⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 Torpoint for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For your intensive driving course in Torpoint, public transport connections primarily involve reaching Plymouth first, then taking a bus or ferry to Torpoint. If you’re travelling from further afield, Great Western Railway (GWR) services frequently arrive at Plymouth. From Plymouth, you can catch the Go Cornwall Bus service 70, 70A, 70B, or 75 directly to Torpoint. These services run hourly. Alternatively, the Torpoint Ferry offers a scenic route for foot passengers from Devonport to Torpoint, with frequent departures.
For optimal travel to Torpoint, aim for off-peak hours, generally outside weekday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM) and anytime on weekends, to avoid busier services. You can book train tickets via Trainline or CrossCountry.

Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Torpoint for their intensive driving course, public transport offers convenient access. From Plymouth, the Go Cornwall Bus service 70, 70A, or 70B provides a direct route to Torpoint, with stops like Royal Parade in Plymouth City Centre and Antony Road Sainsburys in Torpoint. This journey typically takes around 37 minutes.
If you’re travelling from Liskeard, the Go Cornwall Bus route 75 offers a direct service to Torpoint, stopping at Cornwall Council Offices and Antony Road Sainsburys. Buses run approximately every two hours, with the journey lasting about 1 hour and 6 minutes.
From Saltash, there isn’t a direct bus to Torpoint. You would typically take a bus like the Stagecoach South West service 2 from Castlemead Drive to Derrys Cross in Plymouth, then transfer to a Go Cornwall Bus service (e.g., 34) to Torpoint Ferry. This multi-leg journey to Torpoint takes approximately 1 hour and 9 minutes.
For optimal travel to Torpoint, aim for off-peak hours to avoid potential traffic delays, especially during weekday mornings (7 AM – 10 AM) and evenings (4 PM – 7 PM).

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

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.

Fun Fact About Torpoint
Torpoint, a planned town founded in the 18th century, was designed with a grid of streets by Reginald Pole Carew in 1774. It became vital due to its ferry link to Plymouth, with the first chain ferry introduced in 1831 by James Meadows Rendel, a design still in use today. A lesser-known fact: two World War II prefabricated houses, intended as temporary housing, still stand as the clubhouse for Torpoint Bowling Club. Torpoint
