⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 Isle of Sheppey for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to the Isle of Sheppey for an intensive driving course, public transport connections primarily route through Sittingbourne. Southeastern trains operate services to the Isle of Sheppey, specifically to stations like Sheerness-on-Sea, Queenborough, and Swale.
From London, you can take a Southeastern train from London St Pancras International or London Victoria to Sittingbourne. From Sittingbourne, Southeastern runs frequent services to Sheerness-on-Sea and Queenborough, typically two trains per hour during off-peak times. The journey from Sittingbourne to Sheerness-on-Sea takes approximately 18 minutes.
If you’re coming from other towns in Kent, you’ll generally need to connect via Sittingbourne. For example, from Gillingham, you can take a train to Sittingbourne and then change for the Isle of Sheppey.
For the best travel experience to the Isle of Sheppey, aim for off-peak hours, generally outside of weekday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM). Travelling during these peak times can mean busier trains. You can book train tickets via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.

Travelling by Bus
For your intensive driving course on the Isle of Sheppey, public transport is a viable option from nearby towns. From Sittingbourne, a key connection point, you can take the Chalkwell Coaches bus route 334 from Morrisons directly to Millennium Way on the Isle of Sheppey, with services operating hourly Monday to Saturday. This journey typically takes around 43 minutes. Alternatively, Arriva operates several routes across the Isle of Sheppey, including the 360 from Leysdown to Sheerness, and the 370 series (e.g., 370D, 370F, 370L) connecting various parts of the Isle of Sheppey with Sittingbourne. Stagecoach also provides services in the wider Kent area, including routes around Sittingbourne that can connect you towards the Isle of Sheppey.
To avoid significant congestion on the Isle of Sheppey, particularly on the A249 and A2500, it’s best to travel outside of morning and evening peak hours (AM and PM), and be aware that Friday afternoons, Saturdays, and Sundays can also experience delays due to tourism.
For bus tickets and journey planning for your trip to the Isle of Sheppey, you can use the Arriva UK Bus app or website, or the Stagecoach Bus journey planner. You can also explore the Kent Connected website or app for live bus and train times.

Where to Start?
Looking to learn to drive in Isle of Sheppey? 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 in Isle of Sheppey - And Pass With Confidence
Learning to drive in the Isle of Sheppey offers a unique experience with its diverse road conditions and coastal setting. Rated Driving Instructors provide comprehensive intensive driving courses that help you master the varied terrain of this distinctive Kent island.
The Isle of Sheppey’s mix of urban and rural roads creates an ideal learning environment. You’ll practice on the A249 Sheppey Crossing, which connects the island to mainland Kent, building confidence with bridge driving and higher-speed roads. The quieter residential areas around Minster and Sheerness provide perfect conditions for mastering manoeuvres and basic control skills.
Learners benefit from practicing on the B2231 through Sheerness town centre, experiencing busy shopping areas and pedestrian crossings. The winding coastal roads near Minster Beach offer excellent opportunities to develop hazard perception and speed control skills, while the industrial areas around Sheerness Port help you navigate larger vehicles and complex junctions.
The Queenborough area provides an excellent mix of challenging roundabouts and residential streets, perfect for perfecting your road positioning and observation skills. After your lessons, you can unwind at the historic Sheerness Beach, reflecting on your progress while enjoying the sea views.
For your theory test, you’ll need to visit the Sittingbourne Theory Test Centre, conveniently located on the mainland. The practical driving test can be taken at the Sittingbourne Driving Test Centre, where you’ll demonstrate the skills you’ve developed during your intensive course.
The Isle of Sheppey’s relatively quiet roads outside peak times make it an excellent choice for intensive driving courses. You’ll encounter fewer traffic delays compared to mainland locations, maximising your learning time.

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.
