Take A QuizImpulse Driving School is based at Spaces, 2 Oxford St, Manchester M1 5AN, rated 5.0 from 550+ Google reviews. Our city centre base keeps instructors within reach of the training routes and all seven test centres we prepare learners for.
(opens in a new tab)Impulse driving lessons start at £33 an hour on the 10 hour Beginner's Special, which is £330. Pay As You Go is £72 per 2 hour lesson, or £74 automatic. A 20 hour block booking costs £660 and saves £60, and intensive driving courses start at £375.
The DVSA average is around 45 hours of professional tuition plus private practice, and automatic learners often need fewer. Manchester's tram crossings, ring roads and multi lane roundabouts add real complexity, so we start with a 2 hour assessment lesson and give you an honest hours estimate, not a guess.
Most learners start within a week of getting in touch. Send us your postcode and we'll come back with real instructor availability in your area, including evening and weekend slots. If your preferred instructor is booked up, we'll tell you straight away rather than leave you waiting.
Yes, both, 7 days a week from 9am to 8pm. Pay As You Go is £72 manual or £74 automatic, and a 10 hour block booking is £340 or £350. The Beginner's Special, intensive courses and Guaranteed Pass cost the same whichever you choose.
It depends where you learn. We prepare learners for Bolton, Bredbury, Bury, Chadderton, Cheetham Hill, West Didsbury and Sale. Bolton's pass rate was 56.7% in 2024/25 and Cheetham Hill's is 54.9%, both above the 48.7% national average, while Impulse learners pass first time at 93%.

Yes. Refresher driving lessons for full licence holders cost £80 for 2 hours or £150 for 4 hours over 2 days, manual or automatic. Pass Plus is £290 for 6 hours over 2 to 3 days, covering town, rural, night, dual carriageway and motorway driving, and it can reduce your insurance premium.
Yes. Your first lesson is an assessment on quiet roads covering the controls, moving off and stopping, and nothing more. Every car is dual control, so your instructor can step in instantly, and you only move on to busier roads when you're ready.

Cheap driving lessons in Manchester usually mean 1 hour slots, shared cars or a meeting point you travel to. Ours are 2 hour lessons at £33 an hour on the Beginner's Special, one to one, with door to door pick up and no travel surcharge. Block booking lowers it further, and every price is published in full.
We prepare learners for 7 test centres: Bolton, Bredbury, Bury, Chadderton, Cheetham Hill, West Didsbury and Sale. As your test approaches, your driving tuition moves onto the routes your centre uses, with mock tests marked to DVSA standard, so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar.
