Why Elevate

Cheaper lessons cost more if you fail.

You will find deals £1 or £2 an hour cheaper. Extra lessons and re-tests soon wipe that out — so we put experience first.

Qualified, never trainee

Every instructor is a DVSA approved driving instructor with years of experience — not a trainee learning on your time.

Manual & automatic

Male and female instructors across Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, in manual and automatic cars.

Free theory training

Pupils get free access to Elevate Revise, our online theory and hazard perception training site.

Recommended by pupils

Almost all of our work comes from personal recommendation — client-centred lessons at your pace.

Success gallery

Hundreds of Nottingham passes every year.

Real pupils, real test days. This is a fraction of the certificates handed out this year.
