Negative experience: Not recommended! If you are a foreigner. They won’t take you in the waiting list. Very disappointed! !
We advised this person that we are fully booked and are not taking further bookings at this particular time. This is the reason he left this review. We have never spoken or met this person all correspondence was done by WhatsApp.
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, passed first time, will recommend to anyone and everyone if they want to pass asap!

Thanks Stu, appreciate you given me the opportunity to teach your two daughters. And great that they both passed on their 1st attempts . We wish them both well for the future
Fantastic experience: PASSED FIRST TIME WITH 0 FAULTS… I chose Hardman driving as they had amazing reviews online, and they were local to me. I started my lessons at the start of 2022, and Dave has been the most fantastic driving instructor with so much patience. I’ve just went in for my test today and passed first time, with 0 faults. Can’t thank Hardman driving school enough! X

Well done katie

She had me feeling fully prepared today and can't thank her enough for my result! ❤️❤️
Well done
Fantastic experience: brilliant, Dave had me test ready in a few months. passed first time on my test and after having him teach me i feel i am very confident in my driving. definitely the best in Crosby
Thanks Dylan it was great working with you from start to finish. We'll done for passing first tim.
Fantastic experience: I’ve spent 30 hours learning to drive with Dave at Hardman Driving School and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He is easy to get along with and gives clear and accurate instructions making it very easy to learn. He teaches in a new manual ford puma which i found to be very comfortable and easy to drive. There is always enough time given to learn each section of your test so that you can learn at your own pace with Dave to guide you along the way. I want to thank Dave for all the help learning with him and leading me to a first time pass. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him as an instructor. Thanks again, Dan
Thanks Daniel hope you enjoy your driving
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Helen for automatic lessons. I had learnt manual with 2 different instructors and was very nervous before starting with Helen. For the first time I enjoyed driving lessons! Helen is calm, patient and was flexible when I needed to swap days.
Thanks Sarah a pleasure meeting and teaching you enjoy your driving
Fantastic experience: I chose Hardman Driving School because reviews were great and they were local to my area. I drove the manual Ford puma with Dave. The car is brand new so the handling and interior is top of the range and is definitely worth the price of the lessons. Dave was a lovely instructor he was always on time and was in constant contact during the 24, 1 and 2 hour lessons I spent with him. He was very approachable and he answered and demonstrated questions/driving techniques maneuvers in an honest and friendly way. I passed first time thanks to Dave's help and it is a massive positive when the instructor is just as good as the car. Class all around I couldn't rate and recommend him any higher. If you are in the Crosby Waterloo area and looking for an instructor look no further. Thanks Dave for all the help and support. Take care Brad
Thanks Brad pleasure to teach enjoy the driving
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Hardman driving school enough! I was lucky enough to do my lessons with Helen in an automatic vehicle, not only was the car fantastic to drive it was always spotless. Helen was also amazing on each lesson, always calm and knowledgeable and never made me feel silly or nervous. I always looked forward to my lessons and passed my test today, couldn’t be prouder or happier!
It was lovely teaching you thanks Katie
Fantastic experience: Started driving in my late 20's and was pretty nervous about sitting behind the wheel for the first time. Dave is really calm and great with new learners.

Hi will thanks for your review safe driving
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time doing manual lessons with Dave, couldn't recommend enough. Dave was very patient and taught me all I needed to know, not only for the practical test but for general driving afterwards. He was very accommodating of my last minute cancellation this week too, so I could get a couple of hours in before my test which made all the difference.
Hi Ben thanks for your review hope you are keeping well
Fantastic experience: I was directed to Helen by my cousin who had also passed with her. I was desperate to drive after having my second child but didn’t have much confidence and was nervous after dipping in out of lessons for a few years. Helen really made me relax and not over think things that had previously seemed difficult to me. She is laid back and always fitted me in around the kids and childcare. I would definitely recommend Helen to anyone wanting to learn how to drive an automatic. And I passed first time which I couldn’t believe Thanks Helen!
Thanks for your review
Fantastic experience: Couldn't of wished for a better instructor, Very professional and always calm, I really struck lucky finding dave, never missed a lesson and was always spot on time, the only downside was having to say goodbye after passing my test, thanks for everything Dave

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Helen enough for teaching me how to drive. I was under pressure to be driving by a specific date and Helen went above and beyond to make it happen for me, including working on a day she would normally be off.
