Weekly Driving Lessons
Weekly driving lessons are a great way of learning to drive. Our driving instructors offer hourly driving lessons, one and a half or two hour blocks.
Alternatively, you may wish to increase the number of driving lessons per week. You will receive high quality driving instruction on a one to one basis.

Driving Lesson Prices
At DVDS our driving lesson prices are very competitive. We offer the option to pay for your driving lessons on a weekly basis. If you would rather pay for a block booking of 10 hours or more this can be done at a discounted rate.
Meet The Team
At DVDS you can take a look at the driving instructors, take a look at their cars and also read a little about them before your first lesson. All the driving instructors are fully qualified Approved Driving Instructors.

Automatic Driving Lessons
When you decide to have automatic driving lessons it’s important to choose the right driving school. At Dedham Vale Driving School we have Garry, Rick and Kieran who are experienced driving instructors and have taught people to drive in automatic cars for many years.
Intensive Driving Courses
An intensive driving course in Colchester or Clacton is ideal for someone who wants to obtain a full driving licence in a short amount of time. It involves you driving daily with the same driving instructor.

The Best Experience Ever
I have had lessons with Simon for the past 6 months and I enjoyed them all. I managed to pass first time and I cannot thank him enough for getting me to the level I needed to pass as he was patient and incredibly knowledgeable, I one hundred percent recommend learning with him and this driving school!

I just passed my driving test today , I had Hayley as a driving instructor I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Every time I went out to the car I would have a smile on my face. No matter what happened Hayley always took the time and patience to help me. I definitely couldn’t ask for a better driving instructor. I will miss our chats and laughs that we had every driving lesson. But I would definitely recommend Hayley as a driving instructor. Thank you for everything you have done for me!
