Residential Courses (no availability until 2025)
Residential courses are designed for students who do not live in Clacton or Harwich areas, but still want to learn to drive with a locally respected driving school.
Pupils can travel the day prior to the course commencing to one of our specifically selected Hotels, and start their lessons on the following day.
Practical driving tests are booked to be taken on the last hour of the course.
