⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashleigh – Passed with 1 Minor
“I booked my crash course through Rated Driving and it has been nothing but exceptional! I had very limited availability, but Kevin and the team worked around everything to get it sorted. I started with no confidence and hardly any experience — and in just five weeks, I passed my first test with ONE minor! My instructor was absolutely amazing. I can’t fault a single thing. From nervous to fully confident and safe on the road in a matter of weeks — I’m so grateful!”

- ✅ Course arranged around limited availability
Public Transport Guidance
Getting to Alcester for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
While Alcester no longer has an active train station, having closed in 1964, reaching Alcester for your intensive driving course is straightforward via bus connections from nearby train stations.
From Birmingham New Street, take a train to Redditch. From Redditch, the X19 bus service provides a direct link to Alcester. If you’re travelling from Leamington Spa, take a Chiltern Railways train to Lapworth, then a West Midlands Railway train to Stratford-upon-Avon. From Stratford-upon-Avon, the X19 or 26 bus services will take you to Alcester. For those coming from Worcester, bus services require a transfer at Evesham Bus Station before continuing to Alcester.
The best times to travel to Alcester are generally during off-peak hours, outside of Monday-Friday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM) when buses and trains are less crowded. You can book train tickets via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.

Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Alcester, public transport is a viable option. From Redditch, the X19 bus offers a direct service to Alcester, typically taking around 26-31 minutes. This route runs hourly, with the earliest departure from Redditch Bus Station around 9:05 AM and the last around 7:12 PM, arriving in Alcester by 7:46 PM. The X19 also connects Stratford-upon-Avon to Alcester.
If you’re travelling from Coughton, a direct bus service to Alcester’s Grammar School stop takes only 4 minutes and runs every 30 minutes. From Worcester, you can reach Alcester by bus, though it requires a transfer at Evesham Bus Station, with the journey averaging 2 hours and 6 minutes. The 247 bus route serves areas like Broom, connecting to Alcester in about 11 minutes.
To avoid peak traffic, aim for mid-morning or early afternoon travel to Alcester. Bus tickets can often be purchased directly from the bus operator. For planning your journey and booking tickets, consider using resources like Stagecoach Bus, BusTickets.com, or CheckMyBus.

Where to Start?
Looking to learn to drive in Alcester? Whether you prefer automatic or manual, there are plenty of flexible lesson options available.
🤔 Wondering How Many Lessons It’ll Take?
You’ll hear numbers like 40 hours of lessons and 20 hours of private practice. But the truth? There’s no magic number.
Some learners feel test-ready in 30 hours. Others need more time to build confidence behind the wheel. What really matters isn’t the total - it’s the consistency.
The more often you drive, the faster everything clicks. And when you combine solid instructor lessons with regular private practice? That’s when real progress happens.
Your journey won’t look like anyone else’s. And that’s exactly how it should be.
🧐 How to Prepare for Your First Driving Lesson
Getting ready for your first driving lesson is an exciting step - and a bit of preparation can help you feel more confident and relaxed on the day. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the most of it:
1. Check Your Provisional Licence
Before your lesson, make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence. Your instructor will need to see it to confirm you’re legally allowed to drive.
2. Get Familiar with the Basics
Take a few minutes to learn the basic layout of a car - the pedals, gear stick, steering wheel, and mirrors. Watching a short video or reading a beginner’s guide can help you feel more prepared.
3. Choose Comfortable Clothing
Wear clothes that allow you to move freely and flat-soled shoes that give you good control of the pedals. Avoid anything bulky or restrictive.
4. Bring the Essentials
Have your provisional licence with you, along with glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. A bottle of water is also a good idea to stay hydrated.
5. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Feeling well-rested will help you stay focused and alert throughout your lesson.
6. Brush Up on the Highway Code
A quick review of key road signs, speed limits, and basic driving rules can give you a boost in confidence before you get behind the wheel. [download The Highway Code 2025 PDF]
7. Keep Your Expectations Realistic
Your first lesson is all about getting familiar with the car and starting to build your skills. Don’t worry about getting everything perfect - take it one step at a time.
With the right preparation and a calm mindset, you’ll be off to a great start.
🙏 What to Expect on Your First Driving Lesson
Your first driving lesson is a key milestone - it's where everything begins. The goal is to help you feel comfortable, introduce you to the car, and give you your first taste of driving. Here’s what typically happens during your first session:
1. Meet Your Instructor
You’ll meet your DVSA-approved driving instructor, who will check your provisional licence and have a quick chat about any experience or knowledge you already have.
2. Go Through the Cockpit Drill (DSSSM)
Before driving, you'll go through a quick safety routine to get set up properly:
- Doors - Make sure all doors are securely closed.
- Seat - Adjust your seat so you can reach the pedals comfortably.
- Steering - Adjust the steering wheel to suit your position.
- Seatbelt - Buckle up for safety.
- Mirrors - Position your mirrors for a clear view around the car.
3. Learn the Basic Car Controls
Your instructor will show you the key controls, including:
- Accelerator, brake, and clutch (if you're learning in a manual)
- Gear stick, handbrake, and indicators
- Other essentials like lights and wipers
4. Practice Moving Off and Stopping
You’ll start with the basics:
- How to start the engine safely
- Checking mirrors and blind spots
- Moving off smoothly and bringing the car to a controlled stop
5. Drive on Quiet Roads
If you're ready, your instructor may take you to a quiet area to practice simple driving skills like steering, gear changes, and stopping calmly.
6. Feedback and Next Steps
At the end of the lesson, your instructor will talk you through what went well and what to work on next time. This feedback helps you build confidence and track your progress.
Getting You Connected
Once your place is secured with a deposit, we’ll aim to match you with a DVSA-registered driving instructor within 14 days. If we can’t, we’ll refund you - no chasing, no questions.

Top Tip for Intensive Driving Courses 👨🏫
“Intensive driving courses can be a great way to learn quickly, but they’re not a shortcut to safe driving. I always remind my pupils: it’s not about cramming—it’s about retaining. Make sure you’re still getting variety in your practice: different roads, weather, and traffic conditions.
Also, be honest with yourself. If you need a little more time to build confidence, take it. It’s better to be fully ready than to rush into a test. A well-paced intensive course, combined with structured learning, can help you pass faster—and drive smarter for life.”
