⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 Ipswich for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to Ipswich for an intensive driving course, accessing Ipswich by train from nearby towns and villages is straightforward. Greater Anglia operates frequent services into Ipswich.
From Stowmarket, direct Greater Anglia trains reach Ipswich in as little as 10-11 minutes, with services every 30 minutes on weekdays. Similarly, from Manningtree, direct Greater Anglia trains take approximately 10 minutes to Ipswich, running every 30 minutes. If you’re coming from Felixstowe, direct Greater Anglia trains to Ipswich take around 25 minutes and run hourly. From Needham Market, direct Greater Anglia services arrive in Ipswich in about 10-12 minutes, typically hourly. Woodbridge also offers direct Greater Anglia trains to Ipswich, with journeys taking approximately 16-18 minutes hourly.
For the best fares to Ipswich, aim to travel during Off-Peak hours, generally outside Monday-Friday rush hours (before 06:30, between 09:30 and 16:00, and after 19:00). Weekends and bank holidays are typically Off-Peak all day. Avoid peak times, usually 06:30-09:30 and 16:00-19:00 on weekdays, as tickets are more expensive and trains to Ipswich will be busier. You can book train tickets via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.
Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Ipswich for their intensive driving course, navigating public transport into Ipswich is straightforward. Ipswich is well-served by local bus operators, primarily Ipswich Buses and First Norfolk & Suffolk, with services from surrounding towns and villages.
From Stowmarket, the First Norfolk & Suffolk route 88 bus offers a direct service into Ipswich, typically arriving at the Old Cattle Market Bus Station. This journey takes approximately 40-60 minutes. For those travelling from Felixstowe, Ipswich is easily accessible via First Eastern Counties routes 73, 75, and 77, with buses running frequently, often every 10-20 minutes, and taking around 40-45 minutes to reach Ipswich. The 75 service goes into Ipswich via Heath Road Hospital. From Colchester, National Express operates services to Ipswich, with some direct buses available. Ipswich Buses also runs a route 93 from Colchester Town Centre to Ipswich. For those coming from the Shotley peninsula, Ipswich Buses routes 97 and 98 connect Shotley to Ipswich, with the 97 service running via Chelmondiston and Woolverstone, and the 98 via Holbrook. The 97 bus from Shotley to Ipswich takes about 21 minutes.
When planning your journey to Ipswich, aim to travel outside of typical peak hours (7 AM – 9 AM and 4 PM – 6 PM on weekdays) to avoid potential traffic delays and busier services into Ipswich. For bus tickets, you can often purchase them directly from the bus operator, or consider using the Ipswich Buses mobile app for convenient ticket purchases and real-time departure information for Ipswich services. A PlusBus ticket can also be a good option for unlimited bus travel within Ipswich when bought with a train ticket. You can also explore bus ticket options on redBus or Busbud.

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

Ipswich, with its diverse road network and accessible test centres, provides an ideal environment for focused learning.
One of the primary benefits of taking an intensive driving course in Ipswich is the speed at which you can achieve your goal. Instead of spreading lessons over many months, these courses condense your learning into a shorter, more concentrated period, allowing for better retention of skills and knowledge.

You’ll gain experience navigating the bustling town centre, tackling challenging roundabouts, and mastering quieter residential streets. Specific roads like the A14 and A1156 (Felixstowe Road) will provide opportunities to practice higher-speed driving and complex junctions, while areas like Ravenswood offer tighter 20 mph grids for precision driving and manoeuvres. Practicing on these local roads, which often feature on test routes, will build your confidence and familiarity, preparing you thoroughly for your practical test.
Beyond the driving, Ipswich boasts a wealth of attractions where you can unwind after a productive lesson. Imagine celebrating your progress with a stroll through the beautiful Christchurch Park, a 70-acre expanse of rolling lawns and wooded areas. You could also explore the rich history at the Ipswich Museum or enjoy the vibrant arts scene at New Wolsey Theatre. For a breath of fresh air, Holywells Park offers 67 acres of public parkland to relax in. These local landmarks make Ipswich an appealing place to undertake your intensive driving journey.

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.
