Beginner – If you are planning to start off with your driving journey, you may look at our Gold / Platinum courses. These courses which are ranging from 35 to 50 hours are designed for beginners. These are suited for learners who have very little driving practice, or even those who have never driven before. 

Intermediate – If you stopped your driving practice before for some reason, we have Silver Courses to help you continue your driving journey. These intermediate courses will help you discover all the driving techniques and go over that all-important driving test sheet!

Experienced – Have you recently failed your test and looking for a course to assess your current driving ability? Then our Bronze courses will suit you best. These courses will help you keep the momentum going especially if you have failed a test. Your driving instructor will help you become the best version of yourself for your test.

Clarkston does not have its own test centre. So when taking your driving test, you will require travel to the nearby town. There are test centres located in Stirling and Ayr where you can take your test. Although they are far from your town in Clarkston, your instructor will take you to these places when it comes to your test

If you need more information on different test centres please feel free to browse through our practical test centres index page.

Clarkston does not have its own theory test centre, this will require you to travel to the nearest test centre that would be situated in Stirling.

Booking a practical is impossible until you’ve passed your theory test, that’s why taking a theory test is very important.

With all our intensive driving courses, we don’t mind if you have not passed your theory yet, we will help you pass your theory as we believe it’s just as important as the practical test
