Fantastic experience: Passed yesterday (3 minors only). Thank you Sid for all your help and guidance and the patience . I wouldn't have passed without your help.

Negative experience: I had my first lesson yesterday with SDS instructor Gurd (Blue BMW), and I am very disappointed with his rude behavior. When I made a mistake, he simply said, "Oh, you would fail your test if you made this mistake." As a learner, I expect constructive feedback, not discouraging comments. If an instructor speaks in such a rude manner and focuses on failure, how can I improve? This experience left me feeling very demoralized and disappointed. Since yesterday's lesson, I’ve lost confidence and feel extremely stressed.

Mahfuzah Islam 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had a test booked two days before my theory expired and my last instructor was no longer available a month before I had to go for my test. When I had my first lesson with Tanima she agreed to do lessons with me, but considering I failed my last few tests, I should look at retaking my theory. We had regular lessons and she was really patient with me. I think her being calm really helped me calm down and I was calm enough to pass my test. She was very wise and had a lot of advice and tips to share that helped me pass. She's very accommodating and was able to fit me in around my schedule and having the regular lessons really made everything easier to remember. I can't thank her enough for all she's done for me

E S 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Today I finally passed my driving test, after 3 years of wasting time with incompetent instructors only interested in making you spend money without the real desire to make you pass the test. I found Gurd, a trained and serious instructor who dedicated all his time to making me improve in driving, he taught me how to park by finding my reference point, which has always been impossible with other instructors. I can never thank him enough for his dedication to me. With just 12 and a half hours of intensive course he taught me everything that other instructors have completely failed at. Thank you very much Gurd. I wish you the best. Greetings from Elisa your Italian pupil !

Fantastic experience: I started my driving lessons at SDS Driving School a few months back and passed my driving test last week in the first attempt. I would recommend SDS and instructor, Sid, to anyone who is struggling to learn driving. His Excellent teaching and mentoring and support to helped me pass the tests.

I have a busy work schedule but sid was accommodating and planned the lessons so that we could make optimal use of the time we had. Thank you for providing such excellent training!

Casey Byrne 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Currently having lessons with Sid who has been amazing so far. Previously had 2 different instructors with different companies who weren't able to adapt to my learning style. Sid is very patient and understanding especially with nervous drivers. He gives constructive feedback that is helpful to gain confidence in becoming test ready. Sid will always go out of his way to accommodate lessons for when I need them even starting earlier than he would normally to ensure it fits around my busy schedule. Genuinely so happy with the level of support I have from Sid and his honest helpful feedback. Sid will talk through everything and explain this in ways that help me to understand fully. Thanks Sid! So glad you've not given up on me!

Fantastic experience: I want to give a big thank you to my instructor Raj! I couldn't have passed (FIRST TIME!!) without him. He has been incredibly supportive from the start, always understanding and explaining everything clearly. Most importantly, he has always believed in me. I couldn't recommend him more!

Richard 10 months ago

Negative experience: If I could put zero stars I would. My friend has just finished having lessons with Sid who seems to enjoy bullying young women. Last minute cancellations, charging for lessons HE cancelled, making fun of her, constant phone calls whilst on lesson, stopping off at MCDONALD'S less than an hour before test, you name it he did it. Filled her with no confidence and even said he doesn't care if she fails. If you have the misfortune of using SDS please avoid Sid. Dread to think how he treats people who don't pay his wages.

Alan Parkes 10 months ago

Negative experience: My Granddaughter has been having lessons with SDS. Sid who is a complete Nob, charged her £40 a lesson but kept cancelling on the day before a lesson Did this several times, he even cancelled twice before the day of her test ,she had a test today and he wanted £400 for the lesson that he cancelled . What a complete prick If anyone is having lessons with SDS. Please avoid SID

SDS Driving School
SDS Driving School

Hi Alan, we have looked into this matter and are dealing with it in a fair and professional manner. The instructor has provided us with all the proofs (what’s app messages). The lessons (8 hours) were cancelled twice by your granddaughter on the actual days of the lessons booked, on a very short notice of half an hour just before the lessons would have started. The amount you mentioned is not for the test day it is for all the cancellations made on the last minute. We would kindly request you to refrain from using the foul language and false accusations. Kind regards SDS Driving School

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a learner with Zahid for around 11 months now, I was a very anxious driver at first but he was always great at keeping my nerves to a minimum when starting my driving experience. He is very easy to get along with, being very friendly and chatty, and is a great driving instructor. I passed my test at South Yardley test centre last week with zero minors. I would recommend Zahid to anyone looking for a new instructor.

Fantastic experience: I passed my test with my Instructor Shally at Wednesbury test center. I highly recommend my driving instructor for her exceptional guidance and support throughout my journey to obtain a driver's license. Her patience and clear communication made each lesson enjoyable and productive. She tailored her teaching to my individual needs, ensuring I gained confidence in various driving scenarios. Her expertise played a pivotal role in my success, and I'm grateful for the valuable skills and knowledge she imparted during our sessions. My driving instructor's professionalism and dedication set her apart. She created a positive learning environment, fostering a sense of ease behind the wheel. Her attention to detail and emphasis on safety instilled a strong foundation that not only helped me pass the driving test but also equipped me for a lifetime of responsible and confident driving.

In addition to her technical expertise, my instructor's encouraging demeanor made the learning process enjoyable. She motivated me to overcome challenges and stay focused on improvement. Her constructive feedback, paired with a supportive attitude, made each lesson a positive experience.

Wahegurupal Sapra 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Antony from SDS Driving School, and I can't express enough how incredible my experience was. I owe a significant part of this achievement to Antony. Antony is not just an excellent driving instructor; he is a patient and calm mentor, which, in my opinion, are qualities that truly set him apart. Learning to drive can be a nerve-wracking experience, but Antony's unwavering patience made me feel at ease from day one. He creates a comfortable learning environment, ensuring I never felt rushed or pressured during our lessons. One of the standout aspects of my experience with Antony was his ability to move my learning progress forward efficiently. He tailored our lessons to my individual needs and constantly provided constructive feedback. His method of instruction is clear, concise, and easy to understand, which helped me grasp essential driving skills rapidly. What impressed me even more was Antony's dedication to my success. He managed to secure an earlier test date for me, enabling me to achieve my goal of passing my driving test within just three months. This level of commitment is something I genuinely appreciated and will always be grateful for. Because of this I managed to pass within IN 3 MONTHS!! I wholeheartedly recommend Antony from SDS Driving School to anyone looking to learn how to drive. His professionalism, patience, and expertise are truly exceptional. Thanks to Antony, I now feel confident and safe on the road, and I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to learn from him.

Nish Sharma 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Gurd was recommended to me by my sister who went to him after a poor experience with a different company/instructor. She said he helped her pass and stayed patient the whole time. I went in as a brand new driver and Gurd was great! He was friendly, we had great conversations during lessons and, most importantly, he was always calm and clear with instructions and very informative. I had lessons for a few months then went away to uni and when i came back (3 years later) we picked up where we left off and I passed in no time. Would recommend to everyone!

Grazyna Deja 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: For many years I thought I will never be able to drive. My family and friends kept pushing me to try. I thought okay, I’ll give it a try just to show them that I was right. I found SDS driving school and gave them a call. A few days later I met Sid (my driving instructor) and said to him that I will never be able to drive, and I’m here just to prove my family and friends that. Sid smiled and said ‘okay, we’ll see about that’. And…here I am a few months later driving with confidence and a smile on my face YES I am a driver !!! Thank you Sid for your knowledge, patience and experience, which ‘made’ me a driver !!!! Thank you SDS driving school for answering the call, which changed my life If you want to learn driving you need to call SDS driving school. Their instructors are highly qualified, experienced and reliable. Excellent service.

Fantastic experience: I'm always scouting for reviews when doing something new so hope this helps someone! I would definitely recommend Ant, he is an incredible instructor and helped me to pass first time which made me very happy that I chose to use SDS. He has well thought out lessons, is patient, clear and able to take the more complicated aspects of driving and make them seem simple. He also helps to make things more efficient, encouraging me to book my theory early so I wasn't spending more than needed at early stages and then fitting me in with extra lessons closer to the test to maximise potential for passing which worked!!

Tamera Bernard 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Found SDS driving school and enquired initially for an automatic driving instructor. I was called back about my enquiry the same day where I was allocated a driving instructor-Raj. We booked in my first lesson and I was nervous of course but within the first 10 minutes of getting in the car and talking through what we were going to do that lessons and going forward I immediately felt at ease. From there going forward I have had the most enjoyable experience I could've possibly wished for. Having several instructors prior to finding SDS & Raj none compared to these guys. Can't praise / recommend Raj enough, so calm when teaching he explains everything clearly, anything I was struggling on we worked through until I was comfortable, he was constantly reassuring and believed in me even when I was doubting myself & today I've finally passed thanks to SDS & Raj. Top driving instructor and would HIGHLY recommend.

Jovonnie “Jai” Reilly 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Alert ‼️ long post Passed today on my first test with Sid as my instructor. I’m an American living in the UK. I’ve been driving in America my entire life. With that being said I’ve developed years of bad driving habits. I’ve taken lessons with another instructor in the UK but from my very first lesson with Sid I could immediately tell the difference. He teaches based on your personal level. He was very honest and not just saying what you want to hear to book another session. The areas I lacked understanding was where he focused on. Everything is different for me as far as signs, roundabouts, zebra crossings etc. so it wasn’t something I could get in 2/3 lessons. Sid make sure I could get regular lessons even when it came to super early or late lessons based around my work schedule and his booked lessons. Sid made sure I was ready by my test date, even gave me a early Sunday morning lesson. Sid’s 17 years of experience showed clearly. I’m forever grateful for Sid and now having the freedom on becoming a licensed driver in the United Kingdom. I feel confident and know I can safely maneuver through keeping myself and other drivers safe. I will take what I’ve learned through my daily experiences. I’ll always hear him saying (would you feel safe to walk across the road) if not then don’t pull out. I give infinite stars to this driving school and will recommend all my unlicensed friends and anyone looking to drive safely. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough. I appreciate you Sid and grateful it’s instructions that’s trained under you to help people like me get their foot on the pedal with confidence ❤️

Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test first time with my instructor Ash. I can't recommend Ash enough, she is very good at getting you to driving test standard and pushing you to be the best driver you can be! Her lessons focused on fixing my problem areas. Highly recommend! Thanks Ash!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 experience, passed first time in Featherstone with Sid after a couple months of learning. His lessons were always thought out well beforehand and planned based on my current abilities, with intensive training on all aspects of driving, to improve further and succeed on the test date, Amazing guy to work and learn with and 100% worth the money and time to invest.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Sid. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience to teaching new drivers and his teaching style was tailored towards my individual needs which helped me to quickly gain my confidence on the road. He prioritised safety at all times ensuring that I was always aware of my surroundings at all times and teaching me defensive driving techniques that have been invaluable. Though his prices are a bit high than that of my previous driving instructor, it is worth every penny. Mr Sid was also very reliable always showing up in lessons on time and communicating effectively. I cannot recommend Sid highly enough to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thanks to him I now feel confident and safe behind the wheel.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend SDS driving school, my instructor (Gurd) was friendly and patient and tailored lessons to my needs. I would encourage anyone who is looking for an instructor to go with SDS, especially if you struggle with confidence and anxiety. I was recommended by my sister in law who passed with Amrik first time, she also has only positive things to say :)

Fantastic experience: Passed with Gurd at Wolverhampton Test Centre. Previously I had a bad instructor who was not helping me progress, so two weeks before my test I contacted Gurd who (on short notice) fit me in his schedule and made me a better driver for my test.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic learning experience with SDS driving instructor 'Mandeep'. I passed my driving test with only 2 minors. She is the most calm, patient and supportive instructor I've ever come across. I highly recommend SDS school and the amazing instructor Mandeep. Thank you so much Mandeep.
