James H2024-01-17Ben was on hand to give me a series of refresher lessons after I had been out of practice with driving since the pandemic. I can't speak highly enough of Ben's ability to simplify driving techniques and help build up confidence not to mention his friendly approach. I would recommend SDL to both new learners and those looking to get behind the wheel after a while.Jaden Williams2023-12-28Absolutely Flawless work from paul, hes keen to get you passed no matter what, His expertise and levels of patience are like no other. he truly does everything for your best interest. His main priority is keeping you safe and most importantly he teaches you how to “drive” i couldn’t recommend his service enough. if you want quick, easy and stress free lessons SDL IS FOR YOU!Luke Allen2023-12-20As a new pass,I found my experience with SDL and my instructor Ben,to be a really positive one. I had struggled as a mature learner to secure a driving instructor with my busy schedule,but Ben and SDL were happy to accommodate my working hours.5 stars for that alone and as for the lessons,Ben made me feel comfortable and enthusiastic about my learning and was brilliant at being patient with me,building my confidence and addressing any of my shortcomings in a polite,friendly and professional manner. All in all,top marks for Ben and SDL and I can't thank them enough for getting me on the road. Cheers Ben :)Liam Birch2023-12-14Ben was a great instructor to learn from, went through everything clearly and efficiently and knew how to teach effectively. SDL is a great choice for learners and I highly recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️rosie mae2023-12-13Ben was a great driving instructor, he is patient, gives great clear instructions and is a lot of fun to learn with. Before I started driving lessons I was unsure of what to expect with an instructor, thinking it may be awkward or I might get someone really harsh, but it was the complete opposite with Ben, we had a good laugh in lessons while still learning and making progress every lesson. I highly recommend him and SDL! Passed first try with an average amount of lesson hours ⭐️Sharon Clarke2023-12-07Could not recommend Ben highly enough, such a friendly and patient instructor. My daughter will miss her lessons with him. She has throughly enjoyed her driving journey with Ben, calming her nerves and supporting her every step of the way.Maysoon Abukhdeir2023-11-29If I could give Paul 5 million stars I would. Paul is absolutely brilliant and the best instructor you could have in Shrewsbury. His teaching methods have made me such a safe and confident driver. As an automatic driver of 10+ years, learning manual was extremely difficult for me. Paul was so patient and addressed all of my fears and helped me unlearn bad habits until I felt safe and confident. Very very highly recommended!!!Carla Davies2023-11-29Been driving with Michael and just passed my test honestly was a great instructor had patience when I felt unsure about things and reassured me with anything that went wrong. After failing first time he was quick to get me back into lessons and booking another test assuring me that I was ready and todays proved him right.

“I decided to take an intensive course because I wanted to pass my driving test as soon as possible. Paul was a brilliant teacher and helped me learn everything in a way that was good for me.

I would recommend him to anyone that wanted to learn to drive. I was really happy when I passed my driving test first time, thank you Paul!”

We’d be delighted to answer your questions on an initial free & no obligation call.
Here are some FAQ’s to start with
How many lessons do I need to pass my test?
On average, learner drivers tend to require between 40 and 60 hours behind the wheel – a mixture of being with a professional driving instructor and private practice. However, each student is different and will learn at their own pace. We will tailor your lessons to you, ensuring that you become confident behind the wheel and feel ready to take your test as soon as possible.
How long do lessons last?
Standard lessons are either for 1 hour or 1.5 hours, starting from your home, workplace or other agreed pickup place. Many students feel that 1 hour is too short and 2 hours is too long, while the 1.5 hour sessions provide the right balance for the best learning experience. The only requirement before learning to drive with a driving school is to acquire a provisional licence. You can apply online or pick up a form from your local Post Office.
How often should I have lessons?
It is important to have lessons on a regular basis in order to build up your driving skills and confidence while maintaining the skills you are learning. It is best to have lessons at least once a week, and many students prefer to have two or three lessons each week. If you are interested in learning to drive as quickly as possible, we offer intensive driving courses.
What happens if I need to cancel my lesson?
Please note, you will be charged for the lesson if a cancellation is made within 48 hours of the lesson start time, as there is not enough time to fill the space left by your late cancellation.
Do I need to have passed my Theory Test before I start my driving lessons?
No, you don’t need to pass before you drive. It’s a good thing to do this as you learn so what you read about you can see out on the road while you have your lessons
Are the lessons in a manual or automatic car?
All our vehicles have a manual gearbox, we do not provide automatic driver training.
