* Qualified needing help
Welcome to Drive and Pass Driving School
Fully Qualified Professional Driving Instructors
You´ll be taught by an experienced driving instructor who will adapt each lesson to your needs giving you the confidence to become a safe driver for life and achieving a high standard to pass the DVSA practical driving test. If you want thorough training in detail to a very high standard to be a confident driver to deal with all hazards with confidence and pass your test with only 2 or 3 driving faults, then look no further. We want to train YOU.
How Long Does The Training Last?
On average it takes about 30 weeks based on 1 lesson a week but we can increase the pace of the training if you need to get to test sooner. The duration can vary from person to person. Your driver training is mainly in Loughborough so ideally you would take your test at this DVSA Driving Test Centre.
What Does The Training Cover?
Your training is based on the DVSA Syllabus which ensures we cover all aspects of driving for modern roads. You´ll have your own Progress Report which outlines all subjects and achievement levels which your instructor will show you periodically.
What Is A Typical Lesson Like?
You will learn in a car with MANUAL transmission. We are very aware to keep you safe, so we will ensure you are exposed slowly to more challenging situations. This not only keeps the general public safe but also strengthens your confidence step by step. For example, we´ll only take you on a busier road when you have mastered the basics of clutch control, braking progressively and safe steering. None of our pupils experience fear or nervousness at any moment in their training. All lessons are structured with objectives and feedback. Your instructor will set out the plan, content and what you should achieve. You´ll get step by step instruction and eventually you´ll be given the opportunity to do it for yourself towards the end of the lesson. Finally a joint assessment is made so you can identify areas for improvement on your next class.
Why Do People Fail Their Tests?
Firstly, the DVSA Examiners expect you to be ready and prepared for independent driving and you should only take your test if your driving instructor sees evidence of this in your driving through mock tests. Going too early for test results usually in failure. We can ensure you´ll not make these 10 reasons for failure:
Check Out Our Recent Pupil Passes Below: Average only 3 Minor Faults!
We are proud to say that all our pupils achieve a very HIGH standard. Our training is so thorough and detailed that we eliminate all driver errors throughout your training period which is reflected in quality passes of between 0 - 5 driver faults.

John has been a great driving instructor. His lessons were very focused around what I needed to improve on which was very helpful as it came closer to my test. John was very good at going over things in detail and made sure I fully understood which helped me make less mistakes. I feel confident now about driving on my own - something I was always worried about, but I feel John has covered everything needed. Thank you very much John!

A Great Pass Zuzanna
from Uni Nottingham
Sutton Bonnington
Only 2 minor faults!
Zuzanna says:
" John is the best instructor out of the three instructors I tried.
I was a very anxious and nervous driver. John was perfect for me as he is extremely calm, patient and very professional. Other reasons why I would recommend John to anyone are:
(1) always came prepared with a lesson plan to maximise the time and help with progress
(2) regularly updated the sheet with all of the driving skills a pupil should develop
(3) explained things clearly using real-life reference points
(4) the lessons were challenging which helped me develop my skills faster
(5) great value for money
(6) helped me with my confidence.
I truly believe John cares about his students and wishes them to be great drivers for life, and not just for everyone to pass their test (although that too!). After lessons with John, the driving test felt like a breeze thanks to the high standard of John’s teaching. I passed with only two minors.

"I started having lessons with John after I had had 50 hours of lessons with a pretty terrible instructor. I found driving scary, had been taught badly and so had some bad habits. John was really logical about reteaching everything properly so that I was driving safely and felt much more comfortable. He was always calm, reassuring and explained things clearly (and often repeatedly!) until I understood. Each lesson was planned with a focus and I always had a clear idea about how far I was from taking my test. My lessons with John have prepared me well to be a safe and confident driver. I would absolutely recommend John, particularly to anyone anxious about driving."

HI John many thanks for your efforts towards helping me pass. You patched me up real good, from roundabouts to speed. I was really struggling in Birmingham and you really helped me with discipline and progression through gears even the fact I was clutch burning and you removed that aspect from my driving. Thanks for helping me pass in minimal hours.

My experience with John Kerr and Drive and Pass:I've had a countless number of instructors in my time learning to drive, none have ever come close to the professionalism and expert level of knowledge held by John Kerr. Unlike a lot of instructors, John prides himself in making you the best driver you can be. You're not just trained to be at pass standard, instead, you are trained to tackle any situation the roads have for you. At the end of each lesson, there would be an in-depth debrief to discuss how you thought the lesson went and where you could improve. John consistently made sure that every minute of the lesson was used to effectively to most improve your driving and often went overtime to make sure you would leave the lesson feeling great. As well as taking it very seriously, John was a very friendly instructor and his humour made the lessons that much more enjoyable. I would like to thank John for going that extra mile for me (excuse the pun!). Cheers again. Haidar.
From John:
Your more than welcome HaIdar. It was a pleasure teaching you. Your enthusiasm was fantastic.

Instructor 100% Commitment
My name is John and I am a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor. I´ll train you to a very high standard to ensure you are confident to deal with all hazards and pass the DVSA Practical Test. All my pupils achieve QUALITY PASS RATES OF BETWEEN 0 - 6 MINOR FAULTS, the average being 3 FAULTS.
Training to DVSA Car Driving Syllabus
Your training will be based on the DVSA Driving Syllabus which will include all aspects of safe driving, so at the end you´ll be well equipped to deal with a wide range of driving scenarios.
Includes Dual Carriageway and Country Roads
Before you choose a driving instructor,
ask if you´ll be trained in line with:
1. DVSA Car syllabus
2. Country roads and progress driving
3. Knowledge of the Basics
Certain instructors take you through the training too quickly (to give you the feeling you are being stretched) but could result in serious mistakes being made on busy roads putting your safety is at risk. I´ll make sure you have good clutch control, streering skills and controlled braking ability before you go on busy roads.
4. Dual Carriageways, slip roads and filter roundabouts.
Some instructors unfortunately take short cuts and promise a quick pass in minimal hours and teach only test routes. Don´t be deceived by this as you will not be able to cover the full training in only a few hours. Do you really want to risk yourself and your passengers not knowing what to to on a dual carriageway leaving via a multi-landed filter roundabout?
Dual carriageways and country roads ARE INCLUDED in the DVSA driving test.

The DVSA Practical Driving Test requires a high standard of driving. During the test, the Examiner will watch you continually to check that you respond correctly to developing hazards. Not only this, he/she expects you to drive safely and calmly without hesitation. You have to be able to control the car at all times and not be a danger to other road users.
What does that mean?
You have to be able to anticipate the road ahead and plan accordingly. It may involve just small changes to your speed and positioning but you need to be able to do it effectively without putting you or other road users in potential danger. For example, braking suddenly would indicate you didn´t see far enough ahead and anticipate in time to the fixed or developing hazard in front of you.
Your instructor will teach you a very high standard and show you how to anticipate and avoid sharp braking as well as guiding you through the Test procedure. Also you´ll be trained on some of the test routes used in Loughbrough and the outskirts. More importantly, you´ll learn all the skills necessary to pass the test including how identify different types of road junctions (where about 60% of accidents occur) how to approach, enter and leave roundabouts, and how to decide if its safe to continue when cars are approaching you.
Are You Ready For Test
Your instructor will assess you and help you understand the high standard of driving required for the driving test. The following DVSA Guidance will help you understand the test requirements:

All minor driver faults can potentially develop into serious
faults so its best to aim to pass with Zero faults. Yes - it is
possible, ask our pupils!
