⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 Colyton for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to Colyton for their intensive driving course, public transport is readily available. Colyton does not have an active railway station for mainline services; the former Colyton railway station now serves as a tram stop for the Seaton Tramway.
The most convenient train station to reach Colyton is Axminster. South Western Railway operates services to Axminster from London Waterloo and Exeter St Davids. From Axminster, you can take the 885 bus service directly to Colyton. This bus journey to Colyton takes approximately 14 minutes.
Alternatively, if you’re coming from Honiton, Stagecoach South West operates bus services (like the 20 or X30) to Colyton, with the journey taking around 30 minutes. From Exeter, direct bus services (e.g., Stagecoach X30) to Colyton are also available, taking about 1 hour and 7 minutes.
For optimal travel to Colyton, aim for off-peak hours, typically outside of weekday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM). Buses to Colyton generally run frequently during the day. You can book train tickets via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.

Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Colyton for an intensive driving course, public transport is a viable option. From nearby Seaton, the Axe Valley Mini-Travel (AVMT) 885 bus service runs hourly to Colyton, taking approximately 10 minutes from Sea Front to Gribblemead. Stagecoach South West also services this route every two hours. If you’re coming from Axminster, the AVMT 885 bus also connects to Colyton. From Honiton, Stagecoach South West operates a bus service to Colyton, departing from Mill Street and arriving at Umborne Bridge, with a journey time of around 30 minutes.
To ensure a smooth journey to Colyton, aim to travel outside of typical weekday peak hours, which are generally 7 AM to 9 AM and 4 PM to 6:30 PM, when roads experience higher congestion. For bus tickets, you can often purchase them directly from the bus operator. You can also explore options on Trainline.

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

Master the Roads of Colyton with an Intensive Driving Course
Dreaming of gaining your driving independence in the charming East Devon town of Colyton? An intensive driving course could be your fast track to success, and with Rated Driving, you’ll be navigating the local roads with confidence in no time. Colyton, with its unique blend of historic streets and surrounding rural routes, offers an ideal environment for focused and effective driving tuition.
Opting for an intensive driving course in Colyton provides numerous benefits. The concentrated nature of these courses means you can absorb information and build skills rapidly, often leading to a quicker test readiness compared to traditional weekly lessons. This is particularly convenient for those with busy schedules, as you can dedicate a shorter, focused period to learning. Furthermore, learning in Colyton allows you to become intimately familiar with the local driving conditions. You’ll gain valuable experience on the narrower, winding lanes characteristic of the area, such as those found around Dolphin Street, as well as navigating the slightly busier thoroughfares leading out of Colyton towards nearby towns like Seaton and Axminster. Practicing on these diverse road types, from quiet residential streets to more open country roads, will equip you with the versatility needed for a lifetime of safe driving.
Beyond the practicalities of learning, Colyton offers a delightful backdrop for your intensive driving journey. Imagine taking a break from your lessons and unwinding by exploring the historic St Andrew’s Church, with its distinctive octagonal lantern tower visible across the town. Or perhaps you’d enjoy a scenic ride on the Seaton Tramway from Colyton Station, offering stunning views of the Axe Valley Wetlands. These local attractions provide perfect opportunities to relax and recharge between your intensive driving sessions, making the entire learning experience more enjoyable.
When it comes to your practical driving test, the nearest centre to Colyton is the Exeter Driving Test Centre, located in Marsh Barton, Exeter. Your Rated Driving instructor will ensure you are well-prepared for the types of roads and junctions you might encounter in and around the test centre area, including the 50 mph Alphington bypass and the Countess Wear A379 roundabout. For your theory test, the closest options are the Exeter Theory Test Centre at Beaufort House on New North Road or the Axminster Theory Test Centre on Church Street, Axminster. Both are accessible from Colyton, and your intensive course will help you prepare thoroughly for this crucial first step.

Dedicated and goal oriented driving instructor who has a passion in his job. Sergiu is patient and gives you confidence behind the wheel. He doesn’t only teach you how to pass the test but he also teaches you how to be a safe and confident driver on the road . Keep up the good work Sergiu.
Sergiu however, is a phenomenal instructor
16/07/2024
People say that a certain percentage of the human population is not able and suited for driving. I always thought that this was true and about me. Sergiu however, is a phenomenal instructor and under his tuition I was able to become a careful and considerate driver, who passed her practical driving exam from the first go. Sergiu understood my limitations and with lots of written material and practical repetition we were able to achieve the impossible. I strongly recommend Sergiu to anyone struggling with driving and to those who don’t struggle with it at all. He is not expensive and great value for money too.
Sergiu is absolutely brilliant at his job!
16/07/2024
Sergiu is absolutely brilliant at his job! He helped my friend Sofia from Cambridge to Pass her driving test first time. Sergiu is very experienced and passionate about his job. Extremely efficient and straight to the point, fixing issues and carefully building his knowledge and skills. My other friend Toma had refresher lessons with Sergiu and build up his confidence on the motorway and I now feel very comfortable with Toma in the car. On behalf of Sofia and Toma, Sergiu is the best Instructor they ever had. I absolutely recommend him.
