Heltz Driving Academy – Ngara branch

The Ngara branch of Heltz Driving Academy is at Bano House, just past the Post Bank and close to where Ngara Road meets Thika Road, according to the academy's own branch list. It is the closest Heltz office for learners from Ngara, Parklands' lower end, Pangani, Kariokor and the hostels and flats around the Globe roundabout, and for anyone who commutes along Thika Road. The academy, run from Sheikh House on Tom Mboya Street, has offered driving lessons in Nairobi for over three and a half decades and now keeps more than a dozen offices across the city. Training follows the NTSA curriculum: motorcycles (A2) and three-wheelers (A3), manual and automatic cars (B) in a full course or a shorter half course, class C trucks and class D vans. Riders who only need the theory and the test can book that on its own, and drivers returning to the road after a break can take refresher sessions. Tuition is separate from the NTSA fees for the test and the licence.
