# Moose Driving
Moose Driving is a specialist driving instructor service based in Nottingham, offering manual transmission lessons through DVSA-approved instructors Angelica and Ellyn. The business caters to learner drivers across the wider Nottingham area, from West Bridgford and Clifton to Arnold and Carlton, providing comprehensive driving instruction with an emphasis on manual gearbox proficiency—enabling learners to drive both manual and automatic vehicles upon passing their test.
What distinguishes Moose Driving is their dual focus on technical excellence and emotional support. Beyond standard tuition, they offer anxiety therapy for nervous drivers through Chris Allsopp, a certified therapist and approved driving instructor. This addresses the significant barrier of driving anxiety that prevents many learners from progressing.
The business demonstrates genuine quality through industry recognition. Chris Allsopp holds multiple accolades including the 2026 Intelligent Instructor Silver Award for Special Educational Needs provision, a Bronze award for driving instruction in the East Midlands, and featured in the Top 100 instructors list. He was also named 2024 East Midlands winner and National Runner-Up in the National Instructor Awards.
Rather than operating as isolated instructors, Moose Driving supports driving professionals through their franchise programme, handling administrative burden and CPD requirements so instructors can focus on teaching. Their instructor network prioritises quality outcomes, maintaining standards significantly higher than the DVSA minimum requirements.
