Ahmed Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Very good driving school. My instructor was Temor who was very calm and very patient. Explained everything clearly and in plenty of time. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for your support.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Ahmed Driving school. Today i have pass my driving test.
Negative experience: HY20 MWM Terrible driving!! I had right of way trying to merge from two lanes into one when the driving instructor sped up to block me. He proceded to honk his horn at me and then when at the next set of traffic lights persisted to shout and throw abuse at me! Not only did he did he do this to me he then done the exact thing to another car on the next merge point! If you want to pass your test I strongly recommend you don't get taught by this instructor otherwise you will fail!! #Angerissues!
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my driving test today, first attempt with Emmanuel from Southampton. Thank you Emmanuel for boosting my confidence in the driving lessons and to drive safely!
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Zia vai and Ahmed Driving School enough! Passing my test was such an emotional moment, and I honestly couldn't have done it without Zia vai's support. It took me two months of dedicated practice, and throughout it all, he was incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly believed in me even when I doubted myself. He explained everything clearly, and his teaching style really helped me build my confidence on the road. If you're looking for an instructor who not only teaches you to drive but also supports you every step of the way, Zia vai is the one! Thanks to him, I'm finally a licensed driver, and it feels amazing!
Fantastic experience: Today I passed my driving test today . The Ahmed Driving was really helpful , supportive and patient with me throughout my all lessons. He is so hardworking and explains everything in detail. Thank you once again for all your efforts . I would highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Very happy to have learned to drive with Ahmed driving school. It was easy to book available lessons at a reasonable price for today's standard. My instructor Temor was excellent, always calm and patient, and he gave me great advice which allowed me to pass my test on my first try!
Fantastic experience: Just got my license thanks to Temor! We only had a week to practice, but he was extremely helpful with fitting lessons in and getting me ready for the test. Can't recommend enough, thanks Temor!
Fantastic experience: Shorof was great and patient with me throughout the process. I passed today and I am truly grateful
Fantastic experience: Thanks alot for such a great and flexible service. It was a very affordable price compared to others. The instructor, Michelle, is really a great person and instructor. She helped me getting ready mentally as well. I wish her all the best.
Fantastic experience: Other driving companies weren’t unavailable around Eastleigh area. My friend recommended Ahmed Driving, & indeed it was very reliable. My instructor Temor was kind & patience with me, very flexible with time & good communication. I passed on my first attempt. I recommended Temor to one of my colleague, he passed as well. I would highly recommend Ahmed Driving & Temor to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Sabour Hamidi enough for helping me pass my driving test on the first try! From our very first lesson, it was clear that Sabour is not only an incredibly skilled and patient instructor, but also a really funny and nice guy. His teaching style is thorough yet approachable, and he always kept things lighthearted, making lessons feel enjoyable rather than stressful. Sabour’s sense of humor helped ease my nerves, and he was always calm and supportive, even when I made mistakes. He really takes the time to explain things clearly and ensures you feel confident behind the wheel before your test. His attention to detail and focus on both the practical and theoretical aspects of driving made a huge difference. Thanks to Sabour’s guidance, I felt prepared and at ease on test day, which made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch driving instructor. If you're looking for someone who is professional, patient, funny, and genuinely invested in helping you succeed, Sabour is the one!

Fantastic experience: Allhamdulillah i passed my driving test today.all credit goes to zia bhai.fantastic instructor he teach me driving very well i took 40 hours lesson .amd pass my exam on first attempt .thank you zia bhai ❤️
Fantastic experience: Having recently passed my driving test, I can highly recommend Temor from Ahmed Driving. He has proved to be highly reliable, flexible and very patient. I don't think I could have passed without his help and advice. His calming approach made learning so much easier, and whilst I had to juggle lesson times due to other appointments, he was always very accommodating.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding Instruction, Patience,Guidance & Encouragement throughout my driving lessons. Shorof Thank You.
Fantastic experience: Great experience! I took an intensive course with Faisal and within 10 days, i passed my test! Faisal is experienced, patient and a lovely instructor. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I passed first time today with Ahsan Laghari who is a really great instructor. Very patient, good communicator and the mock tests really helped. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I got passes with zero faults, that’s all because of the help of my instructor Muhammad Faisal. I do appreciate that I can pass the test within one month from the day I start my driving class.
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Temor was such a great experience! He’s super clear with his instructions and made me feel completely at ease from day one. His friendly, patient approach made a huge difference, especially when I was nervous. Every lesson was enjoyable, and I always felt like I was making real progress thanks to his calm, supportive teaching style. If you're looking for a driving instructor who’s easy to get along with and really knows his stuff, Temor is definitely the one to go to. I honestly couldn’t recommend him more!
Fantastic experience: Dear Zia Ahmed, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your excellent instruction and guidance throughout my driving lessons. Your patience, encouragement, and clear teaching style helped me gain the confidence and skills I needed to pass my driving test. Your ability to explain everything calmly and break down complex maneuvers into manageable steps made the whole learning process much easier. I truly appreciate how you focused on safe driving habits and gave me constructive feedback to improve. Thanks to you, I now feel prepared and confident behind the wheel. I couldn’t have done it without your support! Best regards, Bradley Cabias
Negative experience: AVOID AVOID AVOID SCAM ARTISTS! My husband payed £75 for 2 hours of driving. Sat waiting constantly popping his head out the front door for them to never show. When we rang them they claimed the driver was sat outside our house for 30 mins. They absoulty were not. They also claim its his fault as aperiently he gave his mobile number wrong by 1 didget. Had you turnt up Ahmed driving school this wouldnt have been an issue.
Fantastic experience: An amazing driving school! My instructors name was Ahsan Laghari and he was the best instructor ever! The fact that he was always there cooperating with me whenever I needed help here and there. I was able to pick up topics really easily due to his ability to communicate and help me understand what was needed to be done. He gave me every single tip and trick that was needed. He was an understanding driving instructor making changes for me wherever possible. I totally do recommend him!! I came to him with very little knowledge and left with all the knowledge needed. He did 3 hour lessons with me as it helped me get that extra boost in! The office were also able to communicate and help achieve a great deal in my driving journey. Ahsan had given all his best to help me pass. He taught me every single topic, what I needed to do, what was right and wrong. The mock tests we did had helped especially helping me improve it. He is a lovely young man who is very enthusiastic towards his students. Please book with him!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Ahmed Driving School, especially with my instructor Ahsan Laghari. He was incredibly patient and calm, even when I made mistakes, and always explained how I could improve in a way that was easy to understand. His clear guidance and supportive approach really boosted my confidence behind the wheel. Ahsan was extremely professional throughout my lessons, and thanks to his excellent instruction, I passed my driving test on the first try! I’m extremely pleased with the whole experience and would highly recommend Ahmed Driving School and Ahsan to anyone looking to learn.
Fantastic experience: I've just passed my driving test first time with Emmanuel from Southampton. He was amazing! He will call you out on everything you do wrong to make sure you are absolutely the best you can possibly be and absolutely smash your test! I found it was hard to get a test in Southampton so I got some instructors in other areas to take me on the test and they all said whoever trained you did a fantastic job! Because he did! 10000million stars! Emmanuel is the best!
Fantastic experience: So happy to pass my test on the first try with the help of Ahmed driving school. Ziya explains his instructions very clearly and well. He answers questions and worries in detail and navigates through errors until you get it right. Ahmed driving school helps you excel and get out of your comfort zone in order to drive to the best of your ability. Many thanks to Ziya and his team for the great support and encouragement during driving lessons.
Fantastic experience: So after having a scare with my last driving school I nearly gave up with driving. But then my partner found Ahmed driving school and it has been the best experience for us both. Today I passed my driving test on my first attempt and it was all thanks to Shorof I honestly don’t think I could have done it without his support. I was so doubtful and nervous and honestly thought I couldn’t do it but he had so much faith in me so Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test thanks to the exceptional teaching and guidance of Zia. His expertise and positive attitude made learning to drive a stress-free experience.
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Shroof, he was patient with me. As a nervous driver he knew when to change his teaching style to build up my confidence. He was very good at helping to correct my mistakes, even when I would make them more than twice. I passed first time thanks to him.
Fantastic experience: Just passed with temor great driving instructor he helped me refresh my driving in 2 lessons and pass at a test centre i had never been before thank you temor
Fantastic experience: "If you're aiming to pass your test and seeking an instructor (Ahsan Laghari) who is factual, friendly, and communicates clearly during lessons, I highly recommend him @Ahmed Driving School."
Fantastic experience: Shorrof was one of my instructors and a friend. He assisted me greatly. Although he was strict, it was necessary for me to be more aware of my surroundings. As a result, I passed my exam. I am grateful for everything he has done for me. If I could give him a 10-star rating, I would. I highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: I have been through 3 driving instructors and Shorof is the best by a mile. He's a very kind, patient, and skilled teacher with clear communication. His way of breaking complicated parts of driving into simple, repeatable methods is extremely helpful. I highly recommend him if you're looking to learn automatic.
Fantastic experience: I had a great driving lesson experience with my instructor Zia. He does point out any small mistakes whilst driving but I have to say that it has only improved my driving when I work on even the small errors. First time driving can be overwhelming but you won’t be disappointed if you are willing to work on your driving to the point of almost fine-tuning your driving skills. I would definitely recommend Zia as a good choice for a driving instructor.
Fantastic experience: Temor helped me relearn after almost passing (with a terrifying instructor) when I was younger. He got me ready in just 3 weeks when I found a last minute test place in Southampton, and needed the license urgently. He was great at building my confidence and teaching me how to avoid sticky situations, much more patient and easy to talk to than previous instructor. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I just passed the driving test with a good standard pass. This can be achieved by the help from Ahsan Laghari from Ahmed driving school. He is an excellent driving instructor. Since the beginning he taught me with a high standard driving skills which boost my confident during throughout the test. I would highly recommend him to be a driving instructor from Ahmed Driving School. Last but not least Ahmed Driving School provides range of driving lesson packaged which will suit your need and affordable. Definitely recommend this driving school.
Negative experience: I'm unable to do my first lesson as im unwell and in the hospital. Tried to reschedule the lesson within 24hrs but their policy is 48hrs so unfortunately I've lost the £81 payment I made when booking.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test second time with Ahmed Driving School! Both Danish and Shorof were great instructors, very patient with me and prepared me well for the test. Thank you for teaching me skills I’ll be using for the rest of my life!
Negative experience: Don't close pass people on Voi scooters. You're supposed to leave 1.5 meters of clearance when overtaking vulnerable road users. If you do it again I'll submit the footage to Hants SNAP
Fantastic experience: I couldn't of have received a better service than Ahmed Driving School to pass my driving. Mr Temor was teaching me at first but due to his personal reasons I had my test with another instrucutor Mr Mozamel. Mr Temor was very kind, professional and calm. Always willing to help. I really enjoyed my experience with him. I would of not achieved this so quickly without his help. Mr Mozamel was professional and friendly. Thank you both so much for all your help for this big achievement. All the best.
Fantastic experience: Ahmed driving school is best and so as my instructor shorof. He is brilliant in his job and explained me everything so clearly that because of him I passed my practical driving exam in first go. Thank you for all support.
Fantastic experience: Zia Ahmed is an amazing driving instructor! He has a unique talent for explaining complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident. He is incredibly patient and supportive, always providing constructive feedback and positive reinforcement. I am extremely grateful to Zia Ahmed for his support and guidance throughout this journey. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Temor!!! Started with no driving experience and very nervous. Temor was always super patient with me, and spent time going over anything I was unsure of until I felt confident. Thanks temor ☺️
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my practical driving today first time with only 2 minors with Emmanuel from Southampton, The best and kindest instructor I've ever seen. 100% recommend this brilliant instructor.
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Mozamel for teaching me how to drive. He is a very competent teacher and made me feel out ease from the first day.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with instructor Zee, best instructor out there and highly recommend. I had my first lesson with him with no prior driving experience, and he was very patient and encouraging. He is very thorough with his teaching and always ensures you are fully prepared before advancing further. He is very knowledgeable when covering test routes which makes preparation for the driving test much simpler. Overall Zee is a friendly and professional instructor who always makes his lessons enjoyable for his students, truly is the best instructor in Southampton.
Fantastic experience: I passed my test ony very first attempt and all thanks to Zia for being very patient with me. The lessons were well organised and gives attention to all details needed to clear the test.
Fantastic experience: I'm Vishnu , I passed my driving test with Mozamel Ahmadi as my instructor . He was very patient friendly and understanding and knows what I truly needed to pass my test first time. He improved me as a driver and helped me pass the test on first try itself . Highly recommend Mozamel and Ahmed driving school ....
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time today with Ahmed Driving School. My instructor, Ahsan Laghari was really kind, patient and ensured I was able to drive to the level required to pass. He was also extremely encouraging and supportive and made sure I had confidence in myself too. Felt comfortable with him as my instructor and grateful for the pass I have.
Fantastic experience: Ahmed Driving School is excellent, particularly thanks to the instructor, Temor. His patience, expertise, and clear instructions made the learning process enjoyable. Under Temor's guidance, it has helped to boost my confidence, helping me become a skilled and confident driver. Thanks to Temor, I felt fully prepared and passed my driving test on the first try. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Mamun was my instructor for my time using Ahmed’s driving school, I couldn’t of have asked for a better instructor as I was able to pass first try!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ahsan to anyone looking to learn how to drive or to improve their driving skills. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication make him an exceptional instructor. Thank you Ahsan, for helping me achieve this important milestone!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with mamun Roshid as my instructor, and I passed with only 20 hours of lessons, I will would highly recommend him and this driving school to everyone. Thank you mauman and Ahmed driving school!!
Fantastic experience: I had Mamun as an instructor, I would highly recommend Ahmed Driving school to anyone who wants driving lessons. I only had 8 lessons (16 hrs) with Mamun but felt far more confident even in that time and passed my test after 2 months with him. They are very professional and flexible which is really good as I am a student. It has been very nice to learn driving with them and I would recommend them to anyone!!
Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Ahmed driving school, highly professional and talented instructors. Shorof has been very patient and supportive to me during this long journey.
Fantastic experience: Just passed first time with Zia Ahmed. Absolutely amazing instructor from the start, got me from a complete beginner to fully confident and qualified driver within just 3 months! Always made sure that I understood something new that I learnt before moving on, and always calm and considerate. Thank you Zia it’s been a pleasure having you teach me to drive!
Fantastic experience: I had Shorof and he was very helpful. He explained things nicely, was very calm and easy to talk to and would always arrive to pick me up on time. Because of Shorof I was able to pass first time. I’d highly recommend getting him as your instructor.
Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to Mamun Roshid for helping me pass my driving test! Patient, clear instruction, and a positive attitude made all the difference. Can't recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Ahmed Driving School stands out as a beacon of excellence in driving education, and Temor, one of their esteemed instructors, epitomizes this commitment to quality instruction. Under Temor's tutelage, each lesson became an opportunity for growth and mastery behind the wheel. His patient demeanor, coupled with a deep knowledge of driving techniques and safety protocols, created a supportive environment where learning flourished. Temor's personalized approach ensured that I not only learned the necessary skills to pass my driving test but also gained a comprehensive understanding of defensive driving principles. From mastering parallel parking to navigating complex intersections, Temor's guidance was invaluable every step of the way. Ahmed Driving School's curriculum, combined with Temor's expertise, left me feeling confident and empowered as a driver. I wholeheartedly recommend Ahmed Driving School and Temor to anyone seeking a transformative driving education experience. With their dedication and guidance, success on the road is within reach
Fantastic experience: Shorof is an excellent instructor and helped me pass first time with no minors! He's very knowledgeable, calm and easy to get on with, would higher recommend.
Fantastic experience: Mamun Roshid helped me pass first time in just about a month and a half from my first lesson, with 12 lessons in total. He is a highly experienced driving instructor and a great and helpful human being in general. I recommend his services with all my heart, and thank him for his work and dedication, always helping out new drivers. Many thanks to Ahmed Driving School as well for their help and services.
Fantastic experience: I just passed my practical driving test today with 1 minor with Emmanuel from Southampton. The lessons were amazing. Any issues we had we identified and fixed straight away before they became habits. He was very understanding of everything and went out of his way to help as much as he could. I would highly recommend Emmanuel as a driving instructor!
Positive experience: I had a bad and a good experience, that’s why I’m giving 3 starts. I’ll start with the bad experience. I contacted Ahmed and they allocated me with the instructor Temor. During the lessons we had, he constantly made rude and unnecessary comments about my driving skills, comparing it to people that crashed their cars. I felt that I wouldn’t pass any test, and reflecting and talking with other people I concluded that the problem was not me, but his unprofessional behaviour that shook my confidence. After 2 lessons, I asked to change instructor. The school not even apologised for the bad experience I had. The new instructor was called Ahsan, and this person was EXCELLENT! Very professional, polite and respectful. He taught me to improve my driving skills, and always commented on what was right and what was wrong. He was polite and respectful, and most of all, he believed in me and gave me the confidence that I needed. He is a great teacher, with great teaching skills. I highly recommended Ashan, but not the Ahmed school or Temor.
Thank you for being with AHMED DRIVING SCHOOL
Fantastic experience: Just passed with Mamunur Roshid as my instructor. I can highly recommend him as he was a fairly chill but very clear teacher, making learning to drive a pleasant experience. Booking through Ahmed Driving school's website was also very convient (paying by bank transfer worked perfectly) and their customer support on WhatsApp was great when lessons needed to be rescheduled. Mamunur also made sure to show me all the tough parts of Southampton before taking the test so nothing came as a surprise on the day. I'm very glad we found him and would definitely recommend this driving school!
Fantastic experience: I had an anmazing experience with Ahmed Driving School, particularly with my instructor, Shorof. With less than a month before my driving test and my previous instructor needing taking time off, I was concerned about my readiness. However, Shorof stepped in and did everything he could to prepare me. Not only did he cover all the necessary skills and techniques, but he also helped me with my confidence. Thanks to Shorof's guidance and support, I managed to pass my driving test with zero faults. I'm incredibly grateful for his commitment to my success. I highly recommend Ahmed Driving School.
Zero faults, thats great, see you on the road and thanks for your kind words
Negative experience: My rating is pointed towards the specific instructor Ramez. I have now passed under a different instructor, for which I will detail the story. The school itself has been fine but 1 star was given because I would like to make it known that the instructors they hire can be poor quality. I had loads of trouble and at times felt like he was stopping me from learning properly. I stuck with Ramez for about 20 hours as he was the only person with availability for me at the time and I struggled to find a replacement. Some decent things about the school: When Ramez cancelled on me last minute they did really well to find me a replacement for which I am grateful. But I was never given an apology nor any reimbursement. Just a curt message, "this is your new instructor please book your time slot. Your current instructor cannot cover for your exams." No reason at all was given. For context, I have driven before in the past so I was never a proper beginner and would not get nervous on the road. However, I definitely needed the right information to pass my exams. Now onwards to the issues. 1. The biggest gripe I had was how Ramez cancelled on me last minute, 5 days before my exam and I needed 2 weekend lessons. I was never told the reasons and I assumed it was extenuating so did not think too much about it. However, I heard through the grapevine that he went on holiday and mind you it was during ramadan, so you can be the judge of that. This was also something which I wouldn't be surprised about as he has confessed he cancelled on students last minute before for poor reasons. 2. Ramez always runs late. Out of my 10 lessons 7 he would be late. 15-30 minutes late. He has cited traffic in the past which I understand but it was too often to overlook. 3. He gets impatient in the car and would shout at me for making mistakes. Yes I understand you have told me once but until I do it a few times I am bound to make mistakes. This is a huge red flag for any teacher. I have been shouted at whilst on roundabouts and mid-turn. A few times I was very close to getting into a verbal fight with him but refrained as it would've affected the lesson and safe driving. He was unprofessional and rude. The issue here was that it was too often to ignore. 4. He is very bad at providing feedback and tailoring lessons to my needs. I expressed concerns about roundabouts and wanted to practice them, but he would refuse and keep me on meeting traffic for the majority of the lesson. This meant in lessons I said I wish to focus on roundabouts I would only do 3 minis and 1 large one roundabout. The same issue occured with parking when I could've done a good 5-10 maneuvors but he would only allow me do 1-2 citing time restraints. It wasn't until I put my foot down that he would let me do the parking maneuovers properly. It always felt like he was delaying my learning to make me do more lessons. 5. He would constantly point out things I should be doing independently despite the fact that I was going to be doing exams and required much more independence. An example is: moving off traffic lights by lesson 10 he would still keep saying check check as we move off. So the students will never gain independence. 6. Poor car. Gas pedals never felt responsive. Breaks were slightly slack and would never respond well. I wish I could say better things but I think the school itself from management perspective is decent but you need to really look out for some of their instructors. This is honest constructive feedback and I hope both Ramez and the school can learn from this and improve.
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test today; Temor was an incredible instructor, the best i’ve had. He made me feel comfortable, was super kind and calm and i felt more confident than ever in a car. I only had a few lessons with him but it made all the difference in my driving.
Dear Bee, we are honoured by your review! It's great to know that we could deliver on our promise of exceptional service. Thank you for your support. Ahmed Driving School Team
Positive experience: Started my lessons in October'23 with Sheroff of Ahmed school, Southampton. Rite from Day 1, he was a complete professional and a skill full instructor, he hasn't hesitated to point out my mistakes without any delay at that moment rite away. Which makes the learners like me understand the mistakes on the spot, Bang!!!, It has helped a lot and he didn't let me appear for the test unless he is sure of me passing and that really paid back well in clearing the test at the first attempt. In the making of this class i made a good friend as well. Thanks You Sheroff Bro. Wish you all success Bro... Thanks to Team Ahmed Driving school for making this happen.
Dear Satish, we are honoured by your review! It's great to know that we could deliver on our promise of exceptional service. Thank you for your support. Ahmed Driving School Team
Fantastic experience: Ahmed Driving School and instructor Mamun Roshid, offers a top-notch driving learning experience. Mamun's patient teaching style and extensive knowledge of road safety make the process enjoyable and effective. With his guidance, I quickly gained confidence behind the wheel. The school's professionalism and well-maintained vehicles further enhanced the learning environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Ahmed Driving School and Mamun to anyone seeking comprehensive driver education.
Dear Ani, thank you for your positive review! We're really happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. We look forward to see you on the road in the future. Enjoy Happy Driving - Ahmed Driving School Team
Fantastic experience: I had the most amazing experience with Mamun Rasheed as my driving instructor! He was the epitome of professionalism, understanding, helpfulness, and patience. Can you believe that with just four lessons, I passed my driving test on the first try? From being a nervous wreck, I transformed into a confident driver, all thanks to Mamun. I would highly recommend him as a driving instructor to anyone who is looking for an exceptional driving experience. And let me tell you, booking through Ahmed's driving school was a breeze! It was quick, easy, and hassle-free. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to learn how to drive like a pro!
Dear Jacek, we are honoured by your review! It's great to know that we could deliver on our promise of exceptional service. Thank you for your support. Ahmed Driving School Team
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my driving lessons at Ahmed Driving School and passed my driving test. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My instructor, Zia, was exceptionally professional. His expertise and seasoned approach made every lesson valuable. Zia’s in-depth knowledge about the driving exams and requirements ensured that I was well-prepared. He patiently addressed my questions and concerns. The teaching style was effective and tailored to my needs with clear instructions, boosting my confidence behind the wheel. Additionally, the school assisted me in securing test dates at convenient times, which was crucial for my busy schedule. In summary, Ahmed Driving School is highly recommended for anyone eager to learn how to drive. Whether you’re a beginner or seeking to improve your skills, their instructors are top-notch. Thank you, Ahmed Driving School, for helping me become a confident and safe driver!
See you on the road, cheers
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Zee as my driving instructor. Great guy, made driving a less stressful experience compared to my previous instructor. Would definitely recommend.
Dear Parker, thank you for your positive review! We're really happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. We look forward to see you on the road in the future. Enjoy Happy Driving - Ahmed Driving School Team
Fantastic experience: I started my lessons with Zee back in September and this guys had me prepped and passed so much sooner than I thought! He was professional, down to earth, incredibly knowledgeable and really reliable and respectful. He always made my lessons work for me even with my busy schedule, which I cannot thank him enough for. It was an amazing and thoroughly enjoyable experience where I not only trusted him as a driving instructor, but also made a really good friend in the process. Cannot recommend this guy enough. Friendly, always on time and a real positive attitude through and through. Thank you for everything. All the best!
Fantastic experience: When I first started with Ahmed driving school, I was with a driver who I didn’t think was best for me. I called up the school and they quickly arranged for me to start with Zishaan. Zishaan understood my level straight away and focused on aspects of my driving that needed most work. He had a very laid back style, and let me get on with my driving. He was also firm and realistic when he had to be, which was great. Zishaan was also realistic and told me if I was ready or not to go for my exam. He’s a young instructor, but I’m sure he’s better than many other old guys in the sector, what a legend. If you go for Ahmed driving school, definitely ask for Zishaan, he’ll pass you with flying colours.
Dear Deniz, we are honoured by your review! It's great to know that we could deliver on our promise of exceptional service. Thank you for your support. Ahmed Driving School Team
Negative experience: I had to come back here to make this review after leaving this driving school to another one and after a couple of lessons with the new driving school that i went to I am pleased say I passed. However, my experience with Zia was horrible. He would rude and shout at me after paying so much money to them. I simply just had to put it out there. His manner of approach was zero and he wasn't calm at all. Completely rude.
Dear Chioma. Thank you for taking time & write a review. Congratulations on passing your test. We have tried two different test centres every time it’s was unfortunate something was happening on the road while you are with exminiores. If I remember correctly I was your second instructor. I remember on your own word you told me “Zia you are the best”, “I learn a lot in this lesson”, “I think I’m ready to pass”. Etc. just because exminor didn’t think you are ready to pass I now become the rude instructor.

Fantastic experience: Zia is a great driving instructor. He is very calm and collective. Always points out what to avoid doing and making sure you do not pick up any bad driving habits. Before the exam He reminds you what to watch out for how to approach it. I would definitely recommend Zia as an instructor. Ahmed schoold was very swift and always responded within reasonable time. Price seemed reasonable and transaction were swift.

Emmanuel went above and beyond with his teaching such that you would not only be test ready but a safe and competent driver at the end of your driving journey.
Fantastic experience: I passed! My instructor Najib Hakimzada was brilliant and I couldn't have done it without his instruction and guidance. I can only appreciate his patience, honestly and professionalism in helping me get across the finishing line. Thank you very much Najib.
Fantastic experience: Mamun Roshid is the best driving instructor money can buy. Thank you to Ahmed driving school for providing excellent teachers. Passed with very few lessons highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I had an outstanding experience with Ahmed Driving School, thanks to Instructor Zeeshan. His patience, thoroughness, and personalised approach in each lesson were exceptional. Zeeshan's clear guidance and valuable feedback significantly enhanced my driving skills, leaving me feeling confident and fully ready for the test which I passed within 4 months of turning 17.
Fantastic experience: Had the best driving lessons with Abdullah after going through two previous instructors. Brought back my confidence and managed to pass my test with him thanks so much definitely recommend to learners. I learnt more with this instructor in an efficient and knowledgeable manner he was very informative.
Fantastic experience: Zia and Hashim in Ahmed Driving School were my instructors. Both of them are amazing! Hashim used Google Map so that I understand the roads better.

Dear Taz, we strive for excellence, and your feedback helps us in our continuous improvement efforts. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Happy Driving...Ahmed Driving School team
Negative experience: I was friendly with the instructor; I paid for first 2 lessons foremost to see if I get along with the driver and if he is encouraging nice. It went good, in fact instructor even sensed when I was getting overwhelmed, pulled to a side, gave me a prep talk and asked me to breath and enjoy before starting again. I decided to stick with the instructor after first 2 classes and paid for about 20 hours. After 3rd class however things turned for the worst! Instructor had anger issues, yelled at me even, imitated me once too and made me cry even. Things didn’t ease up the next day. I did not understand as we were quiet friendly. I think he would have been a good instructor if he was patient. I gave my theory test a while ago and was post maternity leave. Instructor was not happy to integrate theory and it’s application on the road and expected me to know when to stop and at what point, which lane to take, middle or left. Got quiet cross with me. I had to cancel my classes eventually and ask for a refund. I have decided to take up another driving instructor now. They also don’t cover emergency so I wouldn’t say the service is good for mums who want to learn: I couldn’t take a lesson once because of my baby getting sick on one specific day, it was an emergency situation and I couldn’t attend the class, instructor charged me full for the class not taken and didn’t want to understand emergency. The instructor however cancelled on me when they needed the time. They said we have informed you a week before about drivers cancellation so it’s acceptable for the company to cancel on classes. Overall, I think the company could be more professional. The company definitely needs to improve on communication and the instructor on his interpersonal and communication skills and whether he would want to take up candidates who have taken their theory test a while ago. The company knew everything about me before taking me up so not sure how things went wrong. The only positive I would say is that they generated the refund quickly after reminding them twice and the instructor knew his job but delivered it poorly despite me being chatty and friendly. The company did offer change of instructors but I had already developed trust issues as the first 2 classes were good.
