DRIVING TUITION

TAILORED TO YOU

  • Manual Driving Lessons

    At Elite Driving Academy, we specialise in providing driving lessons to suit the needs of our students. You can book lessons in one or two hour slots, as well as block bookings, prepaid up-front, for five or ten lessons. We pride ourselves on providing the very best in driving tuition across Lancashire.

  • Automatic Driving Lessons

    Learning to drive in a manual car may not be for you and for many people, automatic driving lessons may be a better option. Whether you’ve had a driving lesson in a manual car before and found it difficult, or you find driving an automatic more suitable for your lifestyle, we’re here to help.

  • Driving Instructor Training

    ORDIT is the qualification that indicates if your trainer has undergone an ORDIT inspection to assess their ability to give excellent training for all parts of the ADI training process. ORDIT is the official register for driver trainers in the UK, choosing an ORDIT trainer will better equip you for your training.

Fab driving school. My instructor is Mohammed Kibria and he is a fab instructor to have. He always puts a smile on your face. He is so helpful and I am so grateful to have him as an instructor.
Sarah Farrar
Amazing experience with Elite Driving Academy - I was a somewhat experienced learner and after 24 hours (12 lessons, 2 hours) of driving with Elite, I passed my driving test with just 3 minors! Structured lessons, with a full recap and briefing at the start, really focus on what you feel you need to cover, extremely flexible and competitively priced. Recommended to my work friends and family, thank you Mirza
Tom Atkinson
Thanks very much to Lewis and Bobby for the excellent service!! Lewis managed to arrange a last minute 2 hour driving lesson for my son with Bobby today which he throughly enjoyed!! Can’t recommend highly enough. Nothing was too much trouble. 👍🏻👏🏻👊🏻

After struggling with previous instructors learning with Elite Driving was great. Naila’s a great and reliable instructor who helped me become confident on the roads and our lessons were very enjoyable. I couldn’t have passed my test without her help so would highly recommend.
H Yasmin
Passed first time today with the help from Nas, honestly the best instructor I could’ve asked for she’s got so much patience, so professional and I just couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you so much !!
Vicky Foster
Naila is a brilliant instructor and was very patient with me. She made the lessons enjoyable and helped me become a lot more confident (considering how nervous I was at the start). She would review my errors and correct them every week allowing me to drive more confidently. Would recommend Naila to help pass your test first time. Thank you Naila

I've had a wonderful instructor ,McAuley Goodwill, who's been patient and quick to getting my faults polished up , passed first time with him .
James Hadley
When I first started my driving lessons I was really nervous and anxious, I found the lessons quite hard. I then joined with Elite and as the lessons went by my confidence not only grew I no longer felt anxious getting behind the wheel. I found the driving app that Elite use help me to better understand my strengths and weaknesses and helped to keep me on track week to week. I found all the learning materials including their videos extremely helpful. I found both Lewis and Jess really friendly people which made me feel comfortable throughout my lessons. In comparison to other driving instructors I found Elite to be the ones who really helped me progress and leave my anxiety at the door. I would highly recommend Elite Driving Academy for anybody wanting to take up driving lessons. Thank you to Elite, especially Lewis & Jess for giving me the confidence and knowledge required to pass 1st time 😁😁
Rachel Day
Very good experience with them even more than my expectations. My instructor, Sabeela an expert instructor very loyal and friendly I feel really comfortable with her. Really reliable so I just follow her and gain my goal in first attempt. Its all because of her. This institute overall up to the mark in professionalism and follow rules and regulations and on other side really cooperative and kind to us.
