    All three centres

    Bishopbriggs, Baillieston and Airdrie — wherever your test lands, Andy already teaches there.

    Lessons cover Kirkintilloch and Lenzie, Waterside, Auchinloch, Torrance, Milton of Campsie and the wider East Dunbartonshire area, with pupils sitting their test at the Bishopbriggs Test Centre. Whether you're a complete beginner, a nervous learner, or returning to driving after a break, you'll get a tailored plan and honest feedback after every lesson.

    Bishopbriggs Test Centre — Local Knowledge

    Kirkintilloch's nearest test centre is Bishopbriggs, on Crosshill Road, a straight run down the A803 Kirkintilloch Road. The DVSA's own test centre finder lists Bishopbriggs first for Kirkintilloch and Lenzie postcodes, then Glasgow (Baillieston), then Airdrie — and those are the three centres Andy already teaches around every week. Wherever your slot comes up, you won't be learning with someone who is new to the area.

    Andy won't drill you round the test routes. Learning to drive isn't learning a circuit, and passing that way leaves you stuck the first time you drive somewhere unfamiliar. Nearer your test he'll take you out on roads the examiners use, so nothing on the day comes as a shock — but the aim throughout is a driver who can handle any road, not one who has memorised a handful.

    Bishopbriggs Test Centre Pass Rate

    The most recently published DVSA pass rate for Bishopbriggs Test Centre is 49.8% (2025–26 (DVSA table DRT122A, gov.uk — 6,186 tests, 3,080 passes)), compared to the 50.0% national average. Bishopbriggs is the closest centre to both Kirkintilloch and Lenzie. It eased slightly from 50.5% the year before — under a percentage point, which is ordinary year-to-year movement rather than a sign the centre has got harder.

    Which Centre Will You Test At?

    Take whichever centre has a slot when you're ready rather than chasing a pass rate — two or three percentage points between centres matters far less than being comfortable on the roads you'll actually drive. Here is how the three nearest to Kirkintilloch compare on DVSA's own published figures.

    Lessons work both halves of Kirkintilloch: town traffic and the A806 roundabouts, then the quieter roads out past the canal.

    Why Learners in Kirkintilloch Choose Andy

    Kirkintilloch gives you a bit of everything inside a short drive: town-centre traffic through the Cowgate, the A803 running east to west, the A806 relief road and its roundabouts, quiet residential streets around Merkland and Woodilee, and open country road once you are out past the canal towards Waterside and Milton of Campsie. Lessons build both halves of that, because being confident on a quiet street is not the same as being confident in moving traffic. Every lesson is in a fully insured, dual-controlled car with pickup from home, school or work across Kirkintilloch and Lenzie.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. Andy teaches manual lessons across Kirkintilloch, Lenzie and the surrounding part of East Dunbartonshire, with door-to-door pickup from home, school or work.

    Bishopbriggs Test Centre on Crosshill Road, G64 2QA, is the closest. The DVSA's test centre finder lists Bishopbriggs first for Kirkintilloch and Lenzie postcodes, then Glasgow (Baillieston), then Airdrie — and Andy already teaches around all three.

    The most recent DVSA figures (2025–26) put Bishopbriggs at 49.8% from 6,186 tests — 3,080 passes — just under the 50.0% GB average. That is slightly down on its own 50.5% the year before, which is ordinary year-to-year movement rather than a sign the centre has got harder.

    Yes. Lenzie sits in the same council ward as Kirkintilloch South and is a couple of minutes away on the B757, so lessons run there on the same door-to-door basis. Lenzie pupils test at Bishopbriggs too, for the simple reason that it is the closest centre to both.

    No, and that is deliberate. Andy won't drill you round the published routes. Nearer your test he'll take you out on roads the examiners use so nothing on the day is a surprise, but the aim throughout is a driver who can handle any road, not one who has memorised a handful.

    Lesson rates are the same across every area Andy covers. The current hourly rate, the 10-hour and 20-hour block prices and Pass Plus are all listed in full on the pricing page.

    Yes. Andy is a fully qualified DVSA Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with over 15 years of driving experience. He teaches every lesson himself — there is no call centre and no rota of instructors.

    Yes, and a good share of Andy's pupils are one or the other. Lessons go at the pace of the person in the driving seat, whether that's a 17-year-old on a first lesson or someone coming back to driving after years away.

    Yes. Around 20 minutes of every test uses a sat-nav for independent driving. Andy uses the same model examiners use, so it is completely familiar well before test day.

    Availability changes week to week and depends on whether Andy has a space. Message him on WhatsApp at 07492 059296 or send an enquiry through the site to check.
