Yes. Dafydd picks up from home, school, college or work anywhere in Usk (NP15), about 15 minutes from Cwmbran. Popular pickups include Usk town centre, Coleg Gwent, Usk campus, Llanbadoc.
Which test centre should I use from Usk?
Most pupils from Usk test at Newport (Gwent), and some choose Abergavenny. Since 2026 you book and change your own test on GOV.UK, and you can only move it to one of your three nearest centres, so it's worth choosing carefully. Dafydd will help you decide.
How much are driving lessons?
£35 for 1 hour, or 10 hours for £330 as a block. All prices are shown on this page, with nothing hidden.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel or move a lesson in your pupil app up to 48 hours before and you won't be charged. Any card payment goes back to you, and block hours go back into your account.
Do I need to pass my theory test first?
No. You can start lessons as soon as you have your provisional licence, and it often helps with the theory test too.
Can I book my driving test through you?
Not any more. Since May 2026 only learners can book or change their own driving test on GOV.UK. Dafydd will tell you when you're ready and help you pick a date that fits your lessons.
