Ashanti Driving School

Ashanti Driving School: driving school in South London

Ashanti Driving School is a driving school based in South London that provides driving lessons with DVSA-approved instructors. The school presents itself as a dynamic and well-established option in the area, with qualified instructors across the city and a stated track record of over 15 years of experience. Its activity focuses on preparing students for the DVSA practical test, combining technical training with specific work on confidence behind the wheel.

Teaching method and approach to lessons

The school's approach is built on three pillars described on its website: building confidence, having highly qualified instructors and maintaining individualised attention. To this end, it states that it creates a pressure-free environment in which the student receives positive feedback and feels comfortable before driving on their own. Instructors follow structured lesson plans and proven methods, and the school notes that it takes into account feedback from students and family members to improve continuously. Lessons are one-to-one, so the instructor can tailor each session to the student's pace and needs.

Courses and programmes available

The driving school's catalogue includes several types of training:

• Beginner lessons: aimed at those starting out in driving.
• Intensive course: designed to bring the practical test date forward; the school recommends it to those who have already passed the theory test and have previous experience behind the wheel.
• Refresher course: aimed at people who have driven before or are resuming lessons and want to regain confidence.
• Motorway driving lessons (Pass Plus): a programme that improves driving skills, reduces risks and can lower insurance, with no exam.

The website also mentions specific preparation for the practical test and the possibility of booking lessons at short notice.
