What Our Students Have to Say
Adam is an amazing instructor. He was very calm and patient. Would recommend him to any learner no matter what ablility you have. He boosted my confidence and made me ready and I passed first time.
The course was the best decision I’ve ever done, passed first time which I was very pleased about. Mike my instructor was very calm and easy to understand, goes through everything you need for your test. Strongly recommend him.
My driving instructor was called Steven lee. I honestly was really impressed with his professionalism and passion for teaching. Throughout my time he had great patience good mentoring skills which built a good level of driving ability and confidence behind the wheel which lead to me passing my test within 30 hours!
I have had a very positive experience with One Week Driving Course. Booking my course was so straight forward, everything was taken care of for me. I was given my practical test date and my instructor called me in advance of my course to explain everything to me.
My instructor Stephen Lee was thorough, patient and supportive. He is a very skilled teacher. I have learnt more in a week with Steve than I have learnt over years of stopping and starting driving lessons. Although I did not pass my test I feel so confident and positive after my course. I would highly recommend the driving school and would most certainly recommend my instructor Steve Lee.
