Services
Standard driving lessons in a manual car starting between 8am and finishing 8pm during the working week. Some instructors offer weekend lessons. We have a limited amount of courses available therefore some course dates will be removed as they are booked up. Prices may change for the courses displayed. However once your course is reserved your price is guaranteed. Use the contact form to get in touch and reserve your course now.
Learn to drive easily and choose either our regular automatic driving lessons or intensive courses spread over 5, 7,10 or 14 days. Currently we offer automatic driving lessons in Leicester only. We can normally find spaces in our schedule for regular weekly lessons but remember to book early if you want one of our popular 30 or 40 hour semi/intensive driving courses.
The truth about so called "Guaranteed Pass" Intensive Driving Courses and "Money Back Guarantees". Let's start with an indisputable fact. No driving instructor or driving school can guarantee a pupil a driving test pass - even if they say they can! In recent years more driving schools appear to be using potentially misleading phrases in their marketing such as "guaranteed pass driving course" or "guaranteed driving test pass".
Gautam Sheth is a fully qualified driving instructor in Oadby. Gautam offers intensive driving courses in 10, 20, and 30 hour formats. The courses can be spread over longer periods if you wish, thereby benefiting from the discounted prices. Below are some typical examples of the time-frames many customers opt for, but not set in stone.

I have recently moved to UK and was allowed to drive car upto 1 year on my international driving license. So I have a mandatory to clear driving exams within a year's time. Unfortunately, I cannot start this process until I complete 185 days in this country and rest of 6 months is too short to close the entire process (written & practice exams). I approached Gautam to help me on practice test in 11th month.
I have been driving from last 15+ years and all I needed was to unlearn the bad things and he was amazing in coaching me on the same. I strongly recommend him & Driving Innovation center. Sriram

I would absolutely recommend Driving Innovation to anyone learning to drive! I initially was learning with another instructor from a different company and was finding driving really difficult and had little confidence. Since switching to Gautam I found driving a COMPLETELY different experience. Due to his patience and support he made me feel so much more confident and I progressed so much in such a short time! Thank you Gautam for all your time, dedication and making the whole experience feel so personal, it really is appreciated

I passed my driving test today with the support of Gautam. I'm blessed to have such a patient, kind and professional instructor, who taught me and guided me with different strategies all the way. I'm not a smart person, but he always knows some good ways to make me understand the essential techniques. He gave me handy tips for my theory test and he showed me how to drive safely on the road.
He not only teaches the skills I need, but also the right attitudes to be a good driver. He makes me think positively so that I can stay calm and learn from mistakes. I really feel grateful for his teaching. If anyone needs an instructor, I will definitely recommend Gautam.

Gautam is the BEST. I passed my practical driving test yesterday - first time with only 2 minors. He was so supportive in all my lessons, and is so kind and patient. He helped me progress at the perfect rate, not rushing things but also not having too many repetitive lessons. He always made sure I was comfortable with my progress and regularly checked to see if I had any questions. I would always look forward to my lessons and he made me LOVE driving. I feel so much more confident and safer on the road. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Gautam has been an amazing instructor. He is very calm, patient and explains things in the easiest way possible. He is also very good at motivating his students. He made pork pie roundabout so easy to navigate through. I previously had bad experiences with other instructors in Leicester. I would 100% recommend Gautam to anyone looking for driving instructor.

Gautam is a genius driving instructor! I PASSED with no Faults! Back in October 21 I was completely broke due to 2 failures in driving test. I was earlier with another driving institute and kept doing classes but wasnt confident for the next test. We fortunately found Driving innovation site and the reviews were very promissing. By just taking around 7-8 classes with Gautam I was extremely confident in driving.
He made me a good driver not just for passing the test but for lifetime. He will not just take classes but also show the right process to follow for every decision to be taken. Finally I cleared my test with 0 faults and I feel extremely happy and thank infinite to Gautam!

Gautam has been the most wonderful and patient driving instructor that I could have ever hoped for. 5/5 stars doesn't seem enough as he is so lovely, positive and calm. He has taught me so much and has given me so much confidence. I could not possibly recommend him and his company enough. Genuinely THE BEST DRIVING INSTRUCTOR EVER!

Had an absolutely excellent instructor Gautam who I could not recommend more. He was extremely patient when I struggled to pick concepts up, supportive when I was having problems with stress and extremely knowledgeable; there was nothing I felt unprepared for when I went to do the test. His passion for what he does is evident and he always found time for my lessons around my often hectic schedule. Can't thank him enough!

An absolutely brilliant driving school! Highly recommend :)
Gautam is an absolutely brilliant teacher and taught me all the way from zero experience to passing my test today - and despite lockdowns and months away from Leicester he made sure lessons were always available when I got back. One aspect of lessons that Gautam makes clear is that they're not just to pass the test but rather to build a lifelong skill that you will always have, and this comes across in every aspect of learning with him - it's made me feel really comfortable with driving!
I think probably the most important aspect about his approach to lessons is he really cares about your learning and progression above anything else. Before one lesson I had received some bad news and was in a really confused headspace that impacted my driving massively - and halfway into the lesson I was making mistakes I never usually did and I felt like everything was going downhill.
He quickly realized what was up, we stopped the car and he gave me some really good advice and helped me to calm down - and depsite the fact I had used over an hour of his time for the lesson he didn't charge me a penny for it and instead added the hours to my next block of lessons. Thats a teacher that really cares about his students, and thats exactly the teacher Gautam is. I can't recommend Gautam and Driving Innovation enough - an amazing school that sets you up for success in every possible way!

I couldn't recommend Driving Innovation more! Ahead of my test, I booked with Driving Innovation for a practice test. I spoke with Gautum and within moments I was booked. I can honestly say the two lessons I had were invaluable - if this is the level of help I got in two hours, then I can only imagine how fantastic full lesson packages will be, especially for beginners!
The level of knowledge, support and genuine care for the students is unmatched - this is exactly what you need in a driving instructor. They will tailor their lessons and packages to suit you and your learning needs. An absolutely fantastic service

My first experience with Driving Innovation is what led me to use them as a business. I'd emailed a good 10 - 12 companies and enquired into lessons. I emailed each of them with my planned start date and the date of my theory test, it was evident the high quality customer service of this company when I received an email from Driving Innovation just 1 hour after my theory test asking me how I got on.
The ONLY company to have done this. BEST customer service I have seen in a long time! Along came my practical lessons and I had the absolute pleasure of being coached by Kesh. He is the most patient, empathetic and understanding person and it is impossible not to feel calm and relaxed around him. In fact, its impossible to not get along with Kesh full stop!
His attention to detail, honesty and passion for what he does shows. Yesterday I passed my driving test and couldnt be happier. HUGE thank you to both Colin and Kesh for your work an dedication to what you do! Ollie
