A++ Passed forst Time with Dee at Rookie

I cannot praise Dee enough. I came to her after failing a test and getting nowhere with a previous instructor. I passed 1st time with Dee. She has the patience of a saint and great teaching ethics. I can’t wait to start driving safely. Passing is the best xmas pressie ever, thanks Dee x

Dee, youre a star

Just passed my test first time!! I can’t quite believe it yet but I would like to say a huge thanks to Denise for the first class tuition she gave. She creates a calm atmosphere for your lessons and gives you the best possible help to not only get you through your test but also drive in the real world. Kelly also took me for a couple of lessons and I would like that say thanks as the tuition she gave was also first class. I would recommend this driving school to anyone!! Cheers Dee! :)

Cheers Cath

I just passed my test thanks to amazing Cath! I’ve had 3 instructors before her and all of them either ran away from me or didnt really bother teaching me to drive properly. Cath is a perfect teacher as well as a lovely person. She was very flexible with timing and location. I enjoyed all my lessons with her and will actually miss her loads :( definitely will recommend RSOM to everyone! xx

Highly recommeded

Kelly was my 4th driving instructor but by far the best. I used to get extremely nervous, especially during tests and used to make stupid mistakes because of it. Kelly helped me to overcome my nerves and build my confidence – doing two mock tests with another Rookie instructor (Cath) also helped me practice controlling my nerves in a test situation. I only had a few weeks of lessons before I took my first test with Kelly and passed with only 2 minors!

Big thanks to Dee, was very, very nervous when I first started out, but she made me feel really at easy, courtesy of being really friendly and chatty in the car. She’s also very flexible and understanding, which is always a bonus, and all of these things contributed to be passing 1st time. Can’t reccomend highly enough, thanks again!

Dee you are amazing

Passed my driving test 1st time thanks to the amazing DEE!! She gives you all the confidence in the world and works her schedule around yours! Couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Provides a WORLD CLASS service, learning to drive with Rookie is the best thing you could do.Love you Dee! :)

Cath you are a fantastic driving instructor

I passed my driving test after a beautiful journey. I am very pleased with all my driving lesson as Cath is fantastic teacher. I think “Rookie” is one of the very few driving schools in UK that organized a mock test after 10-15 lessons which is very helpful to work on mistake as well as build confidence. Cath you are very friendly and honest with all the advice. She is very flexible with timing. She fit all lessons around work.I really respect her for that. She always strengthened my confidence and was always more confident in me then myself.I would recommend Rookie driving school “Cath” to everyone, THANKYOU VERY MUCH CATH LOVE U !!!!

VroomVroomVroom

Hard to put into words how amazing Dee and Rookie were, I never thought in a thousand years I would pass at my age (40 something) Lessons early morning ,Lessons to work (15miles away), and when I did not feel great Dee was there to get me back on track and put in extra time and get me back on track and yes no surprise I passed first time also like everybody else. She make you feel like you are the only one she is teaching and giving 100% to but she is doing this to all her students

Driving Lessons/Courses

Driving Lessons Manchester

Rookie School of Motoring believe that flexibility is the key to making happy customers, and it is because of this that we offer a wide range of options on our driving lessons and courses in Manchester. We understand that people learn at different rates, and even that you may have experience with driving already. Our packages below should help you in selecting the ideal driving package for you.

Single Driving Lessons
Single driving lessons are available from each of our instructors and are ideal if you want to ensure you are compatible with the instructor who you will be learning with. Learning to drive can be an experience filled with both good and hard times, and Rookie finds that pairing you with an instructor with whom you bond will make the experience more fun, fulfilling and satisfying. You may also continue on a ‘Pay-as-you-go’ basis if your pocket prefers, though you may find that our courses offer greater value for money. Our lessons are also flexible in terms of timing, with instructors available in bookings of 60, 90 and 120 minutes, from as early a 7am. Click here to see our prices.

Intensive Driving Courses
Once you are certain that the instructor you are paired with is the one for you, you may wish to consider booking a block course with Rookie School of Motoring. Our driving courses offer significant value in learning to drive and often prove to be a great motivator. You my also use your block booking in any way you wish; have plenty of time to pass your test? Space your lessons out and let them sink in. Or, book them all close together and pass your driving test even quicker. Flexibility is always key in success and Rookie School of Motoring offers flexibility in spades.

7 Day driving course
Quick pass driving courses are all the rage currently, but Rookie must be brutally honest; it is rare that a new driver will be successful in such a course. That said, if you have previous experience of driving you may find that our intensive 7 day programme could get you out on the road in the quickest possible time. Applicant for our intensive course must have passed their driving theory test and be ready to put forward for the practical part of the test following this course. Sticking to our aim of proving flexibility, Rookie can even provide discounted links for accommodation should you require a bed in Manchester whilst studying.
