1st Driving School Ltd: Reviews
Fantastic experience: After some research on which driving school to go for, reviews led me to 1st Driving School Ltd. I had the honour to be taught by Kevin. He wasn’t just an instructor, he was an instructor that cared and genuinely wanted you to pass. He tailors the lessons towards who you are, ensuring your upmost confidence and comfort. He even has tissues in his drawer for when nasty drivers honks at you when you’ve stalled the car for 1 minute, resulting you to cry (happened several times). Quality of the tissue is questionable but quality of this legend of an instructor, beats any other instructor across Britain. Passed first time with 3 minors. Thanks for changing my life Kev!
We appreciate your kind words! Congrats on passing your driving test. Enjoy the journey ahead!
Fantastic experience: I paased my test yesterday. my instructor was Kamal. He is amazing. He was so calm every time i had my lessons. He is very supportive, punctual , patient, and friendly. For this, my confidence in my driving increased . He always gave his 100% and tried to make lessons effective for me. He is a great instructor.
Congratulations on this amazing accomplishment! Thank you for choosing us, and remember to drive safely!
Fantastic experience: what a bloke, stuart nelson. i couldn’t have asked for a better instructor a proper good laugh and knows how to get things done. prices are fair and will even run over to get stuff done your not going to find that anywhere else. got thorough my lesson fast and confidently he will ensure you are getting everything you need to know done properly and quickly will never raise his voice or shout and is an amazing driver himself. i would recommend anyone to choose stuart!
Congratulations! We're delighted to hear you passed your driving test. Wishing you many safe and enjoyable drives ahead!
Fantastic experience: Andy was my driving instructor, he is patient, understanding and supportive! I highly recommend Andy as an instructor. I passed 2nd time around and he provided me with positive feedback and encouragement.
Wow, what a fantastic achievement! Thank you for trusting us with your driving education. Enjoy your newfound freedom and thank you for your fab review!
Fantastic experience: Ash is a really great instructor, he’s calm and super supportive. I’ve had multiple different instructors in the past and Ash was by far the best one, especially if you struggle with confidence and anxiety. I honestly don’t think I’d have passed without him. My last instructor I had for over a year and failed more than once, I was with Ash for a couple of months and he helped me to see where I was going wrong and taught me the right way and I was finally able to pass. Highly recommend, I’m so thankful I found him.
We’re so happy for you! Passing your driving test is a huge milestone, and we’re glad we could help you along the way!
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t have done it without Usman Baig, lovely gentleman who made me very comfortable and confident in my driving!
Congratulations on passing your driving test! We're proud to have been part of your journey. Drive safe and thank you for your kind words
Fantastic experience: I had a really great experience with Steve as my driving instructor, honestly such a lovely person and he was so patient with me at all times and never once made me feel discouraged or as if I wasn’t capable. He always believed in me and boosted my confidence right up until the day of my test. A big thank you again to Steve!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you passed your driving test. Safe travels!
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend 1st Driving School enough - Andy is an absolute credit to the team and I could not of passed without him. He had the patience of a saint and had faith in me at times where I didnt have faith in myself. I suffer with anxiety and Andy positively pushed me to be the confident driver that I am today. Forever grateful to you Andy!!
Thank you for the amazing review! Enjoy the freedom of the road!
Fantastic experience: This driving school is reliable and professional. Julian is a really good instructor! He is patient, experienced, and caring about learners' needs. I have recommended this driving school and Julian to my friends.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We take pride in helping our students succeed. Enjoy your driving journey!
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed working with Ash. I'd had instructors in the past who had made me feel stressed or unnerved and Ash had made me feel at eased. Was always happy to take extra time to help me feel calm throughout.
Thank you for your wonderful review! Your satisfaction is what we strive for. We wish you all the best as you hit the road!
Fantastic experience: I have had a few driving instructors whilst learning to drive and Dan at 1st Driving has definitely been the best! Super friendly and made me feel comfortable instantly! I have generally been a very nervous driver but Dan really helped me and I wouldn’t have passed without him!
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your lessons! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Safe travels!
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Steve more as a driving instructor! He is really patient and willing to go over anything you don’t understand to help! He helped me to build up my confidence while driving and was adaptable with my demanding work and uni schedule.
Congratulations on passing your driving test! Thank you for your trust in us—it’s been a pleasure to support you!
Fantastic experience: I passed my theory and practical first time with the instructor Andy. He was very calm and taught me a lot in such a small amount of time. I had no prior driving knowledge but soon picked it up as well as my confidence in driving within the first two weeks. Andy would always make sure I perfected the routes, manoeuvres before starting something new. Any time I made a mistake, we would re-do it until there was no longer any mistakes and anything I did positive, he would always make sure to point out what I did in order to reassure me that I was actually learning what I was paying for.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re excited to hear about your success and wish you many safe journeys!
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Kevin, who was very friendly and professional and offered reasonable prices. Never cancelled a lesson and helped me pass my test first time.
Congratulations! We’re so proud of you, and we appreciate your kind review! Safe driving!
Fantastic experience: Kev is a fantastic instructor. Perfectly tailored lessons to my needs and got me through my test really fast.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled you passed your driving test—enjoy the road ahead!
Fantastic experience: Sandor was amazing at teaching me to drive. Passed my test within 5 months of lessons with no prior experience and is very patient! Thank you!
We’re so happy to hear about your success! Thank you for choosing us, and drive safely!
Fantastic experience: Quick service and friendly customer service staff. My instructor immediately contacted me and set dates for my lessons. Tony is an amazing instructor! I passed for the first time and I think I couldn't make it without his passionate and comprehensive teaching. He is very professional and kind. He covers my driving weaknesses with lots of practice and knowledge which eventually turned into my strength. Highly recommended and deserved to be given more than 5 stars!
Congratulations on this achievement! Your kind words mean so much to us. Enjoy the freedom of driving!
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend this driving school enough and more specifically my driving instructor Julian Barker! He has nothing short of amazing when it came to providing a stress and anxiety free environment when driving. He’s such a professional and helped me passed my test first time round with zero driving faults.
We truly appreciate your feedback! It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed your time with us. Drive safely and best of luck on the road!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. Steve made me feel very comfortable and was always patient. My confidence improved a lot throughout the lessons, thanks to Steve. I would definitely recommend!
Lovely, thank you Kashvi

Fantastic experience: Jake Sharman - Stuart Nelson is without a doubt the best driving instructor to be taught by, calm, collected and overall very nice bloke to be around and taught by, will never shout at you for your mistakes will only correct you in the proper way which is most beneficial for your learning and preparation for your test. Wouldn’t have chosen anyone else but him and can safely safe every one of my driving lessons over the past 11 months has been more than a pleasure. Thank you - Jake sharman
Thank you for taking the time to send in your review Jake.
Fantastic experience: Had an incredible experience with 1st Driving School, my instructor Faizah was the best I could’ve asked for. She was patient, friendly, and an all round amazing teacher who was so able to adjust the way she taught to help me achieve this pass. I couldn't have done it without her! I would choose 1st Driving School and Faizah again in a heartbeat.
Fab review, thank you Mika.
Fantastic experience: I had a great time with 1st driving school. Passed my driving test the first time.
Thank you Ans.
Fantastic experience: I had an outstanding experience with Naz as my driving instructor. From the very first lesson, Naz's professionalism and patience stood out. His structured approach to teaching ensured that every lesson was well-organized and focused, making complex driving concepts easy to understand. Naz's ability to provide clear, constructive feedback and his encouraging demeanor helped build my confidence and skill behind the wheel. Thanks to Naz's expert guidance, I passed my driving test with flying colors.
Super review! Thanks a lot.
Fantastic experience: Kev was recommended to me by my wife who passed with his instructions and it was the best recommendation ever. Kev has been absolutely incredible and if it wasn’t for him I don’t think I would have passed as comfortably as I did. Kev is an absolute legend and I cannot give him enough credit!
Fab review, thank you Tom
Fantastic experience: After a pretty disappointing experience with Red's Driving School—where I felt like I was spending more time parked than actually driving—I was really unsure about continuing my lessons. But then I found Naz at 1st Driving School, and everything changed for the better. From day one, Naz made sure I was getting plenty of time behind the wheel, which was a huge relief after my last experience. But what really stood out to me was how calm and patient he is. Naz has this amazing ability to adapt to your learning style—whether you need more explanations, extra practice, or just a confidence boost, he knows exactly how to help. But beyond being a fantastic instructor, Naz is just a genuinely great human being. He’s honest, straightforward, and there’s never any sense of dishonesty or pressure when dealing with him. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants them to succeed, not just pass the test. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and confident on the road. Thanks to Naz, I passed my test and feel good about driving. If you’re looking for an instructor who’s not only skilled but also kind and trustworthy, Naz is your guy. I can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Naz, for everything—you’ve been amazing!
What a fantastic review! Thank you Curtis and well done on your pass!
Fantastic experience: steve was THE BEST! he helped me pass my driving test first time which was amazing and i was always having a go at him because i couldn’t find a test (even though it wasn’t his fault) and he always put up with me and made me feel better, driving lessons with steve were never stressful or sad like i hear others are but mine was always just funny and relaxing! he’s the best around couldn’t thank him enough x
Well done on your pass Ruby and thank you for your fab review!
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my test whilst using 1st driving my instructor was stuart and he was amazing, cracking some amazing jokes and loves to hold a great conversation, stuart is eager to get you driving on your first lesson which i found amazing. With just about 5 months of being with stuart i passed my test first time! Stuart is always there to support you in every way, including videos to assist you with driving around and he’s happy to go the extra mile to give you a little homework (which helped me massively). If i could go back 5 months and have stuart teaching me again i would do it, the bond that you will create with him is like no other. Overall stuart is an amazing teacher, he’s never snaps at you for doing something wrong instead he teaches you right from wrong, he’s an amazing man, very talented, funny, exciting and comforting whilst driving around tricky area. I looked forward to every lesson with him and i’m very thankyou for everything he did for me.
Nice review, thank you James
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of having Kevin as my instructor and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better as his cool calm and focused approach to teaching me was just what I needed to pass my test
Thank you for taking the time to send in your review

Fab review, thank you Ella!
Fantastic experience: Kamal, my instructor, was great. He pushed me but always within my limits and was focused on how we spent our lessons which helped me monitor my progress. Passed my practical today on my second attempt. Would highly recommend this company and Kamal.
Nice review, thank you so much Sabrina.
Fantastic experience: The best choice ever, was going with 1st driving school. The instructor they allocated me with was Kamal. Kamal is a an excellent teacher. Very calm, down to earth and soo easy to get along with. I have had 3 other instructors before kamal(from two different companies) that just wasn’t right for me but I’m glad that I finally found the correct instructor to teach me how to drive as I PASSED my test the FIRST time. I would highly recommend asking 1st driving school if Kamal works within your catchment area… Anyone can pass their driving test, you just need to have confidence in yourself and the correct instructor!
Thank you for your lovely review!
Fantastic experience: Z N Khan was a wonderful instructor and i really recommend him for future student
Thank you Jacob.
Fantastic experience: I don't tend to write reviews but I had such a great experience with 1st Driving School. I had Dan as my instructor and he is amazing! He is super kind, patient, professional and punctual. After having such bad experiences with previous instructors, Dan made me feel comfortable and made every driving lesson fun. Dan's invaluable knowledge and endless encouragement really helped me to become a more confident driver. Because of him I can proudly say I passed my test with 5 minors! Thank you Dan!
Lovely words, thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed learning to drive with Nadeem, who made me feel comfortable and confident from our very first lesson. Our lessons were well paced and appropriately challenging, but most importantly they were enjoyable! Thanks to Nadeem, I was able to pass first time. I had a great experience with 1st Driving School from my first lesson right up until my test day. Thank you!
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I passed in February 2024. I had Chris as my driving instructor who was a patient teacher. I would recommend this driving school. Wishing you the best

Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time with Sandor at ashfield test centre! Would recommend him to anyone that’s looking for an instructor. Thankyou so much!
Great review thank you
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with 1st Driving School. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor than Sandor. His knowledge and patience, friendly nature made every lesson both enjoyable and highly educational. Thanks to his expert guidance I am proud to say that I passed first time. I highly recommend choosing this school and especially Sandor to anyone looking to learn driving.

Fantastic experience: Sandor Kolcsar Amazing instructor he was extremely friendly and made the lessons really enjoyable. Very patient and knows what he’s talking about. Got me to pass first time after 3 months of lessons. Great guy
Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: My time spent with my instructor, Steve, was everything and more i could’ve hoped for whilst learning to drive. Steve was patient, kind, funny and clever in the way he taught things. There was never any pressure to learn at any other pace but the one that suited you. He made things easy to remember, fun and most importantly enjoyable. I can’t be more grateful for the time steve sacrificed for me to pass over the last few months, and definitely recommend him to anyone who was as desperate to drive as i was, he will 100% get you there and never give up on you. Thank you steve and 1st driving school.
Thank you Mia, such a lovely review for Steve.
Fantastic experience: Christine was a wonderful instructor, always supportive with lots of positive feedback. I looked forward to every lesson and her instruction helped me to pass first time with only one fault
Thank you, super review!
Fantastic experience: Kev is the best driving instructor you can get - he’s really easy to get along with and knows how to make you laugh if you’re feeling nervous at all. He also explains everything really clearly so you understand exactly what he means. I felt completely prepared when I did my test. If you can, definitely learn how to drive with Kev because you’ll be grateful you did. Thanks Kev!
Thank you Nina
Fantastic experience: Great service , Ash was my driving instructor and I passed with him 10/10 Recommend
Fab review and fab pass! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: 1st driving were able to match me with my instructor, Kamal. Kamal was a very lovely instructor, he was very patient, understanding and would always ask if I had questions, and if i did he would always answer them and never made me feel silly for asking. I had been to two previous instructors from different companies and had failed my driving test twice previously. After only a couple lessons with Kamal I was able to pass my driving test! His availability was great as we were able to work around my busy university exam timetable. I will recommend 1st driving to any of my friends. Thank you Kamal!
Thank you for taking the time to write this review and well done on your amazing pass!
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Ash as my driving instructor. From the very first lesson, he was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and professional. Ash has a unique ability to make you feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, even if you're a nervous beginner like I was. He provided clear and concise instructions, breaking down complex maneuvers into simple, manageable steps. Ash's teaching style is very supportive and encouraging, always providing constructive feedback and celebrating progress, no matter how small. His calm demeanor and positive attitude made every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. Thank you so much Ash, I passed my driving test. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive. You won't find a better instructor out there! Chaitanya Kumar
Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Had a really helpful and patient instructor in Rif who took the time to explain things to me in a clear and helpful manner. Passed first time due to his teaching skills.
Thank you for you super review.
Fantastic experience: I recently passed my driving test on the first attempt, just three days ago, after learning with Kamal Singh from 1st Driving School. I did a lot of research before choosing this school, and it truly paid off. Kamal is an outstanding driving instructor. His patient, clear, and encouraging teaching style made a significant difference in my learning experience. His lessons were well-structured and tailored to my pace, which helped me build confidence quickly. Kamal's deep knowledge of the driving test requirements and routes was invaluable. He provided practical tips and constructive feedback that greatly improved my driving skills. His professionalism and punctuality ensured that each lesson was effective and focused. Thanks to Kamal's exceptional guidance, I was able to pass my test in just two months. I highly recommend Kamal Singh and 1st Driving School to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.
Fab review thank you
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Kamal.He is the Best! He is very polite, has lots of patience and I always looked forward to my lessons with him.

Helps make the whole process easier, able to adapt approach to your needs and very encouraging and accommodating. Helps you feel at ease.

Amazing! Thank you so much Abbie.
Fantastic experience: Crystal is a great instructor! She was always friendly, patient and informative, always took the time to properly explain and go through mistakes to help correct habits that i'd picked up from past instructors and got me to a first time pass!
Great review thank you so much Charlie
Negative experience: My daughter had an absolutely awful experience. We paid upfront for 10 hours of lessons she was assigned an instructor called Tony Singh who clearly didn't have a clue. He picked her up drove her to a carpark and made her drive around it for the entire lesson. When she asked where they were going on the next lesson he said ‘we’ll go to the car park again’. He didn’t bring her home, he dropped her off around the corner on a completely different street (5 minutes walk away). He also informed her he has 3 weeks of holiday booked over the next four weeks so she wouldn’t be having many lessons over the next month. I phoned the company straight away, they said they couldn’t do anything and would get back to me which they did the following day. I have never been spoken to so rudely in all my life. The horrible woman on the phone tried to tell me my daughter is lying and blamed her rather than being sorry for the terrible experience of my daughter’s first driving lesson. I got my money back for the remaining hours paid and my daughter now has an amazing instructor with a different driving school. Stay away from this awful driving school! There is so much better out there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your daughter's lesson. Tony Singh, with over a decade of teaching experience, accommodated Chloe's nervousness effectively by starting her on a quiet car park for her beginner lesson. Chloe made good progress in steering, and Tony recommended starting the next lesson in a similar setting based on her confidence. Due to living on a dual carriageway, it was safer for Chloe to be dropped off around the corner rather than directly outside your home. Following this lesson, Tony was not away for 3 weeks as he even offered Chloe a lesson the following week.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Arshad.He was very patient and understanding, which really helped me gain confidence, especially since I was driving in a new city. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass my test in Colwick.I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor.
Great review, thank you very much.
Fantastic experience: Adeil Khan is the best instructor, had issues with previous instructors but managed to pass first time with Adiel Khan, he gave me confidence and calmed all worries. 1000% would recommend to choose Adiel Khan
Thank you
Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time. Enjoyable lessons and great instructor, highly recommend
Thank you Sheldon.
Fantastic experience: Joined up with Kev with 2-3 months left until my test, was nowhere near ready for it and he got me to pass first time Absolute legend would 100% recommend, sound bloke and great teacher.
Thanks Josh, much appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Thank you for being the best instructor ever! With your guidance and patience you taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive especially after a terrible experience with another instructor and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciated your encouragement. I would highly recommend Steve anyone who would like to learn to drive in a safe environment and become the best driver.
Lovley review thank you! Well done on your fab pass!
Negative experience: Update: they flagged my rating as fake. The lack of accountability is ridiculous, the driving instructor I had was a temperamental and aggressive man. Angry and wastes your time. I wouldn’t be inclined to leave a review usually, but after cancelling my lessons (because I simply didn’t want to be bullied every lesson) he called simply to argue and shout at me over the phone. Avoid Adiel at all costs. Very unprofessional!
We have no pupil or ex pupil with this name ** FAKE REVIEW **
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, really helpful help me pass in 17 lessons. Very calm when giving lesson , helped me boost my confidence in driving. Would Recommend!!! Thank you very much!!!
Lovely review, thank you for taking the time to send it.
Fantastic experience: I don't usually write reviews. I passed my test last Monday, I had Eric as my instructor and he is absolutely lovely and made me feel comfortable, he is very experienced and tries to tailor to each student's learning pace and style. He is great with letting me know about any slots that have opened up for lessons and has been excellent working around my 9-5 job. Overall I will highly recommend 1st driving and most certainly rooting for Eric! Thank you Eric!
Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I had a pleasure to drive with Nasir Khan and I will definitely recommend him to anyone who want to learn in a nice and friendly company. I've passed my test first time only because I've listened to Nasir and I know because of all he taught me I am a good and safe driver. Thank you Nasir.
Thank you for taking the time to send in your review.
Fantastic experience: Kev was amazing, he got my confidence up and the lessons were so enjoyable. I looked forward to driving every week with him, and he was so calm and fun to learn with. I passed first time with him, and I really could not recommend anyone more than him. If you're looking for an instructor that is super knowledgeable, but also gets you on the road having fun then Kev is your man.
Thank you Amber, great review!
Fantastic experience: I just want to say a big thank you to Andy Kerr!! I failed my test last year in 2023 which I then had to get a new instructor, I was referred to 1st Driving School, which Andy was able to give me lessons as he covered my area. About me, I am very very nervous in test situations, not confident in myself, felt like I wanted to give up in lessons because I can’t stand the nerves but from day 1 Andy had full confidence in me that I will pass my next driving test and that he was confident on ensuring that I build my confidence which in turn, my confidence got better for the next test. I passed my test today! 25/03/2024 with 5 minors I just want to say Thank you!!
Fabulous review, thank you so much Regina!

Fantastic experience: Excellent and well experienced driving instructors who will guarantee your licence as long as you listen to their advice and take in what you’re taught.
Thank you for your super review
Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful experience. Stuart, my >6ft tall driving instructor from 1st Driving school, deserves more than 5 stars! He's is friendly, humorous, encouraging and professional at the same time. I feel a bond already. Thanks to his effort( beyond regular) in getting me through this licence exam in the first go. I would highly recommend him to everyone around, if you're lucky enough to get the slots!
Thank you Anju and well done on your amazing first time pass!
Fantastic experience: Kamal was the best instructor! So patient and knowledgeable. Can’t praise him enough! Highly recommend!
Fab thank you
Fantastic experience: I was a very nervous learner, Usman Baig was nothing but kind and patient, putting me at ease and always explaing my mistakes. I found the 2 hour lessons to be super useful and I soon gained my confidence on the road; also passed my driving test. I would highly recommend Usman to everybody.
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: It has been an absolute pleasure to start my driving journey with 1st Driving school with Stuart Nelson as my instructor! Stuart is extremely kind, caring, supportive and has so much patience!! Stuart was constantly positive and had so much confidence in me even when I doubted myself and without him I would have not passed my test first time!!! I could not have asked for a better instructor and i will miss our lessons together and I guess his dad jokes! Thank you so much Stuart!
Great review thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend this driving school, especially Dan Evans. Started lessons 5months ago, and passed 1st time today with only 1 Minor Fault. I honestly wouldn’t have been able to do it without having Dan there teaching me. It was an absolute pleasure being taught by him. His character, and personality is just great. The laughs we had whilst on lessons I’ll never forget, but I still learnt ever so much each and every lesson. He has great patience, understanding, and puts you at ease right from the get-go. It’s bitter sweet now I’ve passed because I will miss our banter and the enjoyment each lesson gave me. He believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. I genuinely would recommend Dan and this driving school to everyone, I never had any problems, it’s priced really well, and I’m just pleased I got so lucky with finding an amazing driving school and Driving instructor straight away. Thankyou!! :D
Thank you so much Carla and well done on your super pass!
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Kevin Hopps from 1st Driving School more - he is patient, kind and absolutely hilarious which instantly put me at ease. He’s also incredibly knowledgeable about the roads and driving test - for someone who panics a lot this was great and I could’ve asked for a better instructor. Thank you so so much Kev!
Thank you Hannah
Fantastic experience: I loved my lessons. My instructor Crystal was really patient with me all the way through. When I had an issue with a manoeuvre she tried to approach the problem with a completely different perspective. Helped me a lot. Thank you!

Thank you Dilan and fab news on your pass!
Fantastic experience: My instructor Ash was the best! He really supported me until I was able to regain my confidence. He was hard when he needed to, and this really helped in pushing me to be a much better and safer driver and I was able to pass my driving test in the first attempt! Thank you so much!
Fab review thank you so much
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time with 3 minors with Kevin Hopps, highly recommend. He made me feel very comfortable in the car and is very reliable! Definitely would recommend him as an instructor!
Lovely review thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Recently passed with Mark (automatic) he was amazing to learn with, he was patient and made it less stressful. Would definitely recommend Mark especially if you’re a new or anxious driver!
Thank you Katie
Fantastic experience: In regard to my experience with 1st Driving School Ltd, I have not once encountered a single inconvenience which seriously altered my impression. It has been nothing short of a thrilling journey during both my lessons and driving test. My Instructor, Rafhat Shah was both fair and challenging. He would always make sure that I was well-informed about my vehicle and aware of how to carry out manoeuvres in good time. If there ever was a delay or a sudden cancellation, I would immediately be informed and have the time to comprehend the change. Ever since I passed my test and earned my full driving license, I have been absolutely satisfied with my outcome and would recommend this driving school to a friend or family member.
Congratulations on your pass Jake and thank you for taking the time to send in your review.
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Kamal Sing. He is so friendly and a very good instructor. He was always in time and more flexible person. Wishing him all the best.
Thank you Lovely
Fantastic experience: Nadeem is amazing. I passed 1st time with only 2 minors After changing driving instructor and putting of my test, Nadeem gave me the tools to finally pass and gain the confidence to go for it. He helped me with my anxiety and understood how to keep me calm and help me not stress out whilst driving and during my test. 1000% would recommend especially If you are somebody who has been trying to pass for a while.
Great review Holly and congrats on your fabulous pass!
Fantastic experience: After having 4 driving instructors I finally find the best one, Steve Sanghera. I couldn’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done and helped me achieve, he’s such a kind and calm person and I’ve always enjoyed the lessons with him, he makes you feel so comfortable within your lessons and confident. I always recommend him to everyone I know. Thank you Steve x
