Ability Driving School
Manual
£40 per hour or £380 for a 10-hour block with a £20 discount. All instructors complete an 80-hour training academy course and follow a structured Accelerated Learning System designed to cut learning time and costs; if you're not satisfied with your instructor's friendliness, teaching quality, patience, or lesson structure, Ian Mills personally refunds your fee. The school's quality assurance process includes feedback forms and a commitment to interactive, objective-driven lessons rather than aimless driving.
