What Our Students Say About Us

Highly recommend Usman. Usman is an experienced, reliable, and trustworthy instructor. He explained concepts clearly. He gave feedback to me timely, and patiently, when I made any mistakes. Under his endurance, I picked up my on-the-road experience quickly and was able to rectify my bad habits promptly. I was able to understand the importance and rationale of various rules. I was able to be trained as a safety driver on the road. Largely owing to the effort and guidance of Usman, I was able to clear my test in my first attempt. Definitely recommend him.

Passed first time using Roger. Great driving instructor who’s always friendly and welcoming for every driving lesson. From not knowing anything about driving at the start of my lessons he was always very helpful with any questions I had and taught me everything I needed to know ready for my test, thank you for everything.

I have just passed my driving test a few days ago with Rif as my instructor. He’s a really patient and positive instructor, always cheer me up when I made mistake and accurately point out the correct way to deal with every situation. He always gives me confidence to be a better driver and keep on improving. If anyone want to get a driving instructor, Rif is always the better option.

Steve was a fantastic instructor who helped me pass first time. He was very patient and was encouraging at all times. He gives good constructive criticism when needed and praises you when you do well. All round a great an instructor that I would definitely recommend.

I had Julian as my instructor for about 6 months and I passed first time! He made sure that I was fully prepared for the test, teaching me how to deal with difficult circumstances and made me feel comfortable from the first lesson when I was a beginner. I 100% would recommend Julian to anyone, thanks very much.

When I decided to do my driving lessons I searched online and saw 1st Driving School and when I called they gave me an instructor called Julian. Julian was really patient and a good instructor. He guided me and supported me throughout it all. I have no complaints as it was always easy to book a lesson and Julian was kind enough to let me pick my dates. I passed the exam on my first attempt, thank you so much. I would really recommend Julian as an instructor.

AMAZING. Michael was a fabulous, calm patient and friendly instructor. Very in-depth teaching which was very easy and enjoyable to follow. Always promptly arrived for lessons and was very accommodating in fitting appointments in to suit. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and have done so already.

Reliable and efficient lessons. Dan Evans is a wonderful instructor. He really helped me to polish my skills quickly and boosted my confidence. He was always on time and never rescheduled or cancelled my lessons. I would highly recommend to pick Dan as your driving GURU.

1st Driving School is the best motoring school around, they have reliable instructors and are very down to earth and polite instructors who treat people like a good friend. My instructor was Kevin Hopps and he is a great instructor and I wasn't with him long and I passed my test thanks to Kevin.

PASSED FIRST TIME! Would like to thank Ash for his amazing support never could of made it happen without him.

Passed first time! Excellent driving instructor, Ash. Have confidence in me and really taught me how to drive. Always feedback given and constructive criticism, I really ought to thank him for the lessons.

OUTSTANDING DRIVING SCHOOL.If you can, Kevin Hopps is the instructor your want. He was a very good instructor who was always on time and reliable. He is very patient and is always willing to teach those who are willing to learn. His car was always in immaculate condition he never tried to take the mick by longing the lesson amount to pass, as soon as you felt ready he would be recommending you book a test if you haven’t already. Would definitely recommend 1st Driving School to anyone who wants to learn or even to do an extended driving courses, and especially the driving instructor Kevin Hopps.

Great experience throughout, Kev was a great instructor and helped get me to the point of passing. Highly recommend.

EXCELLENT DRIVING SCHOOL AND INSTRUCTOR. Kev at 1st Driving School was a great instructor who always puts my development and that of his other pupils first. He demands the highest standards from his pupils, pushing me and supporting every step of the way so that I went into my test feeling completely confident that I would pass.

Thanks to Ash, my instructor who made my test easy and smooth to pass. Ash is very professional throughout the lessons as he covers every component in detail. During my lessons, he brought me to major roads to ensure I was confident about driving around Nottingham. I highly recommend this driving school and Ash.

I started my lessons with Andy Blain in March 2022, Andy has the patience of a Saint! Made me feel at ease when my anxiety wasn't good, I passed 1st time, cannot thank this man enough! Super star! Thank-you again Andy, highly recommended.

After having a bad experience with my previous instructor I changed to this school and Stuart Nelson taught me. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor, he made me feel at so much ease after previously being a very anxious driver. I am now confident that I’ll be able to handle any challenges by myself on the roads. Thank you so much Stuart! You are a legend.

Chris Budd was an amazing instructor, always had faith in me and always had a good chat with me. He’s friendly and calm and helped me pass my test 2nd time which I had no faith in myself to pass, but he did he always had faith.

First thing which I think is most important is that the instructor made me feel calm and comfortable but at the same time alert from day one. I also liked how they go into detail on errors and how they can be corrected. I would definitely recommend a friend, which I already did. Thanks a lot 1st Driving School.
