You cannot book a residential course until you have passed your theory!

If you have not, this can be booked via the DSA and taken in your own area.
To book a theory test you can ring 0300 200 11 22 or book online.



Residential courses are designed for students who do not live in Colchester or Clacton but still want to learn to drive with a locally respected driving school.

Pupils can travel at the end of a week to one of our specifically selected Bed & Breakfasts, and start their lessons on the Monday. Practical tests are booked to be taken on the last hour of your course.

If you choose Clacton On Sea as your required area you will stay in one of our local hotels on a Bed & Breakfast basis with upgrades available on request. These are all situated a short walk from the train station.

The seafront and town centre are only minutes away and offer bars and restaurants for your evening entertainment. The West Cliff or The Princess Theatres are also only a short walk away so you could take in a show or have fun on the pier in your free time.

There is also the advantage of being able to take a quiet stroll along the award winning beach to reflect and unwind after a busy day.
