What Our Students Have to Say

I did the 30 hour course, passed first time. Lee was so helpful and he knew all of the routes and prepared me thoroughly for my test and my future driving. He was on time every day and an excellent instructor who has given me great confidence in my ability to drive. I would consider this the best way of learning to drive. It is tiring but worth every penny!
By far the most enjoyable lessons I’ve ever had with Darren, after already having lessons previously with others. His approach and attitude contributed massively to my success and I can’t think him enough for his time and efforts in helping me. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Darren

I had booked 30hr driving test ahead of time as I needed time to pass theory ( 2nd time lucky) but this was my first driving test.
Lee could not have been more good humoured or patient as I had lessons over 6 years ago and needed to pass now to drive kids around as getting more active.
When I started at 8am on Monday I was sure we could iron out and straighten up my driving but I was a lot more rusty than I thought. The lessons were in 2hour stages and I found after 3 sessions a day I was a little tired but could relax and sleep on what needed work on and focus next day. By Thursday I was an ok driver but I would need to pass and that would mean a can do attitude.
Luckily I had Lee Whitehead in my passenger seat, he guided me through the test procedure so I would not be nervous and was really encouraging me that I could drive as I was ‘a nifty little driver’.
The test was good but I was tense. I got 11/15 faults and they were minors that Lee had pointed out but it was a pass. This was the best course for me as it was compact, informative and got the result I set out to get day one. Lee had 8/8 of the last people he had trained pass I was glad to be 9/9. Not only is he friendly, but he knows his stuff so listen well and absorb it all and he will give you all you need to pass.

I recently completed the OneWeekDrivingCourse 18 hour course. I think that this is the best way to pass your driving test, after three days driving around my test centre area and learning some of the possible routes I felt very comfortable and confident.
I must give a special mention to my Instructor Zahir Baber, he was amazing!!! A very down to earth gentleman who is very good at his job. If
