What Our Students Have to Say

Alexander Goodson - Basildon

I didn’t quite know what to expect from this course, but I’m so glad I decided to book with this company! I completed an 18 hour course, and passed my test first time. I had already taken about 40 hours of lessons when I was 18, 7/8 years ago, so I was eager to to get my driving license. It turned out perfect for me! Before starting the course I was a bit nervous about doing so much driving in

Customer ReviewThe driving course was very good, my instructor Iqbal was very patient with the lessons, taking the time for me to understand everything and tailoring the lessons to my learning abilities. He was always punctual and made a great effort for me to pass my test and stay relaxed. Even though I did not pass my test I came very far in such a short time. I will be redoing my test in April and definitely will contact Iqbal for more lessons beforehand.

I had Alan Melton and he was fantastic. I have really bad anxiety and I thought I’d never pass but I did first time, he was understanding around my children and childcare ect and literally smashed it.
Dawn Winchester

Great experience! The course is very intense and hard work but worth it in the end I would definitely recommend it. Norman was a great instructor, very patient and made me feel at ease behind the wheel :D.
