⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashleigh – Passed with 1 Minor
“I booked my crash course through Rated Driving and it has been nothing but exceptional! I had very limited availability, but Kevin and the team worked around everything to get it sorted. I started with no confidence and hardly any experience — and in just five weeks, I passed my first test with ONE minor! My instructor was absolutely amazing. I can’t fault a single thing. From nervous to fully confident and safe on the road in a matter of weeks — I’m so grateful!”

Public Transport Guidance
Getting to Buxton for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to Buxton, accessing the town by train is straightforward, primarily via the scenic Buxton Line. This route connects Buxton directly to Manchester Piccadilly, with Northern Trains operating services. The journey from Manchester Piccadilly to Buxton takes approximately one hour.
If you’re coming from other towns and villages, you’ll likely connect through Stockport. Stockport offers a convenient connection point for trains from the West Midlands, Wales, and the South-West of England, with the journey to Buxton from Stockport taking around 50 minutes.
For optimal travel to Buxton, aim for Off-Peak hours. These generally begin after 9:30 AM on weekdays and apply all day on weekends and bank holidays. Avoid weekday peak times, typically 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, as trains to Buxton can be busier and fares higher. You can book train tickets to Buxton via Trainline or National Rail.
Travelling by Bus
Buxton is well-connected by bus for your intensive driving course. From Stockport, the Skyline 199 bus offers a direct service to Buxton, taking approximately 1 hour 16 minutes from Stockport’s Grand Central station to Sylvan Park or Buxton Railway Station. This service runs every 30 minutes daily. For those travelling from Macclesfield, the High Peak 58 bus provides a direct route to Buxton’s Market Place, with a journey time of around 26 minutes. This service operates hourly on weekdays and Saturdays.
If you’re coming from Sheffield, the Stagecoach 65 bus offers a scenic route to Buxton, stopping at key locations like Eyam and Tideswell. While direct, this journey can take over two hours. From Bakewell, the High Peak TP (Trans-Peak) service or the 58 bus will get you to Buxton’s Market Place in about 43 minutes, with hourly departures. For nearby Chapel-en-le-Frith, the High Peak 199 bus runs every 20 minutes to Buxton, taking around 22 minutes from Morrisons Supermarket to Sylvan Park. Similarly, from Whaley Bridge, the High Peak 199 bus also offers a direct service to Buxton’s Sylvan Park, with a journey time of approximately 34 minutes and departures every 20 minutes.
To avoid peak traffic, aim for mid-morning (after 9 AM) or early afternoon travel. Weekday rush hours (7 AM – 9 AM and 4 PM – 6 PM) can see increased journey times, especially on routes connecting larger towns to Buxton. You can purchase bus tickets directly from the bus operator or explore options on High Peak Buses or BusTickets.com.

Where to Start?
Looking to learn to drive in Buxton? Whether you prefer automatic or manual, there are plenty of flexible lesson options available.
🤔 Wondering How Many Lessons It’ll Take?
You’ll hear numbers like 40 hours of lessons and 20 hours of private practice. But the truth? There’s no magic number.
Some learners feel test-ready in 30 hours. Others need more time to build confidence behind the wheel. What really matters isn’t the total - it’s the consistency.
The more often you drive, the faster everything clicks. And when you combine solid instructor lessons with regular private practice? That’s when real progress happens.
Your journey won’t look like anyone else’s. And that’s exactly how it should be.
🧐 How to Prepare for Your First Driving Lesson
Getting ready for your first driving lesson is an exciting step - and a bit of preparation can help you feel more confident and relaxed on the day. Here’s a simple guide to help you make the most of it:
1. Check Your Provisional Licence
Before your lesson, make sure you have a valid provisional driving licence. Your instructor will need to see it to confirm you’re legally allowed to drive.
2. Get Familiar with the Basics
Take a few minutes to learn the basic layout of a car - the pedals, gear stick, steering wheel, and mirrors. Watching a short video or reading a beginner’s guide can help you feel more prepared.
3. Choose Comfortable Clothing
Wear clothes that allow you to move freely and flat-soled shoes that give you good control of the pedals. Avoid anything bulky or restrictive.
4. Bring the Essentials
Have your provisional licence with you, along with glasses or contact lenses if you need them to drive. A bottle of water is also a good idea to stay hydrated.
5. Get a Good Night’s Sleep
Feeling well-rested will help you stay focused and alert throughout your lesson.
6. Brush Up on the Highway Code
A quick review of key road signs, speed limits, and basic driving rules can give you a boost in confidence before you get behind the wheel. [download The Highway Code 2025 PDF]
7. Keep Your Expectations Realistic
Your first lesson is all about getting familiar with the car and starting to build your skills. Don’t worry about getting everything perfect - take it one step at a time.
With the right preparation and a calm mindset, you’ll be off to a great start.
🙏 What to Expect on Your First Driving Lesson
Your first driving lesson is a key milestone - it's where everything begins. The goal is to help you feel comfortable, introduce you to the car, and give you your first taste of driving. Here’s what typically happens during your first session:
1. Meet Your Instructor
You’ll meet your DVSA-approved driving instructor, who will check your provisional licence and have a quick chat about any experience or knowledge you already have.
2. Go Through the Cockpit Drill (DSSSM)
Before driving, you'll go through a quick safety routine to get set up properly:
- Doors - Make sure all doors are securely closed.
- Seat - Adjust your seat so you can reach the pedals comfortably.
- Steering - Adjust the steering wheel to suit your position.
- Seatbelt - Buckle up for safety.
- Mirrors - Position your mirrors for a clear view around the car.
3. Learn the Basic Car Controls
Your instructor will show you the key controls, including:
- Accelerator, brake, and clutch (if you're learning in a manual)
- Gear stick, handbrake, and indicators
- Other essentials like lights and wipers
4. Practice Moving Off and Stopping
You’ll start with the basics:
- How to start the engine safely
- Checking mirrors and blind spots
- Moving off smoothly and bringing the car to a controlled stop
5. Drive on Quiet Roads
If you're ready, your instructor may take you to a quiet area to practice simple driving skills like steering, gear changes, and stopping calmly.
6. Feedback and Next Steps
At the end of the lesson, your instructor will talk you through what went well and what to work on next time. This feedback helps you build confidence and track your progress.
Getting You Connected
Once your place is secured with a deposit, we’ll aim to match you with a DVSA-registered driving instructor within 14 days. If we can’t, we’ll refund you - no chasing, no questions.

Top Tip for Intensive Driving Courses 👨🏫
“Intensive driving courses can be a great way to learn quickly, but they’re not a shortcut to safe driving. I always remind my pupils: it’s not about cramming—it’s about retaining. Make sure you’re still getting variety in your practice: different roads, weather, and traffic conditions.
Also, be honest with yourself. If you need a little more time to build confidence, take it. It’s better to be fully ready than to rush into a test. A well-paced intensive course, combined with structured learning, can help you pass faster—and drive smarter for life.”
