# Bob Thorpe Driver Training
Bob Thorpe Driver Training is an established driving instruction business based in Saint Leonards-on-Sea, operating since 1989. As a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor with a Grade A Standards Check, Bob Thorpe brings over 25 years of hands-on experience teaching learner drivers throughout Hastings, St Leonards and the surrounding area.
The business caters to a diverse clientele, from complete beginners to experienced drivers seeking refresher tuition. Their client-centred approach focuses on building safe driving habits and consolidating learning goals, which translates into lower accident risk and potentially reduced insurance premiums for graduates.
What sets Bob Thorpe apart is their comprehensive service offering beyond standard driving lessons. They provide PassPlus courses designed to reduce insurance costs for new drivers, specialist taxi test preparation, and D1 minibus driver training for those seeking the full entitlement. Their high reputation is evident from their current policy of not accepting new students due to demand from existing clients, particularly those preparing for tests.
The business demonstrates genuine added value through strategic partnerships. They've aligned with Driving Test Success for theory test preparation and National Tyres for vehicle maintenance at preferential rates. They also facilitate learner driver insurance through Collingwood, offering flexible short-term policies from 7 days to 24 weeks for those practising in their own or borrowed vehicles.
Payment flexibility is prioritised, accepting cash, all major debit and credit cards, and PayPal with no additional charges. This accessible approach, combined with their proven track record and specialist offerings, makes Bob Thorpe a trusted choice for serious learner drivers.
