Mock test: Great Experience with Shift driving school!
I had a driving test scheduled and was looking for a mock test to check my preparedness for it! Reached out to shift driving school and they were kind enough to accomodate my request and book me a slot before my test.

Recently had my first lesson with Alex
Recently had my first lesson with Alex at shift and was made to feel very comfortable. After several other instructors he made me feel at ease with my nerves and spoke me through what we’d be doing and boosted my confidence, can’t thank him enough and hope to be passed soon with his teaching

Thanks to Kelli!
Thanks to Kelli’s expertise, teaching and support, I passed my driving test today on my first attempt! I cannot recommend her and Shift Driving School highly enough to anyone looking to learn to drive confidently and efficiently.

Kirsty ClarkLearner Driver - June '24

Old and anxious learner
As a slightly older (29) and very anxious learner, I thought I had missed my chance to learn to drive. But Lewis built me from the bottom up in both skills and confidence. He never made me feel nervous or stressed, and I had complete trust in him. I couldn't recommend him more or shift more.

Shift driving school is amazing!
Shift driving school is amazing! Really engaging with the students, reassuring and you can tell all of the instructors want the students to pass with confidence in their own driving.

Would recommended to anyone learning to drive or wanting to learn.

Just passed first time having done 22 hours of lessons with Lewis in 2 weeks.
Just passed first time having done 22 hours of lessons with Lewis in 2 weeks. Lewis was a great instructor, every lesson we would talk about my progress, areas to return to and further practice as I wanted to take the test within a short window. Lewis makes you feel at ease and so lovely and friendly. Exactly what you want from an instructor. Would highly recommend. Great result, thank you so much.

How many lessons will I need?

The number of lessons you’ll need will depend on your individual circumstances and how quickly you learn. On average, it takes around 40-50 hours of driving lessons to pass the test, but some people may need more or less depending on their previous experience, confidence level, and ability to learn.

Do you have female instructors?

Yes, we do have female instructors available. When you book your driving lessons, you can request a female instructor if you prefer.

Do you teach test routes?

Your instructor will show you some popular test routes, but they won’t necessarily be the exact routes. Our theory is, when you have finished your training with Shift, you should be able to drive on any road in the United Kingdom. This isn’t to say that your instructor won’t show you any complex roundabouts or hazards in the area though.

Is there a long wait for driving lessons?

We do our best to accommodate all our students’ needs and offer flexible scheduling. However, availability may vary depending on the location and the time of year.

What other areas do you cover?

At the moment we provide driving lessons in Newcastle, Gateshead and surrounding areas. Additionally, we are actively seeking instructors in other areas. Do you know someone who has what it takes? Click here to visit our become a driving instructor page.
