I passed my driving test on my first try, all thanks to Ian! He’s a passionate and dedicated instructor who really knows how to teach.

Malaika started her driving experience doing laps of the bingo car park in Pallion, but she put in an assured performance this morning and passed at the first attempt with only a few driving faults. A friendly student with a positive attitude, Malaika has been a pleasure to teach. Stay safe and I’ll see you on the road.”

It's nice to be remembered 😁
You know when you have made a meaningful impression on a student when they come back to thank their original instructor for their pass in Australia. Taught Ma Margarette Rosete Simangan 2 years ago but before she completed her training in uk, she took up a golden opportunity to further her career in Australia. She passed first attempt. Surprised me this morning with a thank you message is truly humbling. I wish you the very best and hope you are living your dream. ❤️

His instructor, Peter, guided him throughout the process, helping to build his confidence. James felt a great sense of pride in his achievement, knowing that his hard work and dedication had paid off.

A Wonderful Achievement for Aaron!
Aaron's journey over the past four years has been nothing short of extraordinary. Following a life-changing car accident caused by speeding, he faced significant physical challenges that required him to rethink his approach to driving. With his licence suspended, Aaron knew he had to acquire new skills tailored to his needs.
Today, weeks of really hard effort and commitment followed by an intensive assessment, he has successfully regained his driving licence. His determination throughout this process has been remarkable, showcasing an unwavering commitment to overcoming obstacles that many would find insurmountable. His efforts have been the hardest seen in a student, setting a standard of resilience and perseverance.
We are extremely proud of Aaron's achievement. This milestone not only signifies his return to driving but also marks a powerful testament to his character and dedication.

Nigel passed at the 1st attempt in Durham
Nigel's review
Andy is a fantastic instructor, his years of driving experience make him a natural at teaching. As an American who learned to drive on the other side, his instructions helped me feel confident learning to do everything opposite of what I grew up with. Thanks to his teaching I am a much more confident driver.
