Our story

About Yaqeen Driving School

At Yaqeen Driving School, our name reflects our mission. The word "Yaqeen" (یقین) comes from Arabic and means certainty, conviction, and unwavering belief, values we bring to every driving lesson.

Founded on the belief that confidence behind the wheel begins with trust and expert guidance, Yaqeen Driving School is led by a fully qualified female driving instructor with over 9 years of experience at Apna Driving, one of the UK’s respected driving schools. Her extensive background ensures that learners receive not only professional instruction but also the reassurance of proven expertise.

We specialise in driving lessons for female learners, offering a calm, patient, and empowering environment where students feel safe and supported. Whether you're a nervous beginner or preparing for your test, we help you move from hesitation to confidence, just like the meaning of our name.

Why “Yaqeen” Matters in Driving:

  • Certainty in your skills through structured, personalised lessons

  • Confidence in your decisions with real-time feedback and encouragement

  • Conviction in your readiness for the UK driving test and beyond

With local knowledge of Derby and surrounding areas, we prepare you for real-world driving and test routes. Our goal is not just to help you pass, but to help you drive with Yaqeen.
