What Our Students Have to Say

The booking process was easy and simple to follow, it’s pretty pricey as the lump sum, but you only have to put down a deposit first and pay later which made it easier. The instructor I was given was also excellent, who was completely sourced from oneweekdrivingschool which was fantastic, the only problem I had was a lot of the emails was sent to my junk mail inbox resulting in me missing my theory test, but oneweekdrivingschool was able to help and advise me in booking another one. All in all, it was a good experience as I passed with only 1 minor, would 100% recommend.
Firstly the booking process is very clear and straight forward. I spoke to a lady who helped me with booking the correct course and answered all questions I had. Once, I had booked the course, the service was also great when booking my practical test. They managed to book a practical test at the end of my 18 hour course which was convenient. As I started my course, I met my driving instructor Alan. I couldn’t fault Alan, he was brilliant. I was quite nervous to start off with but he made me feel at ease with his very calm approach. He was a great instructor who I would highly recommend. I liked the format of an intensive course, it seemed to really benefit more than weekly lessons. I really really recommend this great service, brilliant company! .
I really enjoyed my exprience of the one weeks droving course, I would defently recomend this service to people that want to pass their test with confidence. I felt like all of my instructors focus (Adrian S) was dedicated to me every second of evert day, from the first dayi felt like I had improved massively in my confidence in ny ability to drive. I Passed first time so all the hard work and long hour days driving where really worth it! Thank you very much one weeks driving course! Very highly recomended company, Grate value for money!

Ateeq was a very professional and well informed instructor with a fantastic manner. Very patient, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him. He got me through my test with ZERO faults.
