1st Gear Intensive Driving Courses have instructors living in and around the Sittingbourne area. Over the years we have had many students take and pass intensive driving courses with us from Sittingbourne and our instructors through this have a very good knowledge of both the test routes used by nearest driving test centres (Gillingham, Maidstone and Herne Bay) as well as knowing the best practise routes in the area to enable you to get the best out of your lessons with us.
Before taking your driving test you need to have passed your theory test and therefore before booking your intensive course we strongly recommend that you have completed your theory test. The nearest theory test centre to Sittingbourne is in Chatham (view in Google maps) and you can find out more about the driving theory test through the following links:
- Book your driving theory test
- DSA driving theory test overview
- Driving theory test postcode search
- Theory Test Pro (contact us to activate an account)
- Driving test costs
Once you have passed your theory test then the next stage is to contact us. We generally recommend you book an assessment lesson with us before booking a full course. This gives you an opportunity to get to know your instructor as well as giving our instructor an opportunity to give you an honest assessment of your current driving skills and how long a course they suggest.
As you will be having your lessons in the Sittingbourne area the nearest practical test centres are in Gillingham (view in Google maps), Maidstone (view in Google maps) and Herne Bay (view in Google maps). Please let us know where you would like to take your test as then the course can be tailored to include some of the potential test routes you will have in your test. Having the chance to practise on the routes you will be taking during your driving test is very important. If for some reason you would like to take your test at another location then please let us know when booking. If required then your instructor will be happy to help you book your test.
