What Our Students Have to Say

I booked an intensive course in Watford as although I had taken lessons in the past, I felt a week of continual learning would be the best way for me to keep my focus. From the moment I paid my deposit I was kept informed by email and text of all the necessary information I would need, theory/practical test dates and my instructors information. I was paired with Lee who from the outset not only put my mind at ease but gave me the confidence to know I was and could be a good driver. The thorough nature of the course itself and especially Lee made sure I turned up to the test with the best planning. I will admit I did fail (still don’t think it was my fault!) and failed again 2 weeks later (probably my fault!!), but with the training and Lee’s words ringing in my ears I passed 3rd time round (apparently all the best drivers pass 3rd time…. ). Not only did I pass, but I managed to ‘keep a clean sheet’ with no minors at all. I would recommend One Week Driving Course to anybody who was looking to not only learn the skills needed for driving, but the confidence needed to put these skills into action. A great instructor, a first class course from original booking to passing my test and overall an absolute pleasure – without overselling the point I would give these guys 6 stars if I could!!

It was a brilliant day and a huge weight was lifted of my shoulders when I was told I passed with only 3 minors. With thanks to Sayed Chowdery for helping me to improve my driving skills. Sayed had helped me to make use of my mirrors and to look behind me a lot more, which I took into consideration. He also taught me to be confident and to not hesitate. He is a fantastic instructor and is highly

After failing 7 tests in a manual car 11 years ago, I decided to jump back into the drivers seat but give an automatic car a try. I was extremely nervous on my first day of the 18hr intense course I booked and never thought I’d get my full licence. David was so patient and really taught me so much in such a short space of time, he made me feel at ease behind the wheel and gave me the confidence in myself to get me through my test. I’d never of done it without him coaching me through my course! I recommend David very highly. Had a fantastic 3 days driving and still can’t believe I finally passed with only 2 driving faults.

Absolutely brilliant instructor. Clear, patient, helpful and fantastic knowledge. Easy to get on with and an all round nice person. Wouldn’t have anybody else. He helped me get a first time pass.
