A driving school that cares about you.
Since 2004, 1st Choice Driving School has been helping learner drivers in Grimsby, Cleethorpes, and nearby villages become confident, safe drivers. With over 22 years of experience, we welcome learners of all ages, from 17-year-old college students to older adults eager to develop their driving skills.
- We offer manual driving lessons in the Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Waltham, and New Waltham areas.
- Competitive prices
- DVSA-structured lessons.
Quality of instruction.
With over 20 years of experience, 1st Choice Driving School focuses on quality over quantity when it comes to instructors. Our close-knit team consists of four fully qualified ADIs (Approved Driving Instructors) and one PDI (Potential Driving Instructor), offering both male and female options. Between us, we’ve built an excellent pass rate and a solid reputation at the Grimsby Driving Test Centre in North East Lincolnshire.
Value for money.
All lessons are one-on-one with no backseat passengers, ensuring the session is tailored to your needs rather than giving someone else a lift home.
Additional courses.
We’re Pass Plus registered, offering motorway lessons, refresher courses, ADI and PDI training, along with flexible franchise opportunities.
Learning to drive can feel intimidating at first, from meeting your instructor and settling into the driver’s seat to navigating unfamiliar roads. That’s why choosing a highly recommended driving school is so important—it gives you peace of mind knowing you’re learning with qualified ADIs and PDIs.
Since the launch on the Ready to Pass on 18 July 2022 from the DVSA, all learner drivers can reflect on your readiness to pass your driving test. On your driving lesson you will:-
- Reflect on your last lesson & set your own goals.
- Lesson will be adapted to your strengths & weaknesses.
- Agree risk responsibility on your driving lesson.
Please click on the link READY TO PASS and see what the driving test entails.
All lessons should be learner-centred-lesson.
