"I was recommended to Castle Driving School by a friend, I was really nervous when I started my lessons, but I had Shirley and she made me feel calm and confident, she is a fantastic teacher and helped me pass my test first time."

Learn to Drive

Castle Driving School have been teaching the people of Colchester, Clacton and the surrounding villages to drive for over 50 years and in that time we've developed a reputation as the school that is professional yet friendly and that only has fully qualified instructors. We’re committed to not only getting you through your driving test but not also ensuring that you’re a safe, confident driver.

Driving is a lifelong skill that you never stop learning so if you find yourself struggling or nervous with our modern roads or perhaps haven’t driven for a number of years then why not have some refresher lessons with us?

Not all pupils are the same so we offer a range of driving lesson options to suit different budgets and timescales.

"Weekly" Lessons

Schedule your 1.5 or 2 hour driving lessons as often as you like in either a manual or automatic car. Do remember though that if you pass your driving test in an automatic you will not be licenced to drive a manual car on the road.
