⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”
- 🗓️ Passed in just 5 weeks – with 1 minor
- 📍 Hadn’t driven in 8 years before starting

Public Transport Guidance
Getting to Highworth for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to Highworth for an intensive driving course, public transport primarily funnels through Swindon. Highworth does not have a train station, so your journey will involve a bus connection from Swindon.
If you’re arriving by train, your destination will be Swindon Station. From there, the most direct route into Highworth is by bus. Stagecoach West operates the number 7 bus service, which runs frequently from Swindon Bus Station (Bay 11 or Fleming Way) directly to Highworth, stopping at locations like Swindon Street and Brewery Street in Highworth. The journey typically takes around 32-36 minutes. Pulhams Coaches also offers a less frequent service, the 64 bus, from Armstrong Street near Swindon Station to Highworth.
For optimal travel to Highworth, aim for off-peak bus times to avoid congestion, generally outside weekday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM). Buses run every 15-30 minutes during the day. You can book train tickets to Swindon via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.

Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Highworth for their intensive driving course, public transport offers convenient access. From Swindon, the Stagecoach West number 7 bus provides a direct service to Highworth, stopping at Swindon Street. This route runs frequently, approximately every 15 minutes, and takes about 32 minutes. Pulhams Coaches also operates services on this route, though less frequently.
If you’re travelling to Highworth from Shrivenham or Watchfield, you’ll typically need to transfer. Stagecoach West services from Shrivenham (e.g., S6 from The Green) require a transfer, often at Corporation Street, before connecting to a bus for Highworth. The journey from Shrivenham to Highworth can take around 1 hour and 1 minute. From Watchfield, take the S6 bus from Northford Hill and transfer at Corporation Street for Highworth. This journey takes approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes.
For those coming from Fairford or Lechlade, Stagecoach West’s 77 bus service offers a direct route to Highworth, arriving at Swindon Street. The journey from Fairford to Highworth takes about 34 minutes. From Lechlade, the bus journey to Highworth is around 15 minutes. Pulhams Coaches also serves the Lechlade to Highworth route.
To avoid traffic and peak hours, aim to travel outside of typical weekday rush hours (e.g., 7 AM – 9 AM and 4 PM – 6 PM). Bus services to Highworth are generally frequent throughout the day.
For bus tickets and further timetable information for your journey to Highworth, you can check the Stagecoach Bus App or their website, and also consider Rome2Rio for route planning.

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

Dedication personified
17/08/2024
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
Passed first time!
11/08/2024
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.
Patient and very helpful instructor
