Ipswich & Springfield's driving school
Driving Lessons Ipswich and Springfield Learners rate
Ipswich and Springfield are really two drives in one. One lesson you're reading roundabout after roundabout around Orion at Springfield Central and the newer estate streets of Ripley and Spring Mountain; the next you're doing hill starts and tight parks on the older, heritage streets of the Ipswich CBD. Our instructors live and teach in these suburbs, so you practise where you'll actually drive, not a quiet cul-de-sac across town.
Start from scratch in automatic, go for a full manual licence, or lock in a test-day package when you're close. Every RAC lesson is a modern dual-controlled car, a fully accredited instructor, and a pickup from your door. Learning and test readiness depend on your experience, practice and progress. Discuss a lesson plan and your preferred transmission with your instructor.

What our learners say
Real Learners, real Licences.
Read learner feedback published by RAC. Your Ipswich or Springfield instructor is held to the same standard. RAC learner feedback
"I've driven with several instructors over the years, but Kevin stands out as the most patient and knowledgeable by far… I passed my driving test on my first attempt."
"I passed my test with Julie like a breeze! After failing 3 times with previous instructors and a lot of nerves behind me, Julie really helped build my confidence and made me feel at ease behind the wheel."
"I had my test package with Abdul… very professional, very knowledgeable. I wasted money with another driving instructor previously, this was better service and better value for money."
"Booking my exam and instructor was so easy compared to the other websites… As Noel said, 'I won't teach you how to pass a simple exam, I will teach you how to drive.'"
"Had a fantastic experience with the instructor James. He is very patient and knowledgeable… he adapts his teaching to their learning style."
"Amazing experience with this driving school. Lots of reminders about payments and lessons… the website is so easy to use. Nichole is a great teacher, so kind, patient and reassuring!"
