Average pupil rating
A driving school built around the learner.
Green Driving School was built on fifteen years of teaching across all of Birmingham. The promise is simple: lessons that move at your pace, an instructor who actually listens, and a car you’ll feel comfortable in from the first turn of the key. No shouting, no surprise route changes, no upselling — just steady, professional teaching from someone who has seen every test centre quirk in the city.
- DVSA-approved instructor: Fully qualified, fully insured, fully patient.
- One pupil, one car: Lessons are never doubled-up or split with another learner.
- Eco-conscious fleet: Modern hybrid tuition cars — easier to drive, cheaper on fuel for your own future car.
- Pickup from your door: Home, college, sixth form, or work — anywhere in the covered area.

What pupils say
“Passed first time with two minors. Showkat is genuinely the most patient instructor I’ve met — my mum had been trying to teach me for a year and it was a disaster. Six months with Green and I’m driving the family car every weekend.”
“I’m 41 and had failed twice with other schools. Switched to Green for a refresher block and finally got it. He doesn’t make you feel stupid for asking the basic stuff again.”
“Did the 4-week intensive course before uni. Test booked in advance, knew exactly what to expect on the day. Couldn’t recommend more.”

Frequently asked questions
- How long will it take me to pass?
- The DVSA average is about 45 hours of professional lessons plus 20 hours of private practice. Most of our pupils sit their test between 30 and 50 hours. If you want a fixed timeline, take the intensive course.
- Manual or automatic — which should I learn in?
- Automatic is faster to pass in and removes stalling from the equation, but a manual licence lets you drive both. We’ll talk through what suits you on your first lesson — no pressure either way.
- Do you pick me up from home?
- Yes — we offer pickup across all of Birmingham. We can pick you up from home, college, work, or anywhere else in the city that suits.
- What car will I learn in?
- A modern hybrid — dual-controlled, fully insured, and easy to handle. Smooth steering and good visibility for new drivers.
- What if I need to cancel a lesson?
- 48 hours’ notice and there’s no charge. Life happens — just let us know as early as you can so the slot can be filled.
- Do you teach nervous drivers?
- Especially nervous drivers. A lot of our pupils have had a bad experience elsewhere or with a family member. We start slow, on quiet roads, and only push when you’re ready.
