7am–7pm
Built around your local test centre, not a one-size-fits-all course.
Chatham is at the heart of the Medway towns, where learners use the A2 New Road, the Pentagon roundabout and the steep hills of Luton Road before the short drive to Gillingham, the dense urban network making it a thorough training ground. 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.

The roads you'll learn on around Chatham.
Chatham has its own challenges. Your instructor builds them into your lessons so nothing on test day is a surprise.
Big multi-lane roundabouts
Chatham is full of large, busy roundabouts, lane discipline and confident observation are practised until they're second nature.
Luton Road & Pentagon roundabout
The multi-exit Pentagon roundabout and the gradient changes on Luton Road are the defining challenges, demanding precise observation, signalling and gradient starts.
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.
