I had a fantastic experience with this driving school! My instructor, Sajid, was incredibly patient, clear, and supportive throughout every lesson. He explained everything in a way that made driving feel much less intimidating, and his tips were spot-on for the test. Thanks to Sajid’s guidance, I passed my driving test with confidence.

I started using Cosmo School of Motoring in June, and I have recently passed my test in October 1st time. Sajid was the most patient driving instructor I've ever had, as I was a nervous learner. His calm approach really helped settle my nerves and he gave me confidence to be able to drive. His knowledge and the way he teaches you is second to none and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. I highly rate him, and would recommend him to absolutely any one. Thank you so much!

I am a doctor by profession and currently working in different hospitals. I started as an absolute beginner with Cosmo School of Motoring in May this year and passed my test in Atherton test centre on 6th September 2025. I am grateful to Sajid who not only taught me very well but also encouraged me a lot through out my whole training. Despite having only a short amount of time before my test, he tailored the lessons perfectly to my needs, focused on the areas I needed most, and built up my confidence quickly. Sajid was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout my lessons. With my busy and sometimes unpredictable schedule, he was always flexible in arranging lesson times that worked for me, which made the whole process much less stressful. Thanks a lot to Cosmo School of Motoring.

Highly recommend Mr. Sajid for his exceptional knowledge, patience and professionalism as a competent driving instructor. He not only helped me pass my driving test but also made a confident driver. His instructional approach, relatable guidance and empathetic nature is what made me feel comfortable and receptive as a learner driver. I am super happy with my experience and will recommend him to all new learner drivers any day!

I couldn't have asked for a better instructor — highly recommend!

Common questions

Do you teach nervous drivers in Swinton? Regularly. We start in quiet residential areas, keep the first lessons short if that helps, and only move to busier roads when you say you are ready.

Do I need a provisional licence before my first lesson? Yes. You need a valid UK provisional licence with you in the car, and you must be able to read a number plate from 20 metres, with glasses or lenses if you use them. Apply on GOV.UK, it usually takes about a week.

What does the assessment lesson cost? The assessment lesson is £25 for one hour, one time only, normally £35. After that, lessons are £35 an hour, or £340 for a block of ten. There is no joining fee.

What if I need to cancel? Cancellations with at least 48 hours notice are moved free of charge. Short notice cancellations are charged for the booked time, since the slot cannot be filled.
