What Our Students Have to Say

Overally experience from start to finish was amazing, I booked in the afternoon and by the evening had been assigned an instructor and a test date was sent to me the following day, after being let down by a prebious company this was excellent service, my instructor Andy was great he gave me the skills and confidence I needed to pass my test, I took the 18 hour course which was the perfect amount of time, and I passed at the end of the third day, I would highly reccomend using one week driving and Andy, it was definetely worth paying the money for.

Amazing. That’s the only word I could say. I was a nervous driver and never thought I’d pass because of it but my instructor made me feel so at ease and when I made a mistake I would learn straight away. So happy and Thankful.

I would recommend doing a intensive course to anyone as it is a great way of learning to drive. My instructor Zahir Baber was fantastic, he was very friendly and didn’t over complicate tasks. Prior to taking my 30 hour course i had been driving my own car with my parents supervision. I felt that the 30 hour course was more than enough to get me to pass as everything was covered in a short space of time meaning that nothing is forgotten. The mock tests that Zahir carried out ensured that I felt confident for the real test. I feel that One week driving course is a great way of passing your test quickly, without having to drag out learning over a number of months. Again i would like to thank my instructor Zahir for all the help i received during the course.

Passed first time today with 3 minors thanks to the world class instructor lee king. An exceptional instructor who pushes you to your limits, but gains great results. The test route I took was easy compared to the routes I was put through my paces on. Thank you so much
