Practical Driving Lessons In Wrexham
Andrew’s Driving School offers calm, well-structured driving lessons in Wrexham, helping you build confidence on the same roads you’ll be driving on every day.
Driving Lessons in Wrexham
Whether you’re starting from scratch or getting ready for test day, our driving lessons in Wrexham follow a clear, step-by-step plan so you keep improving week by week. You’ll build confidence naturally, with lessons based around the roads and situations you’re most likely to come across on your test.
Complete beginners often start in calmer areas that are ideal for learning basic car control, including the Wrexham Industrial Estate and quieter spots around Llay, Little Acton, and the Rhosddu industrial areas. Once the basics feel comfortable, we move onto “confidence-building routes” like the Sontley and Squire Yorke estates, plus Garden Village on the outskirts of Wrexham, where you’ll start handling more real-world traffic and decision-making.
We cover Wrexham and nearby areas, including Rhosddu, Gwersyllt, Rhostyllen, and Ruabon.
As you progress, lessons are built around local routes that prepare you properly for busier conditions, including the Wrexham town centre and key roundabouts like Gresford, the B&Q Roundabout, and Rhostyllen. We’ll also practise joining and leaving the A483 dual carriageway, so higher-speed driving feels familiar long before test day.
Manoeuvres are usually taught in surrounding villages where the roads are ideal for practise, including hill starts, angled starts, and parking exercises. With recent test changes, forward and reverse bay parking is often practised in public car parks such as B&Q or Morrisons (Ruthin Road, Wrexham), just like you may experience on your test.
We also include rural routes such as Bersham, Ffrwd, and the Moss Valley, each adding new challenges and helping you become a safer, more well-rounded driver.
The Driving Test Format
All tests now follow the latest DVSA test format, which includes a section where you’ll drive under sat nav directions provided by the examiner. We use the same device in lessons (the TomTom Start 52), so you can practise with it beforehand and feel confident using it on test day.
Wrexham’s roads can be demanding, with busy city centre driving, higher-speed routes on fast national speed limit roads as well as the A483 dual carriageway, and challenging roundabouts. Passing your test here is a real achievement and a strong sign that you’ve reached a high standard, giving you the confidence to drive safely anywhere in the UK.

Learn by Driving, Not Waiting
We keep lessons moving. From lesson one, you’ll spend more time driving and less time parked up. Each session is structured to make the most of your time, so you leave every lesson knowing exactly what you’ve improved and what you’re working on next.
How long should I book for my first driving lesson?
For your first driving lesson, we usually recommend booking 1.5 hours.
That gives you enough time to:
-
Get comfortable with the car and controls
-
Learn the basics without feeling rushed
-
Do some proper driving, not just the setup
A 1-hour lesson can feel a bit tight at the start, especially if you’re new to driving. With 1.5 hours, there’s time to settle in, make real progress, and finish the lesson feeling confident.
After your first session, your instructor can advise what lesson length will work best for you going forward.
How often should I have driving lessons?
Most learners make the best progress with 1–2 driving lessons per week.
Regular lessons help you build confidence, remember what you’ve learned, and keep improving without needing to re-cover old ground. Long gaps between lessons can slow things down, while consistent practice keeps everything feeling familiar and manageable.
Your instructor can always adjust the frequency to suit your schedule, budget, and how quickly you’re picking things up.

If you’re based in Wrexham, the simplest option is usually the

What will happen on my first driving lesson?
On your first driving lesson in Wrexham, your instructor will usually start in a quieter residential area such as Acton, Borras, Garden Village, or parts of Llay or Ruabon where traffic is lighter and there’s space to settle in. You’ll begin with the cockpit drill, setting up your seat, steering position, and mirrors correctly. Most importantly, you’ll be driving on your very first lesson, guided clearly and at a pace that feels comfortable and confidence-building. Rest assured, our instructors know all the best local spots for a first lesson and will choose an area that suits you perfectly.
