Driving Lessons in Carlisle - Start from the age of 14 to any age.
It's quite a scary place to learn to drive on today's busy road systems, especially with Carlisle's one way system - so why don't you start somewhere safer, with no traffic, so that you can learn to control a car before testing the roads.
New Starters Driving School has access to a full 60 hectare site with large tarmac area and road layout, just on the outskirts of Carlisle.
We can teach you how to set off safely, pull up safely, steer correctly, use the gears and clutch, engine breaking and even how to do a hill start all on your first lesson. With as little risk as possible as there's no other traffic.
You can come back and learn how to do T junctions and all your manouvers before risking the roads.
Our driving instructor, Stephen Philipson, is a fully qualified, DBS checked, DVSA approved driving instructor. He has been teaching for over 5 years with an excellent pass rate. So if you want, we would love it if you stayed with us when you venture out on the highways.

We would love you to share your experiences you've had with New Starters Driving School.
Amy Jane Cleminson
Well done to Amy who passed her test today first time today from your instructor Stephen.
When looking for an instructor Amy wanted someone who was easy going and patient. Compared to what she initially thought Amy found everything alot easier and her instructors teaching methods were brilliant. When asked about recommendations Amy said she would definately recommend us as she couldn't fault her instructor and everything was 100%.
Congratulations Amy and we wish you safe driving for life from all at new starters driving school.
Jessica Stothers
Big thank you to Matt for being my instructor these past few months, considering I was a nervous driver and had zero confidence at the start, he built me up and has been so patient with me. I passed my test first time, couldn't have done it without him!
Lewis Pearce
Congratulations Lewis who passed first time with our intensive days in Carlisle with Stephen Philipson.
Lewis was recommended from his sister who had previously passed with Stephen as she said he came highly recommended and he had already heard positive things about new starters driving school. When learning to drive Lewis said it wasnt as nerve racking as he had thought it would be and he felt at ease with his instructors teaching methods and found Stephen to be an excellent instructor. Lewis has already been recommending new starters because of the service he received and excellent experience.
Thank you Lewis for your review of our services.

Congratulations Sarah on your test pass with John Collins.
Sarah started her driving on our pre learner driving site in Houghton and said that this was an important factor when choosing and instructor as well as that they had to be pleasant. When learning to drive Sarah added that there is alot more to it than she had initially thought but found her instructors teaching methods were excellent and she really enjoyed her experience.
Well done Sarah and we look forward to seeing you out and about on the roads.

Ivo Alves
Ivo Alves Passed with John Collins at New starters driving school, he reviewed us and said...................
When looking for a driving instructor Ivo wanted an instructor that was patient, other important factors were that he did not want to learn in a car with hill assist because he wanted to be able to learn to control his biting point. When learning to drive ivo said it was much better and easier than he had expected and that Johns teaching methods and tips were always clear . Ivo would definately recommend New starters driving school because versatility of the instructor was spot on, he couldnt think of anything to improve on.
Jack Watson
Well done to Jack Watson on passing his test with new starters driving school, we asked jack if he could review us and he had this to say.
When choosing an instructor the most important criteria was the reviews that He had seen and heard about the instructor. When learning to drive he said that his instructor had made it much easier than he had expected it to be and found his teaching methods amazing. We asked Jack if he was likely to recommend us he said yes, because his instructor John Collins was good with explaining and helping when he was struggling. We asked if there was anything he would improve about our service and Jack answered that there was nothing he would improve on.
Well done Keavy
Well done Keavy for passing her driving test today!

Congratulations Holly on your test pass with new starters instructor John Collins.
When looking for an instructor Holly wanted somewhere that she could learn before going out onto the road systems to build her confiidence and somewere with good reviews, other important factors when choosing an instructor was the location. Holly started with us on our off road/pre learner site in Houghton Carlisle. When learning to drive Holly found that it wasnt as scary as she had initially thought and she found her instructors teaching methods very good, she felt safe when driving and her anxiety passed. Holly added she would recommend new starters as were a friendly bunch.
