instructor, every lesson.
First Gear has been teaching people to drive since 2014. Manual and automatic lessons across Nottingham, taught at your pace by an instructor who gets to know you.
Fair price
Single lessons at 38 pounds an hour, and a block of 10 that saves you 30. Clear prices, no surprises.

A 71 percent pass rate last year, against a national average of 48 percent. Six in ten of our pupils pass first time.

Nervous learners are welcome here. You keep the same instructor from your first lesson to your test.
What we teach
Lessons that fit how you learn
Whether you want a steady weekly lesson or to pass in a hurry, there is a way in. Every option comes with the same instructor throughout.
Manual lessons
Full control of the car and the widest choice when you buy. Taught in a dual control car, one step at a time.

Automatic lessons
No clutch, no gears, less to juggle. A calmer way in for many learners, and often quicker to test.

Pass in one or two weeks. We help book your test and build the course around the date.
