About ZED
Welcome to the Zero Emissions Driving School! Our mission is to provide a modern, relevant, environmentally friendly way for our customers to learn to drive.
ZED School is an independantly owned and run driving school, set up by an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) with many decades of experience behind the wheel.
We teach our customers how to drive in an automatic car, so when you get your full licence you will be able to drive any car with an automatic gearbox, whether it's a modern electric vehicle car or something fossil-fuelled.
We cover the West Sussex area in and around Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, Wivelsfield, Ansty, Ditchling, Cuckfield, Lindfield, and Hassocks.
We focus on providing modern tuition, in modern cars, using modern technology, and equip our customers with the knowledge and experience that they need to start or continue their driving careers to the highest of standards.
As the name suggests, we don't use fossil fuels at ZED School. We only teach using electric vehicles (EVs), and all of the energy used to charge the car comes from 100% renewable sources. This will enable you to be kinder to the environment while you are learning to drive, and also give you the knowledge and experience you will need to jump into an EV in the future.
Your training car will be a Vauxhall Corsa-e:
Not only will you learn how to drive a car to a high standard, but our syllabus also includes:
- How to use a SatNav
- How to perform routine vehicle checks and basic car maintenence (tyres, lights, etc.)
- Training on electric vehicle charging methods & technologies
- How to deal with emergency vehicles

As your driving abilities grow we will teach you the essential techniques for life on the UK roads, including motorways and fast roads, country roads, driving during the hours of darkness and in bad weather conditons, and the essential skills of hazard perception and planning.
