Surepass offers everything you would expect from a quality driving school, we specialise in 1-week crash courses and patient-friendly weekly driving lessons. You would expect this to come with a price tag but you will find our prices offer the best value in your area. You could probably find it cheaper but you could end up learning in a 10-year-old car that is unreliable and harder to drive.

Had a great driving experience for my daughter with Mark Hawtin of this company. Very down to earth and a common sense approach, also kept me informed of progress and suggested lots of support materials. Thanks very much.

Mark Hawtin was my instructor and helped me pass with just 3 minors! Marks very calm and patient approach helped me stay calm and build confidence with driving. Thanks for all your help, mark!
Mark Hawtin- patient and knowledgeable driving instructor
My daughter received lessons from Mark Hawtin from October 25 to February 26 and has just passed her test first time! Mark is a very knowledgeable, patient instructor with a great sense of humour! He is fab with shy and nervous drivers and helped my daughter feel completely at ease during her lessons. He was flexible around her busy schedule to fit lessons in that suited us and ensured she was well prepared in the lead up to test day. We can't thank him enough and would highly recommend Mark and the Surepass driving school :-) We have been passing Marks details to all her friends and would definitely use Mark again when our son is old enough to drive.
Curtis is an amazing driving instructor
Curtis is an amazing driving instructor I definitely recommend him for anyone learning to drive. He is very calm and explains everything very well. I had a great time learning with him as well as one of my colleagues who also passed with him. He really helped build my confidence on the road and I’m ready to drive by myself now !
Anthony Gant great instructor
Anthony Gant from Newtown has been a great instructor and has helped me on my way to passing my test this Wednesday just been.
He has been reassuring and helped build my confidence when driving and overall has been a great instructor
Anthony Gant outstanding instructor
I had Anthony Gant in powys as my instructor and highly recommend. He helped me build confidence behind the wheel and also allowed me to evaluate myself along the way and choose what i feel i need more practice in and not as confident. Brilliant instructor. Very understanding and patient and taken into account im neurodivergent and sometimes struggle taking in verbal instructions. Made a couple slip ups during lessons but always stayed calm and would reassure me when doubting my ability. Passed driving and theory test first time and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do manual driving as great car to learn in.

Mark Hawtin - the best instructor
I had Mark Hawtin as my driving instructor from September 2025 to January 2026 and honestly, it’s been a pleasure. After going through three other instructors and plenty of bumps along the road (figuratively and thankfully not literally), it’s safe to say I’ve been around the block.
Mark was hands down the best of the bunch. His calm, positive attitude and unshakable patience were exactly what my nervous self needed. He has a great way of explaining things, never made me feel rushed and somehow turned stressful lessons into something I actually looked forward to.
Thanks to Mark’s guidance, confidence and great sense of humour, I finally felt comfortable behind the wheel. I couldn’t recommend him more learning to drive with him really was a ride!
Surepass Mark... fantastic instructor.
My daughter had Mark, Northamptonshire, and he has been absolutely fabulous! Organised and accommodated her lesson times round her tight schedule, put himself out to go that extra mile with her. Taught her brilliantly meaning a first time pass and 0 minors!! Wow!! Supported her when things didn't go to plan (2 ... yes 2!! Cancelled tests by the examiners). He put her through her paces to get test ready & related so well to her as a young adult. All round brilliant instructor... we can't recommend him highly enough. She was so lucky to have him. Thank you Mark.

my experience
my instructor was Mark. He was an amazing instructor made me feel so comfortable with driving and taught me all the rules of the road and answered all my silly questions. He was an amazing laugh and I love having him as my amazing instructor and I’d recommend him any time.
Curtis Baker
Curtis was brilliant so so patient and flexible. Passed in 9 months from scratch when I was still studying full time and working full time afterwards so he was absolutely brilliant. Passed four minors !!
Many thanks to Alan Brooks

Many thanks to Neil Kilshaw!
Many thanks to Neil Kilshaw
After having a bit of a rocky start to driving I decided to start lessons with Neil and found learning to drive a much better experience. He is in an excellent instructor, really patient and supportive and has taught me to drive safely with confidence. He really went above and beyond and was determined to get me a test as soon as possible. Which has led me to pass first time today! - Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Highly recommend Neil Kilshaw. He has been encouraging, supportive and professional throughout my daughter’s lessons and even invited me to join them on a drive to see her progress. She passed first time, in record time and we can’t thank you enough.

Why Alison kewley is a top driving instructor
I had a crash course with Alison Kewley, was a pleasant experience from the day I started! Wasn’t angry when I did wrong or annoyed just helped me and told me when I was right and wrong. Not only was I learning more minute by minute but she would tell me too repeat what I did wrong until I did right. Highly reccommend!
