# Bananas Driver Training
Bananas Driver Training is a driving school operating throughout Edinburgh and West Lothian, covering the Currie and Musselburgh test centres. Based in Tarbrax, the business provides comprehensive driver training for learners and experienced drivers alike.
The school serves learner drivers preparing for their driving tests across Edinburgh's suburbs including Newington, Morningside, Portobello and Craigmillan, as well as West Lothian areas including Livingston, Bathgate, West Calder and surrounding villages. They accommodate multilingual learners, offering lessons in English and Greek through instructor Dimitris Tsiokas.
What distinguishes Bananas Driver Training is its dual-focused approach. For learners, they provide intensive driving lessons using dual-controlled tuition cars. For qualified drivers, Jonathan Smith offers specialist training including confidence building, motorway skills, advanced driving, and professional HGV qualifications. The school uniquely covers fleet assessments, van driving, motorhome and caravan training, minibus operation, and lorry driver instruction.
Both manual and automatic tuition is available. The business also runs driving instructor training and recruitment, positioning itself as an employer within the driving instruction sector. Their commitment extends "all the way to your driving test and beyond," reflecting a philosophy of ongoing driver development rather than one-off test preparation.
