Here at Lifetime, we’re all fully qualified DVSA Approved Driving Instructors. We’re from various backgrounds but we’ve all got one thing in common, which is not only to get you to pass your driving test but to get you driving safe for your life. We cover Bolton and due to exceptionally high pass rates and recommendations we have now expanded into Bury and Ramsbottom and offer discounts for block bookings for those who wish to do so. We have male AND female instructors so you will definitely find an instructor with us who will help you relax, have fun and enjoy your experience of learning to drive – this instructor will stay with you until you pass your test and all our instructors are fully DBS checked. As a driving school, we have very impressive first time pass rates and plenty of experience in driving tests as our very own Lynne Fitzharris (owner of Lifetime and fully qualified ORDIT registered DVSA approved driving instructor) worked for the DVSA for 27 years as an Assistant Chief Driving Examiner in which part of her role was to actually conduct driving tests. Interesting fact…Lynne has conducted well over 30,000 driving tests during her time with the DVSA, most of these being carried out at Bolton Driving Test Centre, so to quote Lynne “there ain’t much about driving tests and how to pass that I don’t know”!!! Lynne’s extensive knowledge has been passed on to all our instructors here at Lifetime as we are all internally trained by the oracle herself!!!…so you can be assured that the training you receive is unique, extremely accurate, modern and up to date with the new driving test requirements.

Ruth has been an incredible driving instructor!! I had lessons with her for about a year before I passed my test first time with only 3 faults. I was a very nervous driver to start with, but Ruth was always very encouraging and calm. I truly don’t think I could have passed with any other instructor. I’ve already been recommending her to my friends, and in a few years time my siblings will definitely be learning with her!!

The best driving instructor- Roger

From my first lesson roger made me feel very comfortable in car and calmed my nerves straight away. He is the best of the best. He was very patient with me and made learning to drive and fun experience and always made sure i had a smile on my face. And today thanks to his wonderful help i passed my test. I would highly recommend anyone that needs a driving instructor that roger is the one.

the best driving instructor

When I started my lessons with Roger I’d previously had bad experiences with another company which caused me to be a extremely nervous learner. From my first lesson with Roger, He instantly calmed my nerves and over time i over came my fears. He is very patient and Understanding of all different levels of ability. Today I passed my driving test and that’s thanx to Roger and his kindness. I would very highly recommended him to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive. Thank you so much Roger :)

I switched instructors to Carin following a nerve wracking experience with a previous instructor.
She helped me so much with calming my nerves and self belief and I have finally passed with 4 minors.
I really enjoyed learning with Carin and will miss our lessons! I am so pleased I am finally a driver!
Thanks again Carin!

Excellent instructor. Highly recommend!

My instructor was Roger and I couldn’t of asked for anyone better! From the first time meeting Roger, when he came to introduce himself to me and my parents, I knew we would get on well-which was proven throughout my journey. From the start Roger was always reassuring and helped me to become comfortable in the car, whilst keeping a smile on my face every lesson! I was always happy getting ready for a lesson with Roger as I knew we would have a good laugh whilst learning everything I needed to know and more. I would highly recommend Roger as a driving instructor!

Carin review

I had Carin as my driving instructor for automatic and she was excellent. I previously had a negative experience with an instructor from a different company, and so changed to lifetime driving standards looking for a more supportive approach. Carin definitely provided that, as she taught me well without raising her voice or telling me off even if I made a large mistake. She always kept calm and never got angry with me, eventually helping me pass my test. I am very grateful for her because otherwise I may have decided not to continue driving because of my bad experiences before she taught me.

The best instructor out there

The best instructor out there! My experience with driving hasn’t been easy failing 2 times before hand although he stayed true with me until then end and didn’t give up on me. Would recommend to anyone who is starting there driving and feels nervous as he is a trustworthy and polite fella who cares truly on your progression and his pupils. Thankyou roger

Carin was a fantastic instructor who enabled me to pass first time, which is proof of the excellent service. Lessons were all very professional and she is very calm (Amazing considering the amount I stalled in our early lessons). The extra reading material provided and reflections at the end of the lessons were very useful. I now feel very confident with my driving and know that I am safe on the road. The lessons went above and beyond what I had expected and covered all aspects of driving, maintenance and safety. Would 100% recommend Carin if you're looking for an instructor in the North Manchester area 👍
