Lessons for Learners



Our Red manual training car at the Skid Centre in Knockhill Here at The Smart Way our driving instructors are able to quickly and easily teach you how to become a safe and efficient driver, and therefore to pass your driving test.

Our courses of driving lessons offer structured training at prices that represent excellent value for money, regardless of your age or experience, all delivered at a pace that suit YOU.

Not only are our instructors are committed to offering you the best training possible in the car, but we use unique study sheets to follow up on lessons for revision and to guide you towards your theory test. There are also practice quiz sheets to help reinforce learning.

Your instructor will maintain detailed student progress records for both you and us to monitor your progress so that between us we can plan your progress to your practical driving test in the most efficient time (and by extension cost) possible.

I am also pleased to announce that as of October 2008 we have been able to add an automatic car to our range. If you are interested in driving lessons in an automatic car, click this link or see the link to the left in the main navigator bar.

When can I get lessons?

Our instructors offer driving lessons at a wide variety of times: during the day, in the evenings and at weekends, although outside office hours lessons are always popular so please feel free to call us to discuss your need and our availability.

Driving lessons are a minimum of an hour long and where possible we recommend two hour long lessons for the best progress. However we appreciate that this is not always possible or practical. We will tailor lessons to fit YOUR available time (and budget).

Do you teach in my area?

Our primary teaching areas for learner drivers are currently:

  • the whole of West Lothian, Livingston, Bathgate, Linlithgow, Armadale etc.

  • the whole of Fife

  • and the west side of Edinburgh

However at times we do teach outside of these areas, especially if we already have students in your area. Please contact us on 07711 336452 to tell us where you are and we can see if we can do anything to accommodate your requirements - after all, we do have transport! 

We offer a full door to door service, you can be picked up at any location within our teaching area and dropped off at the same place, or any another (within reasonable return traveling for the instructor). For example, why not get picked up at work and dropped off at home, or vice-versa?

Will I have the same instructor for all my lessons?

The best progress is generally made by maintaining continuity between instructor and student as much as possible, therefore unless you need to change your lesson time or day significantly you can expect to keep the same instructor all the way through your course of lessons with us. Should YOU wish to change instructors for some reason, just call me and I will arrange to do this if I can (This will also be dependent on other instructors being available).

Additionally, part of making the best progress is the discipline of having lessons at the same time each week. For this reason we ALWAYS make our best efforts to give you the same lesson "slot" from week to week.

I really need to pass my test quickly

I like what I have read, how much will it cost me?

We constantly monitor our lesson prices to ensure that we remain competitive. Check out our prices page to see our current prices, but in addition we make a price promise to you. If our cost increase (fuel price rises etc) and we are forced to put our lesson prices up to our new students, we will NOT increase our prices to you.  For us, an agreement is an agreement.
