We Are The Original 1st Time School of Motoring
1st Time SOM is one of the best known driving schools in south-east London & north-west Kent & we've been established for over 22 years! That's a lot of driving lessons! Over the years we’ve helped over 50,000 people to pass their driving test, gain confidence on the road or simply improve their driving skills. Check out our 'Look Who Just Passed page' to see some of our latest success stories.
With the current economic climate we've noticed an avalanche of new Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) & Potential Driving Instructors (PDIs) on the roads, all offering too-good-to-be-true deals. It's a minefield out there. How do you know which school is worth going with?
Established since 1989, with over twenty two years experience helping
over 50,000 people learn how to drive and pass their test.
We are not a national school with a call centre, we are a friendly LOCAL school
with two fully staffed offices:- One in Plumstead & our brand new second office
in Lewisham, where BSM used to be
At 1st Time we pride ourselves in having vast experience of the industry whilst offering competitively priced driving lessons. We started back in 1989 with just two instructors working around Plumstead, Abbey Wood, Woolwich, Thamesmead & Bexleyheath. We have now grown to over 45 male & female driving instructors in over 90 towns across the south east, which means there’s probably a 1st Time instructor living near you. Check out are areas page or scroll down this page.
We think you'll love having driving lessons with 1st Time SOM but how good are we? We think our track record speaks for itself but don't take our word for it - check out our Look Who Just Passed page to see our latest success stories.
