Why Learners Choose Acceler8 Driving School
For over a decade, Acceler8 Driving School has been providing driving lessons in Leicester. Our friendly, DVSA-approved and DBS-checked instructors have helped hundreds of learners gain the skills and confidence to pass their test and enjoy their freedom.
Helping you learn faster and save money in the long run
Over the years, our expert instructors have refined their teaching into a proven method that helps learners pass in fewer lessons, saving time and money. We use a client-centred, coaching approach, so lessons are built around how you learn best, and you’re actively involved in setting goals and reviewing your progress.
Every lesson is structured to build real driving skills – from controlling the car and handling junctions and roundabouts to coping with busy Leicester traffic. Our goal isn’t just to help you pass – it’s to make you a safe, independent driver for life.
Manual & Automatic Driving Instructors Leicester
Looking for a manual or automatic driving instructor in Leicester? At Acceler8 Driving School, you have the choice of learning to drive in either a manual or an automatic car. Manual lessons give you full control of the vehicle and let you drive almost any car once you pass, while automatic lessons take away the clutch and gear changes so you can focus on the road.
Not sure which is right for you? Just ask and we’ll help you decide, or read more about our automatic driving lessons in Leicester.
Who We Teach
Complete Beginners
Never driven before? No problem. We’ll introduce you to the controls and basic skills gradually, helping you build confidence from your very first lesson.
Partly-Trained Learners
Already had some lessons? We’ll assess your current ability and focus on the areas where you need the most improvement.
Nervous Drivers
Feeling anxious is completely understandable. Our calm, patient approach helps you build confidence at a pace that works for you.
Refresher Lessons
Passed your test but haven’t driven for a while? Refresher lessons help you rebuild your confidence and skills before driving on your own again.
Prepare For Your Leicester Driving Test
If your driving test is coming up, we’ll help you spot any areas that need work and get you ready for the demands of the practical test. Our instructors know Leicester’s roads and test conditions well, and we prepare learners for tests at both Cannock Street and Wigston test centres. We also offer mock driving tests, so you can experience a realistic test before the big day and know exactly what to practise.

What Our Students Say
Tariq Habib
Passed on first attempt with Sajid. Couldn't reccomend this school highly enough, professional and enjoyable lessons whilst continuously improving. Would highly reccomend anyone to use this service!
Jamie Marsh
Found the driving experience, second to none. Every lesson Saj made sure I learned something and tested me in the next. The flexibility is always amazing, gave me plenty of days and hours to choose from. Cancellation where simple as well with no hassle. Highly recommended anyone thats looking for a driving instructor to contact him.
Zainab Toure
Oh dear!.. I am so overwhelmed. I honestly thank God for Saj, he came to my aid last minute. The few lessons I had with him were 100% productive. I mean for example, I never understood parallel park with my previous instructors.. but with him, parallel park felt like "a walk in the park", made so easy.. And that was the exact manouvre I got in my test, and was perfect. Saj, thanks so very much, I am honestly grateful. I would recommend Saj over and over. I mean, I am certain I wouldn't have spent so much on driving lessons if I had worked with him first. He is the best. Thanks Saj
Najam Akhtar
Sajid is a very thorough instructor. He taught me very methodically and prepared me for the practical driving test. I passed on my first attempt. He had thoroughly prepared me on the test routes. A lot of structured practice and I am through the test in first attempt. Credit and 5 stars to the brilliant instructor for all his help. All the best Sajid. Best wishes

No – you can start driving lessons as soon as you have your provisional licence. However, you’ll need to pass your theory test before you can book your practical driving test, so we recommend studying for it alongside your lessons and passing it as early as you can.
