What Our Students Have to Say
I enjoyed the course at One Week Driving Course. The course is good and compact and very useful for people who do not have the time to commit to a many-week program of lessons. My driving definitely improved over the week, even if I didn’t pass in the end.

I never thought I would pass my driving test having failed 4 times previously with different instructors and at a different test centre. The one week driving school were very well organised and helpful. My test was cancelled by the test centre and they found me another within a week. Mike Parfitt my instructor was outstanding. He was patient and thorough. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Even though I didn’t pass my test I think my experience was very good. My instructor used a method of developing my existing driving style and improved on it rather than teaching me to drive the way she does. I found that by doing so my skills improved much faster this way as it felt more natural to drive so could concentrate more on improving my observation. I feel I am able to pass my test next time thanks to Amanda Robathan and would recommended her to a friend.
A really worthwhile course and it massively increased my confidence as a driver. Pete was an excellent teacher, gave clear instructions but also put me at ease. At the end of the 30 hours I felt completely ready to take my test. Would strongly recommend an intensive course with this company.
