What Our Students Say About Us

My instructor was Christine Parker and she was absolutely fantastic. She was very patient and calming with a vast knowledge of all things driving and beyond. Really enjoyed my lessons with her and I would highly recommend anyone thinking of taking lessons to choose Christine as their instructor. I passed first time after around 20 hours.

Dean was great from start to finish. Couldn't fault his way of teaching and I passed first time, overall money well spent.

Dean has been a great instructor! He’s always been patient and positive which really helped my confidence - I really enjoyed my lessons with him and would highly recommend him.

Start to finish my experience was great if im honest. Called up discussed free times and was allocated an instructor local to my chosen pickup location. My instructor Ajith was very patient explained the process and provided excellent tuition catering to my previous experience and wish for a quick completion. Thanks to him I passed 1st time would 100% recommend Ajith and the company for your lessons.

A wonderful experience with 1st Driving School especially Dave Berry. HIGHLY recommend. I passed my test with one minor which I had never got in mock tests. The teaching is amazing and they will work at your pace which reduces pressure and stress.

My instructor was Christine, she was very patient and understanding and helped me to be able to pass both tests first time.

I passed first time at 1st driving school. Dean is a brilliant instructor, I’d recommend him to anyone learning to drive!

Thanks to Dean, I passed first time. He was calm and patient and explained everything very clearly. He was also very flexible to fit around my timetable. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Just passed my driving test for the first time, all thanks to my amazing instructor, Rafhat Shah. His teaching style is structured and he teaches you to love and drive with confidence! He was very supportive and friendly. I would strongly recommend him to new learner. Thanks :)

Could not fault my driving instructor or 1st driving school. Had an amazing experience whilst learning. Would 1000% recommend !!

Very good driving school who allowed me to pass first time. I had Debbie who was great and made me feel comfortable at all times during all my lessons.

My Instructor was Roger and it was honestly the best experience, we had a laugh but he also was a very good teacher. Was always telling me where I’ve gone wrong and reminding me on what I need to do better. I passed my test 1st try all thanks to Roger. I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to start learning.

I changed driving school and went with 1st Driving School and can honestly not be more thankful, I wish I was with 1st since day one as my driving instructor, Dan Evans, was an excellent teacher and really ironed out all my mistakes and ended up passing first time. Highly recommend!

10/10, couldn’t have asked for a better teacher.

I have just passed my driving test first time with Andre Ogiste. He is punctual, reliable and professional in his thorough approach to teaching. Would certainly recommend.

Great experience! Rif was a fantastic instructor. Very patient and always made me feel at ease. Always punctual and great at explaining things! Passed with two minors! Thank you so much.

First time pass! I chose 1st driving school after looking around for a local instructor. My instructor Dan Evans was absolutely brilliant, I would recommend him to anyone he is such a professional and it was a great experience.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to Roger for being an amazing instructor, and the reason I passed first time. His skills as a teacher are superb, attention to detail is second to none and he has the patience of a saint. Due to his extensive experience as an instructor for larger vehicles like buses, he has an invaluable understanding and insight into how to deal with situations involving such vehicles which i found particularly helpful. Every lesson was always perfectly tailored to the stage I was at, and Rogers ability to spot where I was going wrong and explain the reasons why in an easy to understand way were outstanding. His car was always spotless and a pleasure to drive, and I felt at ease from the start due to Roger's friendly personality. The lessons were always really enjoyable, and I came away feeling I'd learnt something new every time. I will definitely miss not having lessons any more, but I am so grateful for how Roger has helped me pass, I cannot recommend him enough!

Amazing driving company would highly recommend helped me pass 1st time with instructor Libby John amazing instructor friendly, patient and makes you feel at ease from day one of my driving! Definitely recommend!

Amazing driving school, couldn’t fault one bit. I had my lessons with Deb, an amazing driving instructor. I passed first time with only 4 minors. Really makes you feel comfortable and at ease whilst learning to drive. Feels like you're in the car with a pal and makes your learning experience amazing and one to remember. Highly recommend this company, worth every penny!

Patient and Understanding Instructor! My instructor, Rif, was fantastic and really made me feel calm and relaxed during all of our lessons! He always gave me feedback and tailored my lessons to suit my confidence and capabilities, which made me enjoy my lessons even more. Thank you

Truly first class driving school! I want to say a big big thanks to Kev. I’ve been trying to drive for about a year or so and have gone through my fair share of instructors and I can say he has been the best hands down. I was able to pass my test with only one minor with the help of Kev. He’s calm, relaxed and genuinely a nice person. If you’re like me and make silly driving errors be rest assured that you won’t be judged for your actions simply just taught on how to avoid the mistake occurring again and for that reason I never once felt uncomfortable while in the driving seat. If you’re looking to pass your test stress free Kev’s your man.

Great company.. Great instructor. 1st Driving put me in contact with Dan one of their instructors and I began my journey to passing my driving test. Dan was always reliable, a great teacher and gave me all the confidence and skills to pass my practical driving test. I was always kept up to date with the driving app which gave you an updated report on driving skills. Thank you for everything, would 100% recommend to anybody wanting to learn to drive.

Andre- best driving instructor around! Reliable, on time and very professional, first driving school made it an absolute breeze and the lessons informative.Andre was my instructor and can’t recommend him enough, he was friendly, punctual and importantly made things so simple to understand! I’ll always remember to “keep it stupidly simple!” Thank you again!

I can’t recommend 1st Driving School and my instructor Andy enough. Everything has been running smoothly all throughout, no issues with booking lessons and whatnot. Andy has always been on time when picking me up for my lessons. When I first started my lessons I was quite anxious on the road, he always put me at ease and made me feel confident with my driving and believed in me throughout. He’s always been very friendly and patient, also really informative and supportive. Thanks to him, I passed my driving test this morning!! Woo!!

I've had a few lessons with Rif so far and I can't praise him enough. He's been so calm and patient with me, has never shouted if I did something wrong and has always encouraged me to do my best. He always challenges me and tries to push me out of my comfort zone so that I can progress and become more comfortable. Upon starting, I was extremely nervous about driving he helped to calm my nerves, thoroughly explaining everything and always helping should I desperately need it. I've progressed far within these weeks, more than I initially expected and I can't recommend 1st Driving School or Rif enough.
