⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 Ventnor for your intensive driving course.
Travelling by Train
For learner drivers heading to Ventnor for an intensive driving course, navigating the Isle of Wight’s public transport to reach Ventnor is straightforward. From mainland towns, your journey will involve a train and ferry, followed by a bus to Ventnor.
If you’re travelling from London, South Western Railway services from London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour are frequent. From Portsmouth Harbour, take the Wightlink FastCat ferry to Ryde Pier Head. This ferry journey takes approximately 22 minutes. Alternatively, from Southsea, the Hovertravel Hovercraft offers a speedy 10-minute crossing to Ryde Esplanade. Once at Ryde Pier Head or Esplanade, board the Island Line train to Shanklin. From Shanklin train station, the Southern Vectis Route 3 bus provides a direct link to Ventnor, taking around 12-18 minutes.
If your journey originates from areas like Bristol or Cardiff, it’s generally best to travel via Southampton. CrossCountry and Great Western Railway (GWR) offer services to Southampton Central. From Southampton, take the Red Funnel Red Jet Hi-Speed ferry to West Cowes. From West Cowes, catch the Southern Vectis Route 1 bus to Newport bus station, then transfer to the Southern Vectis Route 3 bus to Ventnor. The Southern Vectis Route 6 bus also serves Ventnor from Newport.
For the best travel experience to Ventnor, aim for off-peak hours, typically outside of weekday rush hours (7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM) and weekends, to avoid busier services. Booking combined train and ferry tickets in advance can often be more economical. You can book your train tickets, including combined ferry options, via Trainline or MyTrainTicket.
Travelling by Bus
For learner drivers heading to Ventnor, navigating the Isle of Wight’s bus network is straightforward. Southern Vectis is the primary operator serving Ventnor. From Newport, the central hub, you can reach Ventnor directly via the Route 3 or Route 6 buses. The Route 3 bus from Newport Bus Station to Ventnor’s Old Station Road takes approximately 28-32 minutes and runs every 20 minutes. Alternatively, the Route 6 from Newport Bus Station travels to Ventnor via Chillerton, Chale, Blackgang Chine, Niton, and Whitwell, ending at Boots, Ventnor.
If you’re coming from Ryde, take the Island Line train to Shanklin, then connect to Ventnor using the Route 3 bus from Shanklin train station, a journey of about 15-18 minutes. From Yarmouth, take the Route 7 bus to Newport Bus Station, then transfer to the Route 3 bus for Ventnor.
For optimal travel to Ventnor, aim for off-peak hours to avoid potential traffic, especially during weekday mornings (7 AM – 10 AM) and evenings (4 PM – 7 PM). Buses generally run until around midnight on weekdays and 3 AM on weekends. You can purchase tickets directly from the bus driver, via the Southern Vectis app, or consider a 24 or 48-hour Rover ticket for unlimited travel across Ventnor and the island. For bus ticket booking and journey planning, visit the Southern Vectis website or download their app.

Where to Start?
Looking to learn to drive in Ventnor? 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.”
Shorif Kazi – DVSA Approved Driving Instructor
