Based in Alfreton (Derbyshire) we cover the surrounding areas from South Normanton and Somercotes up to and including Clay Cross and Holmewood. Feel free to drop us a message to check if we will come to you.

We use both Chesterfield and Ashfield DVSA Test Centres: Chesterfield DVSA Test Centre Bus Depot Approach Road Stonegravels Ln Chesterfield S41 7LT and DVSA Test Centre (Ashfield) Sutton-in-Ashfield NG17 5LA

Yes, we do. Your instructor can grant you free access to a full theory test suite called Theory Test Pro. We also provide theory test lessons (details can be found at https://www.overthehillsdrivingacademy.co.uk/lessons-1)

You must bring your valid UK provisional driving licence and wear your glasses/contact lenses if they are required. (You must be able to read a number plate from 20 metres away).

The DVLA suggests that the average number of hours required to pass your driving test is around 45 hours of lessons with a driving instructor, supplemented by 20 hours of supervised practice with family or friends. This is an average figure, Over The Hills Driving Academy is aware that some pupils will be ready for test more quickly and others might require more hours in order to learn the skills to enable safe driving for life. We find one of the most important factors is lesson consistency.
