⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

For learner drivers heading to Bicester for an intensive driving course, navigating public transport is straightforward. Bicester has two main train stations: Bicester North and Bicester Village.
If you’re coming from Oxford, direct Chiltern Railways services frequently arrive at Bicester Village, with journeys as fast as 14 minutes. From London, specifically London Marylebone, Chiltern Railways offers direct services to both Bicester North and Bicester Village, with travel times as short as 42-53 minutes. For those travelling from Birmingham, Chiltern Railways operates direct routes from Birmingham Snow Hill to Bicester North, typically taking just over an hour.
For the best fares to Bicester, book your train tickets in advance and consider travelling during Off-Peak hours (outside Monday-Friday rush hours and anytime on weekends). Peak times, generally 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM on weekdays, can be busier and more expensive. You can book train tickets via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.

For learner drivers heading to Bicester for their intensive driving course, public transport offers convenient access.

For optimal travel to Bicester, aim for off-peak hours, typically between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays, to avoid heavy traffic and crowded services. Avoid the morning rush (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM) and evening peak (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) when travelling to Bicester, as buses can be significantly delayed. For bus tickets to Bicester, you can purchase them directly from the bus driver or explore options on Stagecoach Bus or Arriva UK Bus.

With a clear plan, local expertise, and nothing for you to coordinate, getting test-ready can happen in as little as one week.
We only work with DVSA-registered instructors who know the local area inside-out - including the roads you’ll most likely face on test day.
Once matched, your instructor can arrange pickups from home, school or work - whatever’s easiest for you. One less thing to think about.

Choose a male or female instructor you’ll feel comfortable with

Evening and weekend lessons available for tight schedules
Looking to learn to drive in Bicester? Whether you prefer automatic or manual, there are plenty of flexible lesson options available.
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.
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.
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:
3. Learn the Basic Car Controls
Your instructor will show you the key controls, including:
4. Practice Moving Off and Stopping
You’ll start with the basics:
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.
Intensive Driving Course Delivery
Flexible Lesson Scheduling
Your intensive driving lessons will usually run on weekday mornings and afternoons - we’ll work with your availability as closely as possible. For larger courses, they typically stretch beyond one week depending on your instructor’s schedule.
Tailored Learning Experience
Whether you're confident or nervous, we’ll match you with an instructor who gets it. They’ll personalise the experience to help you get the most from every hour behind the wheel.
Pass First Time Confidence
While no one can guarantee a pass, we partner with instructors who know how to build your confidence and sharpen your skills - giving you the best shot at success on the day.
“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.”

Every review tells the same story: supportive instructors who show up, build confidence, and get results.
Liz is a dedicated and loving driving instructor who pays attention to every single detail. Before I joined her classes, I used to be frighten by driving in the UK having come from a country with left hand drive. Liz neutralized that feeling and made driving so easy for me and I passed my test at one go.
Overall experience was the feeling of being with my mum at every encounter with her.
God bless you great teacher
I was nervous due to the fact I had a previous driving instructor and I ended up developing anxiety about driving because i felt so much pressure. Working with Simon lifted a weight off my shoulder and I became confident behind the wheel. I ended up passing first time I couldn’t be more happy and would recommend him to any other students that are like me.
I learned with Sergiu. He is patient and very helpful instructor. Passed first time.

Bicester, an Oxfordshire market town, was first settled by Anglo-Saxons around 600 AD, not Romans as its name might suggest. Interestingly, the Augustinian Priory, founded in 1183, housed the shrine of St. Edburg, a Saxon saint, attracting many pilgrims. Today, Bicester is one of Oxfordshire’s fastest-growing towns.
Intensive driving courses in Bicester with Rated Driving will prepare you for a variety of local conditions. You’ll gain experience navigating the town’s roads, including areas that can experience congestion like around the new Bicester Village retail area. Lessons will also cover different speed limits, from 20 mph to 70 mph, and common features such as roundabouts, lanes, and pedestrian crossings.
While there isn’t a driving test centre directly in Bicester, learners typically take their practical test in nearby towns. The closest options are Banbury and Oxford.
