What Our Students Have to Say
Having had previous driving experience and also a number of years motorbike experience I opted for a 5 day course.
Adam Iles was my instructor and was and excellent tutor.
I found the whole experience enjoyable and this type of course really suited my approach to learning. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn to drive or just wanting to fast track to get their driving
Had a very easy week learning to drive, instructor Mike was always very calm and reassuring. Very easy going and easy to talk to. All in all was a good package. Communication from day I booked to the day I passed was instant and professional. Would recommend to a friend.
So I went to the course twice. I had a 48 hour intensive followed by test which I unfortunately failed, then I went again for an 18 hour with test which I passed. I recommend this company to learn from and they were better than others I had tried to go to. I would say if you go for an intensive ask if it can be broken down- when I did the 48 hour it was punishing at about 4-6 hours a day of driving for 2 weeks. Where as the 18 hour I asked and they helped to break it down and most were 3 hour sessions which for me was about right. The instructors on both courses were very good and helpful and assisted me to work on things that were particularly throwing me like roundabouts. It was a bit expensive but that is to be expected if you want to go on an “intensive” course. My instructors were: 48hour- Steve Chapman (5*) 18hour- Ozzie Bozdag (5*) .
Customer Review: Husband booked me a course which included my theory test and 3 days of 6 hrs a day driving over a weekend so 18 hrs in total with a test at the end, from start to finish the process was simple and easy, with all the information you require.
My instructor Latch was just awesome, he is patient, friendly which made makes you feel at ease and gave me the confidence I needed to pass my test.
I would totally recommend this company and an intensive course, 3 weeks from start to finish and that was only due to test availability.
Thank you to an amazing company and instructor, I can now go it alone.
