Intensive Driving Courses in Hayes

My instructor Malcolm Smith was just fantastic, the best. I was nervous about the whole course, worried about the negative reviews and whether it was worth the money. But I have to say its the best £1000 I’ve spent. Worth it without question. I actively enjoyed the whole course start to finish. It was so convenient having malcolm arrive at my front door every day. I have 3 young children so had to be organised for the week. I passed my test with just 2 minors, 27 years old with almost no previous driving experience. If you’re thinking about this course, GO FOR IT!

My instructor was very thorough and constantly made every effort to help me with my learning. Although, I was unsuccessful in my driving test, the course was still very well worth doing as I learned a lot and made a lot of progress during the few days. I would particularly like to recommend my instructor Mike to anyone.

Having never so much as sat in the drivers’ seat of a car before, I enrolled on a One Week Driving Course (the 48hr Guaranteed Pass), desperately hoping that – with a little determination and some serious dedication – I could pass in time to be driving my wife, two cats and I around to visit everyone for Christmas this year: no longer having to deal with incessant bloody trains! Paired with Sadegh – perhaps the most calm and patient person I’ve ever met – as my instructor, I achieved that end in no time. We began on Sunday 1st November (driving for 6 hours each day), for a total of 8 flexible days, and – on Wednesday 11th (a mere 10 days later!) – I took and passed my test, first time (with only 2 minors recorded). It was – to put it plainly – utterly exhausting: but absolutely, 100%, worth it. It’s difficult to describe just how tiring – mentally and physically – driving for such a solid, condensed period of time actually is: but it certainly prepares you for what’s required in your test. My instructor Sadegh put his absolute trust and faith in me from day one (a rather “throw you in at the deep end: sink or swim” teaching ethos), which I feel worked wonders for my learning curve: I found myself desperately wanting to prove I was worthy of that trust, and aimed to be the best I could each and every time I got behind the wheel – and put my hand on the gearstick – of that little Nissan Micra. As the test centres closest to my area were all booked up, I was sent to Wanstead, in East London, for my test. As anyone who takes a minute to search “Wanstead driving test”, or anything similar, will find: the place has the highest first-time fail rate in the entire country, with negative comments and driving test horror stories in abundance… I was terrified. I felt ready, however: confident and prepared; and I wasn’t going to let anything affect my chances of getting a pass but me. I treated the test the same as any other day: imagined that it was just my instructor Sadegh sat beside me, and that I was simply putting what he’d taught me into practice as i’d done each day for the past week or so. And, to my utter relief, it worked. As a bonus (as if the pass wasn’t enough reward in itself), I was immediately refunded £200 – as promised – for passing first time. The whole thing worked, in fact. I would whole-heartedly recommend it to anyone who is serious about learning to drive. No messing around: just you and your instructor; in a car together for a week; one goal on which to focus; practice; practice; practice… and you’re ready. To all at One Week Driving Course, and to my fantastic instructor… Thank you. Aaron.

AMAZING! AMAZING! Is the only way to describe Norman. After many instructors I finally found the best!! He’s so lovely and puts you at ease and makes everything so simple. Taught me more in one day than anyone I used previous. I highly recommend him in every way. I’ve now passed and I know I would never have done it without him. !!!!
