Enjoy learning to drive in a comfortable and relaxed environment.
At Driving School Redruth, we are dedicated to personal driving tuition. One instructor teaches you from the first lesson through to you passing your test, which is simply the best way for you to learn quickly and drive confidently.
Years of experience and working for Driving school Cornwall, we have found that people gain confidence in their driving ability quicker in a medium size car rather than a small car. So all our lessons are carried out in a modern five door Ford Focus.
Located near the historic town of Camborne, Cornwall and offering driving lessons in Redruth, Truro, Falmouth, Hayle, Penzance, St Ives. We are dedicated to offering you personal driving lessons tailored to your style of learning.
Your instructor will be Ian Brennan, a fully qualified (ADI No. 258991) and graded DSA (Driving Standards Agency) instructor with 10 years experience teaching all ages, abilities, and nationalities to pass their driving test.
He has completed an NVQ level 3 in driving tuition and have completed the Institute of Advance Motorist Advanced driving test.
He also attends regular continual professional development courses to keep up to date with all the latest training requirements to get you through your test. We have the belief that teaching in a friendly and open manner treating everybody as an individual benefits the person to learn to drive at their own pace. Everyone is nervous to start with, that is why it is important to feel at ease and relaxed as soon as possible.
Here at Driving School Redruth, we offer a whole range of driving services including:
- Intensive Driving Courses
- Nervous drivers most welcome
- Complete novices
- Re-Tests & Refresher courses
- Pass Plus
- Taxi Test

about-us
Driving School Redruth …
I am an independent driving instructor based near Camborne offering driving lessons throughout Cornwall in a red Ford Focus. I decided to go independent and start Driving School Redruth because after working with some of the well known larger driving schools I was always disappointed with the lack of personnel service they offered. For example: Trying to contact an instructor after hours to re-schedule a lesson, or the instructor never phoning if they were going to be late.
At Driving School Redruth, I can now offer my customers an independent and one to one personal service. My customers can contact me any time, get as much help with as they require with theory and hazard test, i.e: the latest CD Roms to loan FREE of charge which will save you money, and now I set my own hours, enabling me to give my pupils 100%.
So if you want to learn to drive in a comfortable and relaxed environment with a DSA approved and graded instructor who will be 100% committed to getting you through your driving test then I’m waiting for your email or phone call.
• Professional and relaxed service.
• Competitive rates for a 1st class service.
• Each person treated as an individual with individual needs.
• You will get the same instrutor and car for each lesson.
• You will get an honest instructor…no dragging out lessons.
• I won’t give up on you even if other schools have.
• 100% commitment to each and every customer.
• 98% pass rate!

Pass Plus
Pass Plus is an additional training course aimed at making new drivers more comfortable on the roads and driving in certain conditions.
It was designed by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) with input from insurers and the driving instruction industry. In fact most insurers will discount your insurance costs if you have completed a Pass plus course.
The Pass Plus course covers six modules:
- In Town – Aimed at helping you get used to driving through busy towns with other traffic and pedestrians.
- In Different Weather Conditions – Driving in the rain is completely different to driving when it is sunny; this module will teach you these differences.
- On Rural Roads –rural roads present a whole range of different hazards to town driving.
- At Night – Covering all aspects of driving in the dark.
- On Dual Carriageways –covering the different challenges of driving on dual carriage ways.
- On Motorways – Covering all aspects of motorway driving, joining, leaving, breakdowns, and overtaking.
If you would like to learn more about how we can help you complete your Pass Plus then get in contact with me now on 07786 032 064

faqs
FAQ’s
We understand that you may have some questions concerning learning to drive or other driving related subjects so we have included a handy page where we answer some of the most common questions.
What do I need to do in order to start my driving lessons?
Before you actually start driving lessons you will need to get a provisional licence – this will allow you to drive legally on the road whilst you are taking your lessons.
You should be able to get hold of a provisional licence form from either from your local post office or through the Direct Gov website.
Do I need to have my eyes tested before I learn to drive?
It is advisable that you have your eyes checked by an optician before you start your driving lessons, especially if you have eye problems to begin with.
In order to drive a car safely you need to be able to read a number plate in good daylight from a distance of 20.5 metres – around five car lengths.
If you wear glasses or contacts normally then always wear them whilst driving.
What requirements do I need to meet in order to apply to be a taxi driver?
Anyone who is able to work legally in the UK and holds a full UK driver’s licence can learn to be a taxi driver.
Other requirements include:
- Getting a criminal record check
- A medical test
- Taking a eye sight test
- A knowledge test to prove you have geographical skills
How long will it take to do my Pass Plus?
Your Pass Plus training will take at least six hours, although it can take longer if your instructor feels it is necessary.
Is an Intensive Driving course going to be right for me?
An Intensive Driving course lives up to its name – intensive! From this perspective an Intensive Driving course may not be for everyone but the positives far out weight the negatives.
As a student taking an Intensive Driving course you will be taking in a lot of information from day one and this can help you to get real hands on experience. As you may take your test within days, this information will be fresh in your mind.
