# Pass 1st School of Motoring
Pass 1st is an established driving school in Folkestone, founded in 2007 by experienced instructors Kieron Cook and Tom Scotland. They provide professional driving tuition across Folkestone, Dover, Deal, Hawkinge, Hythe and surrounding areas, with over 20 instructors available to accommodate pupils quickly.
The school specializes in both manual and automatic driving lessons, catering to learners of all ages and experience levels. They're particularly renowned for their work with young drivers, offering the Young Drivers Club for 11-17 year olds, reflecting their belief that early driving experience builds safer motorists. Their track record speaks for itself—they claim more passes per month than any other driving school in the Folkestone area.
What distinguishes Pass 1st is their commitment to a relaxed, stress-free learning environment combined with proven teaching methods honed over two decades. They offer genuine choice with multiple instructors and vehicles to select from, ensuring pupils find the right fit for their learning style. Their flexible approach extends to tailored lesson packages; they recently launched a new year offer of £170 for five hours of manual tuition for new learners.
For out-of-catchment pupils seeking tests at their Folkestone centre, Pass 1st maintains high standards, requiring 30+ hours of tuition and previous test attempts before accepting applications. They also provide assessment lessons to ensure pupils reach passing standard. Email is their preferred contact method, with phone lines available Monday-Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday 9am-1pm.
