⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

Public Transport Guidance
Getting to Brighton for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For your intensive driving course in Brighton, arriving by public transport is straightforward and avoids city centre traffic. If you’re coming from towns along the South Coast or Kent, Southern Railway services offer direct routes to Brighton. For example, trains from Portsmouth and Southampton frequently connect to Brighton. From London, both Southern and Thameslink services run regularly to Brighton. Southern trains depart from London Victoria, while Thameslink services connect Brighton to London Bridge, St Pancras International, and other central London stations.
To ensure a smooth journey to Brighton, aim for Off-Peak travel. These times are generally outside weekday rush hours (typically before 7:00 AM, between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, and after 7:00 PM) and all day on weekends and bank holidays. Avoiding peak hours, usually 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM on weekdays, will mean quieter trains and potentially cheaper fares for your trip to Brighton. You can book your train tickets in advance via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.

Travelling by Bus
For your intensive driving course in Brighton, public transport offers excellent connectivity. From Worthing, the Stagecoach Coastliner 700 bus provides frequent direct services to Brighton, stopping at locations like Marine Parade and Norfolk Square. The journey typically takes around 45 minutes. From Shoreham-by-Sea, the Stagecoach Coastliner 700 also runs directly to Brighton, with stops including Duke of Wellington and Portland Street, taking about 30-35 minutes. If you’re coming from Peacehaven, the Brighton & Hove Buses’ Coaster 12, 12A, 14, and 14A routes offer direct access to Brighton, stopping at Old Steine. These services from Peacehaven can take as little as 24 minutes. For those travelling from Lewes, the Brighton & Hove Buses’ Regency Routes 28 and 29 connect directly to Brighton, with stops at Lewes High Street and Brighton Station.
To avoid traffic congestion in Brighton, aim to travel outside of weekday peak hours, generally 7 AM – 10 AM and 4 PM – 7 PM. Early mornings or late mornings are often best for a smoother journey into Brighton. You can purchase bus tickets directly from the bus operator, or consider a PlusBus ticket if arriving by train for unlimited bus travel within Brighton. For bus ticket booking, explore options on Omio, Busbud, or redBus.

Where to Start?
Looking to learn to drive in Brighton? 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.”
