7am–7pm
Built around your local test centre, not a one-size-fits-all course.
Taunton tests blend fast A-road work on the A358 Toneway with tight urban streets through Priorswood and Halcon and a demanding approach to the M5 Junction 25 roundabout, with 60, 40 and 30 mph limit changes on a single route. An intensive course with a local instructor means every hour is spent on the roads, junctions and manoeuvres you’ll meet on test day, not generic practice.

Taunton instructors
Approved instructors who teach the local routes, roundabouts and the roads around the local test centre every week.
Pass in weeks, not months
Your hours condensed into one to a few weeks, fully intensive or semi-intensive spread out. You set the pace around work, college or shifts.
Home or workplace pickup
Collected from across Taunton, home, work or college, wherever it's feasible, so your hours go on driving, not travelling.
Manual or automatic
Your choice of transmission on every course, matched to a Taunton instructor who teaches in it. Tell us at enquiry.
Theory training support
Get your theory genuinely solid alongside your driving. The theory test is booked separately with the DVSA, we make sure you're ready.

You book your own practical test; we help you secure an early date at Taunton, watching for cancellations and short-notice slots, within DVSA rules.
Four routes to your licence, one for every level.
Same expert teaching, pickup and test-date help on every course. The only difference is how many hours you need, and the less experience you have, the more you'll want. Prices vary by area; tell us your postcode for a tailored Taunton quote.

The roads you'll learn on around Taunton.
Taunton has its own challenges. Your instructor builds them into your lessons so nothing on test day is a surprise.
Big multi-lane roundabouts
Taunton is full of large, busy roundabouts, lane discipline and confident observation are practised until they're second nature.
A358 Toneway
The 60-to-40 mph camera drop on Toneway requires candidates to read speed-limit signs early and maintain safe following distances on a fast multi-lane road.
Town-centre one-way system
Tight lane changes, frequent junctions and pedestrians through the centre, exactly the busy environment the test puts you in.
Residential manoeuvres
Quieter estates around the town for the test manoeuvres, pulling up on the right, bay parking and reversing, practised where you'll be asked to do them.
