Our Services

1st Abacus offers a comprehensive range of driving lessons designed to cater to every need. Whether you are a complete beginner taking your first steps behind the wheel or a more experienced driver seeking to refine specific skills, our tailored approach ensures you receive the right training for your individual circumstances.

Our most popular service is our intensive driving course, recognized for its effectiveness in delivering rapid progress. These courses are meticulously structured to maximise your learning experience, allowing you to gain confidence and competence in a shorter timeframe.

For those seeking a more flexible approach, our midi and semi-intensive courses offer a balance of intensive training with the convenience of shorter driving sessions. Additionally, our test booster course is ideal for students nearing test standard who require focused practice and refinement to achieve success on their driving test.

Refresher lessons are also available for licensed drivers who wish to boost their confidence or develop proficiency in specific areas, such as motorway driving, navigating busy town centres, or mastering parking techniques.

We utilize a state-of-the-art in-car computer system to enhance your theory training directly within the driving lesson environment. This interactive tool provides a valuable resource to supplement your theoretical knowledge and bridge the gap between classroom learning and practical application.
