Driving Lessons

PORTONIAN offer a new and exciting way to learn to drive where the training is carefully planned, expertly delivered and combined with modern training resources and modern vehicles to ensure that your training is both effective and enjoyable. Before you can start your driving lessons you need to have a provisional driving licence. Therefore, if you do not have one, you will need to apply for one from the DVLA (click here). You can apply for your provisional car driving licence up to three months before your seventeenth birthday. Provided you have a valid provisional driving licence you can start your driving lessons before you take your theory test. Combining your theory study with your driving lessons gives the added advantage of being able to consult your instructor on various matters relating to the theory test and your theory study, (remember, we also offer evening & weekend theory study classes, ask for details). There is one simple secret to our continued success, and that is to inject fun into your driving lessons. If you don’t enjoy something, you won’t do it, and you will have little enthusiasm to continue with it in the future. That is why PORTONIAN strive to make every lesson fun and informative. Research has shown that people learn much quicker (this means you save money) if the learner understands exactly what the aims and objectives of the lesson are, it is for this reason that all PORTONIAN instructors follow the syllabus laid out by the Driving Standards Agency to pass the driving test.

Just to say a big thanks from me for making it easy for me to pass my driving test. Who would have thought that I could be driving my own car so soon, thanks again – Robert from Armadale

After losing my licence some years ago, I never thought that I would find someone that would not be judgemental about my previous driving experience. Thank you Raymond for giving me the time and encouragement to succeed once again. – Scott from Falkirk

What a great driving school to learn with. I took the under 17’s course which was great for preparing me for the main roads. You have great instructors who really helped me whilst I was learning to drive. Thanks for all your help.  Robbie from Armadale
