The Face Behind the Wheel
Hi, I’m Craig, the founder and primary instructor at Start 2 Pass Driving School. As a DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI), I bring years of experience navigating the roads of the Amman Valley to every lesson.
My goal isn't just to help you pass a driving test—it's to help you become a safe, confident driver for life. I believe that learning to drive should be an empowering experience, which is why I focus on a personalized, student-centered approach

Specialist Local Knowledge
We proudly serve Ammanford and the surrounding areas. To ensure you are fully prepared for the big day, we specialize in the specific training routes around the Carmarthen Test Centre. From mastering the roundabouts in Cross Hands to navigating the quiet lanes of Llandybie, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Your First Lesson: What to Expect
Starting your driving journey can be a mix of excitement and nerves. At Start 2 Pass Driving School, we ensure your very first session is calm, structured, and productive.
Door-to-Door Service: I will pick you up from your home, work, or college in Ammanford or the surrounding areas.
Licence & Eyesight Check: We will start with a quick check of your provisional licence and a simple eyesight test to ensure you can read a number plate from 20.5 metres.
The Controls: Whether you choose the Manual Renault Clio or the Automatic Renault Zoe, I will walk you through the cockpit drill so you feel comfortable with the seat, mirrors, and pedals.
Your First Drive: We won’t head straight for busy junctions. We will find a quiet local road where you can practice moving off and stopping safely at your own pace.
Progress Tracking: Before we finish, we will log your first session on the GoRoadie app so you can see your starting progress immediately.
