I had booked 30hr driving test ahead of time as I needed time to pass theory ( 2nd time lucky) but this was my first driving test.
Lee could not have been more good humoured or patient as I had lessons over 6 years ago and needed to pass now to drive kids around as getting more active.
When I started at 8am on Monday I was sure we could iron out and straighten up my driving but I was a lot more rusty than I thought. The lessons were in 2hour stages and I found after 3 sessions a day I was a little tired but could relax and sleep on what needed work on and focus next day. By Thursday I was an ok driver but I would need to pass and that would mean a can do attitude.
Luckily I had Lee Whitehead in my passenger seat, he guided me through the test procedure so I would not be nervous and was really encouraging me that I could drive as I was ‘a nifty little driver’.
The test was good but I was tense. I got 11/15 faults and they were minors that Lee had pointed out but it was a pass. This was the best course for me as it was compact, informative and got the result I set out to get day one. Lee had 8/8 of the last people he had trained pass I was glad to be 9/9. Not only is he friendly, but he knows his stuff so listen well and absorb it all and he will give you all you need to pass.

I’ve just completed my course with oneweekdriving.co.uk and passed my driving test first time and with 0 minors, my instructor Zahir Baber has been absolutely brilliant, the way he taught me in a calm professional manner was fantastic but to top it all off he is a really great guy and a pleasure to have met. I’m so happy and I owe it all to oneweekdriving and to the incredible Zahir… Thanks again for everything.
Instructor: Zahir Baber

Excellent quality course, would highly recommend.

Based my 10hr previous experience with an instructor and 15 hours in my partner’s car, I booked a 30hr – 5 day course, starting on a Monday with the test on the Friday. The booking process was simple and quick and I was assigned my instructor, Stephen Lee, within a few days of booking and sent confirmation of my test date and time on pretty much the same day. Stephen called to arrange my hours the week before my course – he was very friendly and calmed my pre lesson nerves and assured me that he would be able to help me build my confidence. And he definitely did just that ! Stephen picked me up on the first day and talked with me about my past driving experience and having assessed my ability / nerves then had me going through the basics, threw in a couple of manoeuvres and by the end of the day had me driving around Chelmsford with something close to confidence. On days 2 and 3, my confidence had grown enormously, thanks to Stephen’s constant support and coaching. He was very patient with my nervous breakdowns on roundabouts and dual carriageways and by the 4th day they had pretty much stopped altogether. The 4th day, Stephen had me carry out 2 mock tests, which he deliberately made difficult to give me a realistic idea of what I was going to face on my test. I failed both of these, but we then spent time talking about the mistakes and how to avoid them. On the morning of my test (Friday 1st December), Stephen picked me up early and throughout the morning kept me calm and focused – the test wasn’t until 1:35 so we had time to polish up manoeuvres and work on the mistakes from my mocks. At 10am, we got a call to say my test was cancelled. We carried on with the rest of the lesson, going over the requirements for the new test as it was now booked for the following week where the test would be in the new format. Stephen was so positive throughout and reminded me that this allowed me more practice time with loved ones over the weekend which was a real bonus. We arranged to have a couple more hours before the test on the Wednesday the following week in which I was able to show Stephen much more confidence and, incredibly, pretty calm nerves. Stephen had prepared me really well for the expectations of the new format of the test even though it was brand new. I passed first time with 7 minors! Thank you so much Steve! You were amazing! Could not recommend enough!
