Struggling with the theory test? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to prepare alone either.
At Ministry of Driving, our Group Theory Workshop is designed to make learning the rules of the road clearer, more engaging, and far less stressful. Instead of staring at an app on your own, you’ll learn in a relaxed, supportive group environment where questions are encouraged and explanations actually make sense.
Whether you’re just starting your revision or you’ve had an unsuccessful attempt before, this workshop offers practical guidance, clear explanations, and confidence-building support to help you approach your theory test feeling prepared and in control.
Based in Eastbourne, the workshop will focus on real-world understanding — not just memorising answers — so the knowledge stays with you when you’re out on the road.
You’ve passed your driving test — congratulations! 🎉
But becoming a confident, capable driver doesn’t stop on test day.
At Ministry of Driving, We offer the Pass Plus course to help newly qualified drivers build on their existing skills and feel more confident in a wider range of real-world driving situations.
Pass Plus is a practical driving course developed by the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). It’s designed to extend your experience beyond standard lessons, reduce risk on the road, and — with some insurers — may help lower your car insurance premium.
The Pass Plus course covers six key driving modules, mostly conducted in Eastbourne and the surrounding areas, and focuses on situations you may not have encountered during your initial training:
Each module is taught in real driving conditions, with calm, clear guidance in friendly non pressured environment. The focus is on building confidence, improving decision-making, and helping you feel relaxed and in control — no pressure, just practical experience that makes a real difference.
Pass Plus is ideal if you want to:
Thinking of becoming a taxi or private hire driver? At Ministry of Driving, I offer tailored driving tuition in Eastbourne and the surrounding areas, designed to help you meet the higher driving standards expected for taxi and private hire licensing.
