It’s hard to believe that a year has flown by since we first opened our doors to eager learners and enthusiastic drivers!

🎈🎂 Today is our birthday, and what a journey it has been so far!

In one year our local driving school has:

🚗 Delivered over 3,000 hours of driving lessons

🪪 Helped 41 pupils pass their driving test

🛣️ Logged countless miles on the road

💻 Welcomed over 1,800 visitors to our website

⏳ Built up a database of over 300 pupils on our waiting list

🎁 Gave away 20 hours worth of FREE driving lessons in competitions

👨‍🏫 Grown our team of instructors from 1 to 3 with a further 2 in training.

None of this would have ever been possible without the incredible support of our learners, instructors, suppliers and friends in the industry. Thank you for believing in us and helping us grow!

As we celebrate this baby milestone, we’re also looking ahead to the future. The next 12 months are full of exciting possibilities, and we can’t wait to see where the road takes us. Whether you’re a learner looking to join our driving school or an instructor interested in joining our franchise, we invite you to be a part of our journey.

Thanks,

Team Shift

Cannot recommend this driving school and Simon enough. Simon is extremely patient and kind, very adaptive in his teaching style to help suit the student. I never thought I would be able to drive as a nervous driver, let alone pass my test but he has helped me feel confident and capable. He goes above and beyond the job and really cares about his students. The app is also really helpful and detailed to keep you organised and get you test ready. I am genuinely going to miss my lessons as I passed today! Thank you so much Simon and the shift team!

Highly recommend Shift Driving School. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Special shout out to my instructor Hassan, who taught me from scratch in just under 6 months. I had no previous driving experience at all and he talked through the steps and skills needed clearly, always supportively pushing me to be my best. Delighted to have passed at first attempt! Couldn’t have done it without the team at Swift and Hassan. Thank you!

I recently passed my driving test and my instructor Simon, was thorough, and tailored the lessons to improve where I lack.
The mock test is a must as it gave me an indicator if I should proceed or postpone my test.
Overall, reliable, thorough and reasonable driving school.

What a great company to not only learn to drive with, but to actually work with too. We would highly recommend Shift without a doubt.

I had driving lessons with Lisa and passed my driving exam with only one minor. She is very patient and knowledgeable about driving safety and the surrounding area. I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone considering taking driving lessons. Thank you Lisa for all of your help!

I used to find driving lessons stressful and boring, and my previous instructors (at other schools) were totally unreliable - messaging at short notice to cancel lessons. This made me hate driving all together...

Simon at SHIFT is the total opposite. He’s calm, consistent, and easy to get along with, which made a massive difference in my driving. I never thought I’d say this, but I actually enjoyed the process this time around.

Not once has Simon let me down - even working his days off to ensure I got across the line!

Passing first time with only 1 driver fault was the icing on the cake - even the examiner on test day mentioned the number of high quality students that Simon produces!

Cheers, Simon!

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with my instructor, Simon Houghton. He helped me overcome my fear of the road with his calm, patient approach and never made me feel rushed. He tracked my progress carefully, helped me understand complex situations, and corrected my mistakes in a way that actually built my confidence. Thanks to him, my driving skills improved massively. A great experience with Shift Driving School. Highly recommended.
