⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 Marlborough for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
Welcome to Marlborough for your intensive driving course! While Marlborough doesn’t have its own train station, reaching this historic market town by public transport is straightforward. Your primary destination by rail will be Swindon, a major hub. Great Western Railway (GWR) operates frequent services to Swindon from across the network. For example, if you’re coming from London, direct GWR trains run from London Paddington to Swindon. From Bristol, GWR also offers services to Swindon.
Once at Swindon, you’ll need to take a bus to Marlborough. Swindon’s Bus Company operates services, including the number X5, which connects Swindon to Marlborough via various stops. The journey from Swindon to Marlborough by bus typically takes around 30-40 minutes.
For optimal travel to Marlborough, aim for off-peak train times, generally outside of weekday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM). Weekends often offer more relaxed travel to Marlborough. Booking your train tickets in advance can also secure better fares. You can book train tickets via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.

Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Marlborough for an intensive driving course, navigating public transport is straightforward. From Swindon, the Salisbury Reds X5 service offers a direct route to Marlborough, stopping at North View Place or the Bus Station. The journey takes approximately 20-35 minutes. Swindon’s Bus Company also operates the 48 service to Marlborough via Liddington, Aldbourne, Ramsbury, and Hungerford.
If you’re travelling from Hungerford, direct bus services to Marlborough are available, with Salisbury Reds and Swindons Bus Company operating routes like the 110/120 and 620, stopping at Ladbrokes or Marlborough High Street. These direct services typically take around 33-41 minutes. From Andover, bus services to Marlborough require a transfer, often at Tesco Superstore, and the journey can take around 1 hour 18 minutes to 2 hours 3 minutes.
For optimal travel to Marlborough, aim for off-peak hours to avoid potential traffic congestion. Early mornings or late mornings are generally best. Avoid peak commuter times, typically 7 AM – 10 AM and 4 PM – 7 PM on weekdays, when buses to Marlborough may be busier.
You can book bus tickets through operators like Salisbury Reds or Swindon’s Bus Company, or via platforms such as Trainline or Arriva UK Bus.

Where to Start?
Looking to learn to drive in Marlborough? 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 Marlborough - And Pass With Confidence
Master Marlborough’s Roads with an Intensive Driving Course
Are you eager to gain your independence and navigate the charming streets of Marlborough with confidence? An intensive driving course with Rated Driving could be your fast track to success. Marlborough, a historic market town in Wiltshire, offers an ideal setting for focused driving tuition, combining varied road conditions with a relaxed atmosphere that can significantly benefit new drivers.
Opting for an intensive driving course in Marlborough provides numerous advantages. Instead of stretching lessons over many months, you condense your learning into a shorter, more concentrated period. This approach helps to build muscle memory and retain information more effectively, as you’re constantly engaged with the driving process. Imagine mastering roundabouts and junctions on roads like the bustling High Street or the quieter residential areas such as Hyde Lane, Back Lane, and Cross Lane, where 20mph limits have recently been introduced to enhance safety. You’ll also gain valuable experience on routes that might lead to the nearby practical test centres, ensuring you’re well-prepared for any scenario.
Beyond the practicalities of learning to drive, Marlborough itself provides a delightful backdrop for your intensive course. After a productive driving session, you can unwind and explore some of the town’s notable attractions. Take a stroll through the historic town centre, admiring the architecture of the Merchant’s House, a beautifully recreated 17th-century silk merchant’s home. Or perhaps enjoy the fresh air around the iconic Marlborough White Horse, carved into the hillside of Granham Hill. These local landmarks offer a perfect way to decompress and appreciate the unique character of Marlborough.
When it comes to taking your practical driving test, the nearest centre to Marlborough is the Chippenham Driving Test Centre, located at Unit 11 Cavalier Court, Bumpers Farm, Chippenham, SN14 6LH. Your Rated Driving instructor will ensure you are familiar with the types of roads and potential challenges you might encounter in the Chippenham area, including busy roads and various roundabouts, particularly on the A350. For your theory test, the closest facility is the Swindon Theory Test Centre, situated at Pearson Professional Centre South Suite, Ambrose House, 30-33 Milton Road, Swindon, SN1 5JA. This centre is conveniently located near The Brunel Shopping Centre and is easily accessible.

Dedicated and goal oriented driving instructor who has a passion in his job

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.
