Why Choose Us
To help you decide between learning with a national school or a local independent instructor, here are some points to help you make up your mind. As one of the UK's largest and most popular driving schools, we pride ourselves on providing our pupils with the best service – including both our fully-qualified instructors and our telephone customer advisers.
Tuition cars
If you'd like to put a shiny new Ford Focus or Fiesta through its paces, you'll get your chance here. We update our vehicles frequently, so you'll never be upstaged by friends learning with other driving schools.
We're flexible
With over 2,000 UK instructors available, you can pick a time and place that suits you. We'll help you find an instructor who can offer you a convenient time and place, instead of one instructor who has limited availability.
Fully qualified instructors
All AA driving instructors are fully qualified. The green DSA (Driving Standards Agency) badge in the windscreen proves this. Other driving schools may use partly trained instructors, shown by a pink badge in the window. This doesn't necessarily mean they aren't as good, but they won't have as much experience.
As a nationally trusted brand we take our reputation very seriously, and we'll do all we can to ensure you receive the best tuition in a comfortable environment.
Learning resources
We'll provide all the kit you need to pass both your theory and your practical tests. Our learners receive:
- dedicated advisers (independent schools rarely offer this)
- printed lesson support materials
- online learning resources
- carefully vetted instructors checked regularly for quality standards
This backup will help ensure that you become a safe and responsible driver.
Choose the right course for you
We want to help you become as safe a driver as possible. To supplement our normal learner driver courses, you can opt for one of our improvers' courses:
- Drive Confident
- Eco Driving
- Pass Plus
- Motorway Driving
If you're having some extra practice with friends or relatives, we also have an in-car session for people who are supporting learners, so they can be a real help to you when you practise between lessons.

* More people pass first time with the AA Based on a survey of 2,000 motorists aged 17 to 30 years old in May 2010, more young people passed their test first time when they learned with the AA Driving School than those who learned with BSM or Red.
