Bury is a town in Greater Manchester, England. Known as the mill town, Bury emerged as an Industrial Revolution. The town has a population of 78,723, Bury has multiple beautiful cultural landmarks such as Bury Art Museum, Bury Castle, Bury Parish Church, Peel tower etc. Learning to drive in Bury will provide you access with all the roads you need to practice to cover all topics. There will also be plenty of opportunities to practice on high-speed roads nearby as you have the M66 motorway to the east of Bury.

Bury also connects to multiple nearby towns/cities of Heywood, Radcliffe & Rochdale which will broaden the type of roads you travel on! During the majority of your course, you will be driving in the Bury area as it is beneficial to keep all your training here as your local driving test centre is also based in Bury. If you would like to travel out of town and experience driving on different roads, such as rural and country settings, you could travel to local villages such as Summerseat, Greenmount, Hawkshaw, Holcombe, Stubbins & Edenfield.

We put a lot of emphasis and time on how our training courses are designed. We make sure that our courses facilitate everyones requirements, regardless of whether you are a new-learner, part trainer learner or an experienced-learner, our driving courses are designed to help you pass your driving test, instil good driving habits and to help you pass your driving test quicker so you can focus on the most important things in your life!

The first thing you need to consider is which course is best for you. You can visit our courses page and choose the course that suit you. As every learner has a different background to driving, you may of had some lessons a few years ago, you may be turning 17 soon or you have recently failed a driving test and need a refresher course to become confident again!

Once you have chosen your course, the next important step is to organise the dates & timings of your course so they are in alignment with your diary or working schedule. You can contact us via email or you can call us (on 0800 112 3515!)so we can help curate a plan of action that works around any commitments you have with work, childcare, school or any other commitments you have.

The next stage is to workout which tests you need to have with your course. If you need both the theory & practical tests included. The next stage would be gauging when to book your theory test (this is usually booked, before your intensive driving lessons start) is booked. We will provide you our online theory course to help you pass your theory test & we will get you enrolled to help you pass first time!

When your driving isntructor deems you are ready & able to take a driving test, they will use the last remaining hours of your crash course in Bury to help prepare you to pass first time. As the driving test centre is located in Bury, you can expect to drive around Bury to become farmiliar with the road layouts and areas.

At the beginning of your driving test, you will be guided by your examiner to your instructor’s car. The first thing they will go through is the show me tell me questions. They will ask you a question on how to use / check a feature of the vehicle before you drive and 1 question as your driving. Your examinere will also ask if you would like your driving instructor to go on test with you!

Then during the test, your test will be guided through the use of a sat nav. 4/5 tests will contain the satnav and some tests will have your examiner give verbal directions throughout the test. During your test will do some indapendant driving, which is where you will need to demonstrate a good ability of coordination and control of the vehicle. Also, you will complete one manouvre which could be parrellel park, bay park or pulling up on the right hand side of the road.

Once you have completed your test, your driving examiner will give you your result… and you’ve passed! And that’s what we strive for all learners who do our intensive courses, is to pass first time so you can improve your life with new career opporutnities, go on a family holiday or to drive freely!
