Heltz Driving Academy – Umoja branch

Heltz Driving Academy's Umoja branch occupies the ground floor of Maliwa Plaza on Moi Drive, beside the Peacock Stage C matatu stop, the address given on the academy's own branch list. It serves learners living in Umoja, Tena, Mowlem and the Kariobangi South side of Outer Ring Road who would rather not travel to town for lessons. The academy is run from its head office at Sheikh House on Tom Mboya Street in the city centre and describes more than 35 years of teaching drivers in Nairobi, with offices in about a dozen neighbourhoods. Courses follow the NTSA driving curriculum: motorcycles in classes A2 and A3 (including theory-and-test-only packages for riders), light manual and automatic cars in class B with a shorter half course for those who need fewer lessons, trucks in class C and vans in class D. Licensed drivers who feel rusty can book refresher lessons. Offices keep weekday hours from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and Saturday hours from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm; NTSA's own licence and test fees are paid separately from tuition.
