a BIG thank you to my instructor Alan, I started learning to drive about a year and a half ago and had no confidence in driving at all. I was a nightmare at times, I was scared of everything, My instructor was really patient with me, never put me in any situation I wasn't ready for, he made me feel at ease. He was flexible with my lessons too as I had to work them around my children. He was honest, reliable and always on time. I never thought I would say this but I passed my driving test 1st time. I still can't believe it now! I really couldn't have done it with out Alan day!"."
Danielle Truelove, Faversham, Kent.
"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."
