What Are Automatic Driving Lessons?
Automatic driving lessons teach you to drive and pass your test without learning to use a clutch. In each automatic lesson, your instructor sits beside you, talks you through each skill and can brake for you. With no clutch or gears to worry about, automatic lesson time goes on steering, speed, junctions and roundabouts. Automatic driving lessons cover parking and the rest of the driving test, just like manual lessons. Many learners pass in fewer hours in an automatic, which cuts the total cost of learning to drive. Automatic driving lessons in Manchester cost £74 for a 2 hour lesson, or £330 for 10 hours on the Beginner's Special, which costs the same as manual.
Build Better Awareness Behind the Wheel
Automatic lessons allow learners to spend less time managing the vehicle and more time understanding the road around them. In Manchester, where traffic flow changes quickly through busy junctions, city routes and complex road layouts, your instructor helps you develop stronger awareness, smoother decisions and the confidence to handle real driving situations.
Training Shaped Around Your Ability
Every learner has different needs. Our instructors assess your experience, confidence and goals, then create focused automatic lessons covering vehicle control, observations, test preparation and Manchester driving challenges.
Included in Every Automatic Driving Lesson in Manchester
Every automatic driving lesson in Manchester comes with these 6 things as standard, whether you book one lesson or a full course.
DVSA Approved Automatic Instructors
Every automatic lesson is taught by a DVSA approved instructor, never a trainee, in a dual control automatic car.
Door to Door Pick Up
Automatic driving lessons start and finish at your door, with no travel charge anywhere across 30+ Manchester areas.
Same Instructor Every Lesson
Automatic lessons keep one instructor from your very first lesson, so they always know where you left off.
Real Test Routes
Automatic driving lessons practise on the roads, junctions and roundabouts your local Manchester test centre actually uses.
Female Instructor at No Extra Cost
A female automatic instructor is free on request, on any lesson or course, wherever one covers your area.
7 Days a Week, 9am to 8pm
Automatic driving lessons run 7 days a week from 9am to 8pm, which includes early evenings and weekends.
Driving Lessons: Automatic or Manual?
Automatic or manual comes down to the licence: an automatic pass covers automatic cars only, while a manual pass covers both manual and automatic cars. Learners who never expect to drive a manual van, a family manual or a hire car abroad lose nothing by choosing automatic lessons.
| Factors | Automatic | Manual |
|---|---|---|
| Pedals to use | 2 pedals | 3 pedals |
| Gear changes | Done for you | By hand |
| Licence covers | Automatics only | Both types |
| 2 hour lesson | £74 | £72 |
| Intensive courses | Same price | Same price |
| Best for | Quicker learning | Driving anything |

How Automatic Driving Lessons Work
Book Automatic LessonsYour First Automatic Lesson
Your first automatic driving lesson starts on quiet roads, where your instructor explains the 2 pedals, the gear selector and the parking brake, then how to move off safely.
Lessons That Build Up
Later automatic driving lessons build steadily from quiet streets to Manchester's busy junctions, roundabouts and dual carriageways, with no lesson time lost to stalling or changing gear.
Your Automatic Driving Test
Passing the automatic driving test gives you a full car licence marked with code 78, meaning automatic cars only, which the DVLA posts to you after the test.

Automatic Driving Lessons Near Me, Across Greater Manchester
Automatic driving lessons cost the same in every Greater Manchester area, with a DVSA approved automatic instructor who covers your area.
How much are automatic driving lessons in Manchester?
Pay as you go lessons in an automatic cost £74 per 2 hour lesson with Impulse in Manchester, £2 more than manual. The 10 Hour Block Booking costs £350 in an automatic car, £10 more than manual.
Are automatic driving lessons easier than manual?
Automatic driving lessons are usually easier, because there is no clutch, no stalling and no gear changes to learn. The rest of driving, from observations to roundabouts, is exactly the same, and the automatic driving test checks every part of it just as strictly as the manual test.
Can I drive a manual car if I pass in an automatic?
No, passing in an automatic gives a licence for automatic cars only, and driving a manual on it is illegal and voids your insurance. To drive manual cars later, you need to pass a second practical test, this time in a manual car.
How many automatic driving lessons do I need?
The DVSA average is around 45 hours of lessons, and many learners need a little less in an automatic because there is no clutch to master. Your instructor gives you an honest estimate after your first automatic lesson.
How much is an automatic intensive driving course in Manchester?
An automatic intensive driving course in Manchester costs from £375 for the 6 Hour Course to £1,995 for the 40 Hour Course, the same as manual. The 20 Hour Course at £1,195 is the most popular choice, and is enough for most learners with a little experience.
Are there automatic driving lessons near me?
Yes, Impulse teaches automatic driving lessons across 30+ areas of Greater Manchester, from Cheetham Hill and Didsbury to Bolton, Bury and Chadderton. Your instructor picks you up from home, work or college, and no part of Greater Manchester pays a travel charge.
How do I find automatic driving instructors near me?
Tell Impulse your postcode and you are matched with a DVSA approved automatic driving instructor who covers your area, with availability confirmed before you book. Learners who prefer a female instructor can ask for one at no extra cost.
Can I take my driving test in an automatic car?
Yes, the DVSA practical test can be taken in an automatic, with the same routes, manoeuvres and marking as a manual test. Test day car hire in your instructor's automatic costs £110, or is included on intensive courses and the Guaranteed Pass Course.
Are automatic driving classes the same as automatic driving lessons?
Yes, automatic driving classes and automatic driving lessons mean the same thing in the UK, where one to one lessons with an instructor are the norm. Every Impulse automatic driving class is one to one in a dual control car.
Can I pay for automatic driving lessons monthly?
Yes, every automatic driving course except pay as you go lessons can be split into monthly Payl8r payments at checkout, with no credit check to apply. A pay as you go lesson is paid in full at booking, with no balance to spread.
