Heltz Driving Academy – Ruaraka branch

Heltz Driving Academy's Ruaraka branch is on the ground floor at Drive-In Estate, near the GSU roundabout where Outer Ring Road meets Thika Road, facing a Shell petrol station. Its spot by the superhighway makes it handy for learners from Drive-In, Baba Dogo, Mathare North and the Roysambu side of Thika Road. Heltz has taught driving in Nairobi for over 35 years and runs the branch from its head office at Sheikh House on Tom Mboya Street. Lessons follow the NTSA curriculum in four groups: motorcycles (A2 and the A3 courier or PSV class), cars in manual or automatic (B), light trucks (C1, also as a C1 plus B combination) and PSV endorsements for vans and taxis (D1, D2, B professional). Learners who already hold a licence can take refresher courses of at least five lessons, short half courses cover theory and the test, and an all-inclusive VIP car package is offered. Theory work uses a model town board to prepare students for the NTSA test.
