What Our Students Say About Us

I had Julian as my automatic instructor and I cannot praise him enough. He is a nice bloke but he listens to you and makes sure you are ready for your test. Today I passed because of him, so thank you very much Julian and have a lovely Christmas.

What a bloke - Stuart Nelson. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, a proper good laugh and knows how to get things done. Prices are fair and will even run over to get stuff done, your not going to find that anywhere else. Got through my lessons fast and confidently. He will ensure you are getting everything you need to know done properly and quickly and will never raise his voice or shout, he is an amazing driver himself. I would recommend anyone to choose Stuart!

Ash is a really great instructor, he’s calm and super supportive. I’ve had multiple different instructors in the past and Ash was by far the best one, especially if you struggle with confidence and anxiety. I honestly don’t think I’d have passed without him. My last instructor I had for over a year and failed more than once, I was with Ash for a couple of months and he helped me to see where I was going wrong and taught me the right way and I was finally able to pass. Highly recommend, I’m so thankful I found him.

Andy was my driving instructor, he is patient, understanding and supportive! I highly recommend Andy as an instructor. I passed 2nd time around and he provided me with positive feedback and encouragement.

I highly recommend Julian Barker. He’s a very patient individual whose teaching style is very clear and concise. If you choose Julian as your driving instructor you’ll progress rapidly in no time.

Couldn’t have done it without Usman Baig, lovely gentleman who made me very comfortable and confident in my driving!

I had a really great experience with Steve as my driving instructor, honestly such a lovely person and he was so patient with me at all times and never once made me feel discouraged or as if I wasn’t capable. He always believed in me and boosted my confidence right up until the day of my test. A big thank you again to Steve!

I cannot recommend 1st Driving School enough - Andy is an absolute credit to the team and I could not of passed without him. He had the patience of a saint and had faith in me at times where I didnt have faith in myself. I suffer with anxiety and Andy positively pushed me to be the confident driver that I am today. Forever grateful to you Andy!!

I recently passed my driving test and would like to thank Michael Harmer for the fantastic lessons and support. After feeling nervous before the test, I was astounded by how confident and relaxed I was during it, and I can only thank Michael for that confidence. They were patient and I would recommend him to any learner driver, especially those interested in football.

Gavin was my driving instructor, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I often struggle with self-doubt, but his encouragement and excellent teaching gave me the confidence to pass my driving test today. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to drive, especially if you need that extra boost of motivation. Thank you for everything, Gavin!

Amazing experience with Ash my instructor! He was straight forward and a good instructor. I passed my automatic driving test with 16 hours of learning, couldn’t be happier amazing!

Really enjoyed working with Ash. I'd had instructors in the past who had made me feel stressed or unnerved and Ash had made me feel at ease. Was always happy to take extra time to help me feel calm throughout.

This driving school is reliable and professional. Julian is a really good instructor! He is patient, experienced, and caring about learners' needs. I have recommended this driving school and Julian to my friends.

I have had a few driving instructors whilst learning to drive and Dan at 1st Driving School has definitely been the best! Super friendly and made me feel comfortable instantly! I have generally been a very nervous driver but Dan really helped me and I wouldn’t have passed without him!

I had a lessons with this company and I passed my driving test for first time. It’s fantastic, they’ll do anything to help you. I had a lesson with Mohammed Arshad and he’s a good instructor, very patient and explains things very simply. Highly recommend.

I passed my theory and practical first time with the instructor Andy. He was very calm and taught me a lot in such a small amount of time. I had no prior driving knowledge but soon picked it up as well as my confidence in driving within the first two weeks. Andy would always make sure I perfected the routes, manoeuvres before starting something new. Any time I made a mistake, we would re-do it until there was no longer any mistakes and anything I did positive, he would always make sure to point out what I did in order to reassure me that I was actually learning what I was paying for.

Kev is a fantastic instructor. Perfectly tailored lessons to my needs and got me through my test really fast.

My driving instructor was Kevin, who was very friendly and professional and offered reasonable prices. Never cancelled a lesson and helped me pass my test first time.

I could not recommend Steve more as a driving instructor! He is really patient and willing to go over anything you don’t understand to help! He helped me to build up my confidence while driving and was adaptable with my demanding work and uni schedule.

Sandor was amazing at teaching me to drive. Passed my test within 5 months of lessons with no prior experience and is very patient! Thank you!

Quick service and friendly customer service staff. My instructor immediately contacted me and set dates for my lessons. Tony is an amazing instructor! I passed first time and I think I couldn't make it without his passionate and comprehensive teaching. He is very professional and kind. He covers my driving weaknesses with lots of practice and knowledge which eventually turned into my strength. Highly recommended and deserved to be given more than 5 stars!

Really good service. I've passed my test second time but my instructor Gavin was really supportive. He helped me a lot just had few lessons and got successfully done, recommend this driving school to everyone, thanks.

Could not recommend this driving school enough and more specifically my driving instructor Julian Barker! He has nothing short of amazing when it came to providing a stress and anxiety free environment when driving. He’s such a professional and helped me passed my test first time round with zero driving faults.

Crystal Johnson, thank you for being the best instructor ever! With your guidance and patience you taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciated your encouragement.

I had a great experience. Steve made me feel very comfortable and was always patient. My confidence improved a lot throughout the lessons, thanks to Steve. I would definitely recommend!

Great driving instructor, explained things very well. Would recommend.
