⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

  • 🗓️ Passed in just 5 weeks – with 1 minor
  • 📍 Hadn’t driven in 8 years before starting
  • Course arranged around limited availability

Driving Crash Courses in Lewes

At Rated Driving, we specialise in arranging intensive driving courses in Lewes, helping you get on the road quickly and confidently. Whether you're looking for a driving crash course or a structured intensive, we’ll match you with a trusted, DVSA-registered instructor to guide you through.

With a clear plan, local expertise, and nothing for you to coordinate, getting test-ready can happen in as little as one week.

Why Book an Intensive Driving Course in Lewes Through Us?

We only work with DVSA-registered instructors who know the local area inside-out - including the roads you’ll most likely face on test day.

Once matched, your instructor can arrange pickups from home, school or work - whatever’s easiest for you. One less thing to think about.

Rated Driving acts as your booking agent. We handle the logistics, paperwork and pairing - the instructor delivers your lessons, and you stay focused on learning.

A Smooth Journey to Passing Your Test

We believe confidence is just as important as competence - so your instructor will build the course around your pace, your nerves, and your goals.

They’ll focus on what you need most, whether that’s junctions, parking or staying calm under pressure - so no time is wasted.

Throughout the process, our support team is here if you need us. From sign-up to test day, you’re never left figuring it out alone.

Our Lewes Driving Instructors

We’ve built a trusted team of local DVSA-approved instructors - from Lewes and beyond - each one handpicked to suit your learning style, schedule, and preferences.

  • Choose a male or female instructor you’ll feel comfortable with

  • Learn in a manual or automatic - whichever gets you confident faster

  • All instructors are fully DBS-checked and DVSA-approved

  • Many specialise in helping nervous learners feel at ease behind the wheel

  • Evening and weekend lessons available for tight schedules

Where to Start?

Looking to learn to drive in Lewes? Whether you prefer automatic or manual, there are plenty of flexible lesson options available.

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.

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.

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:

4. Practice Moving Off and Stopping
You’ll start with the basics:

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.

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.”

Master the Roads in Lewes - And Pass With Confidence

Master the Roads of Lewes with an Intensive Driving Course

Dreaming of gaining your driving independence quickly? An intensive driving course in Lewes could be your fast track to success. Rated Driving offers comprehensive intensive driving courses designed to get you test-ready efficiently, all while familiarizing you with the unique driving conditions of this charming East Sussex town.

Lewes, with its blend of historic streets and surrounding rural roads, provides an excellent environment for intensive driving lessons. You’ll gain invaluable experience navigating the narrower, winding roads of the town centre, such as High Street and School Hill, which demand precision and awareness. Beyond the town, you’ll tackle the A26, a main road that will help you build confidence at higher speeds and in varying traffic conditions. This diverse range of roads ensures you’re well-prepared for any scenario you might encounter on your driving test and beyond.

One of the key benefits of taking an intensive driving course in Lewes is the focused, one-on-one tuition you receive. This allows for rapid progress, as you’re fully immersed in the learning process without long gaps between lessons. Rated Driving’s experienced instructors are local experts, intimately familiar with Lewes and its surrounding areas, ensuring your training is tailored to the specific challenges and nuances of driving here.

Beyond the wheel, Lewes offers a delightful backdrop for your learning journey. After a productive driving session, you can unwind and explore some of the town’s rich history and attractions. Take a stroll through the impressive grounds of Lewes Castle, a Norman fortress offering panoramic views across Sussex. Discover the fascinating Anne of Cleves House, a beautiful 16th-century timber-framed building that was part of Anne of Cleves’ annulment settlement from Henry VIII. Or, find tranquility amidst the ruins of Lewes Priory, the first Cluniac house in England. These local landmarks provide perfect opportunities to relax and reflect between your intensive driving sessions in Lewes.

When it comes to your practical driving test, while Lewes itself doesn’t have its own test centre, the nearest practical driving test centre is located in Burgess Hill. Your instructor will ensure you are thoroughly familiar with the routes and conditions around this test centre. For your theory test, there isn’t a dedicated theory test centre in Lewes either, but convenient options are available in nearby Brighton, Eastbourne, Crawley, Hastings, and Worthing. You can find more information on practical test centres at GOV.UK’s driving test centre finder and theory test centres at GOV.UK’s theory test centre finder.

Choosing an intensive driving course in Lewes with Rated Driving means choosing a fast, effective, and enjoyable path to becoming a confident and skilled driver. Our dedicated instructors and tailored approach will help you navigate the roads of Lewes and beyond with ease. Don’t wait to gain your independence; take the fast lane to your driving licence.

Intensive Driving Course FAQ's in Lewes

What are the local driving conditions like in Lewes for an intensive driving course?

Lewes presents a varied driving environment, ideal for intensive courses. You’ll encounter narrow, often congested roads in the town centre, such as High Street and School Hill, which are excellent for developing precision and patience. You’ll also experience roundabouts and potentially steep hills, providing a comprehensive learning experience. Your instructor will guide you through these conditions, preparing you for diverse scenarios.

Where are the nearest driving test centres to Lewes?

While Lewes itself doesn’t have a practical driving test centre, the closest option is in Burgess Hill, approximately 8.5 miles away. Other nearby test centres include Eastbourne, Lancing, and Hastings (Ore). Your intensive driving course will include practice on routes commonly used for tests in these areas to ensure you’re familiar with them.

Can I change my driving instructor after I’ve started my intensive course?

Can I change my driving test booking after I’ve agreed to it?

Let us know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule so we can help secure your new preferred slot.

Rated Driving acts as a booking agent. We arrange your intensive driving course by matching you with a DVSA-approved, independent driving instructor. While we manage the booking and coordination, all driving lessons are delivered directly by the instructor, not by Rated Driving.

If we are unable to connect you with a local driving instructor in Lewes within 14 business days of your booking, you will receive a full refund. For other refund scenarios, our policy generally states that payments made within the last 30 days are refundable based on agreed hours and value between the learner and instructor.
