At Ready To Pass Driver Training, we help learners on the Wirral become safe, confident drivers — not just test passers. Our lessons are delivered one-to-one by experienced instructors with deep insight into what makes a successful driver, both on test day and in everyday driving.
With structured coaching that follows the DVSA driver training syllabus and examiner-led experience behind every lesson, our approach focuses on:
Building strong driving fundamentals
Developing fault awareness and safe decision-making
Clear explanations that actually make sense
Preparing you thoroughly for your driving test and life on the road
Proper preparation before booking a test
We don’t rush learners, and we don’t rely on shortcuts or memorising routes. We teach you how to drive confidently anywhere — to a standard where taking the test feels like a natural next step.
Our instructors — Dave, Susie, and Mark — are handpicked to teach with the same calm, clear approach that has helped learners succeed again and again. Between them they have:
Learning to drive can feel daunting, especially if you’re nervous or unsure what to expect. Our role is to guide you clearly and patiently, helping you build skills at your own pace.
Qualified as Approved Driving Instructors (ADI)
Served as DVSA driving test examiners
Conducted over 30,000 driving tests at Upton, Wallasey, and Chester test centres
That experience gives you confidence that what you’re learning is exactly what examiners expect — and what safe driving requires.
Many of our learners come to us feeling nervous, lacking confidence, or frustrated after lessons elsewhere. Parents often want reassurance that lessons are safe, structured, and delivered properly.
Learners tell us they value:
Calm, patient instruction
Feeling listened to and supported
Knowing they are genuinely ready before taking their test
Parents regularly tell us they value the peace of mind that comes from examiner-led experience and a safety-first approach.
Our aim is simple:
To help you feel confident, capable, and properly prepared — not rushed.
Calm, patient tuition tailored to your pace
Structured lessons with clear progress
Honest feedback and clear explanations
Real-world driving experience on Wirral roads
Test readiness built naturally over time
Whether you’re a complete beginner, returning after a break, or changing instructor, we’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.
Our lessons are based on 50-minute session times and are designed to give you the time you need to learn effectively.
50 min single lesson – £42
75 min extended lesson – £63
100 min double lesson – £84
We are not the cheapest option — and we don’t try to be. What we offer is fair value for the standard of training you receive: personalised, examiner-informed, and focused on your long-term safety as a driver.
When you begin with us, we take time to understand your experience, confidence level, and goals. We schedule lessons to suit your life — whether that means starting from home, work, college, or another convenient location on the Wirral.
Whether you are:
A complete beginner
Restarting lessons after a break
Learning after an unhelpful previous instructor
We help you build skills from where you are now — with confidence, clarity, and support.
I’m nervous about learning to drive — can you help?
Yes. We regularly work with nervous and anxious learners. Lessons are calm, patient, and tailored to your pace, with plenty of time to build confidence gradually.
I’m a complete beginner — is that okay?
Absolutely. Many of our learners start with no previous experience. We’ll guide you step by step, building strong foundations from the very first lesson.
How long will it take me to be ready for my test?
Everyone learns at a different pace. We focus on helping you become test-ready and safe, rather than rushing you to a test before you’re fully prepared.
Do you teach local test routes?
We use local Wirral roads, including areas around Upton and Wallasey, to build real-world driving skills. We don’t rely on memorising routes — instead, we help you drive confidently anywhere.
Can you help if I’ve had lessons before but didn’t get on well?
Yes. Many learners come to us after previous lessons elsewhere. We’ll take time to understand what hasn’t worked for you and adapt our approach to suit your needs.
If you have a question that isn’t answered here, feel free to get in touch — we’re always happy to help.
