He was incredibly calm and friendly from the outset and put all my nerves away. I could not recommend this company and Chris enough, it has been a joy learning to drive and i’ll always look back happily on the experience. Thank you Chris for helping me pass first time today!!
Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend! Chris was my driving instructor for automatic and not only did I pass my practical first time but I also passed my theory with him as well. He's super knowledgeable and remains calm, if you make a mistake, he explains it in a way that makes sense and is happy to answer any questions that you have! Have already sent some friends his way for lessons!

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Chris. He was knowledgeable, patient, and always reassuring. He helped me gain confidence behind the wheel which I believe is a key factor as to why I passed first time! I can’t thank him enough and I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a supportive driving instructor.
Fantastic experience: Chris was such an amazing and helpful instructor, I would genuinely recommend him to anyone! I passed first time an amazing experience.
Fantastic experience: I did automatic lessons with Chris to refresh after over 8 years of not driving. I was very nervous, but Chris was super patient the entire time, very kind if I struggled to understand something, and always made sure we got the most out of each lesson. I feel like we really used the time well, and he helped to build my confidence!
Fantastic experience: After learning on and off for 7 years with multiple instructors, I passed first time this week with Chris Watts. He made every lesson fun and relaxed and could not have asked for a better instructor! Definitely recommend☺️
Fantastic experience: had an amazing experience with chris! he is so patient, helpful and always happy to chat! managed to pass first time, couldn’t thank and recommend him enough!
Fantastic experience: Had to leave a review for Chris who is an amazing driving instructor, patient, reliable, and friendly. My son felt very comfortable learning to drive with him. He taught my son easily and today my boy passed his practical after a short time learning to drive. Thank you for making it seem so simple and painless. You deserve more then 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: Thanks so much to Chris for a great learning experience! He was calm, patient & flexible with lesson timings. Supportive advice meant I felt confident and ensured a first time pass in a good timeframe. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Chris my instructor made me feel at ease and carefully explained everything on my lessons, making sure I always felt comfortable to proceed. And thanks to him I passed first time today!! 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Chris Watts is in amazing driving instructor, patient, reliable, and friendly. Flying Colours were fantastic! Prices are great, I had personal circumstance which meant I'd been wanting to pass my test sooner rather than later, we were able to bring it forward several months and I passed with 'flying colours' I'd recommend these guys if your looking to pass your test with confidence, reliabilty and a pass!
Fantastic experience: Chris was an incredible instructor. I was really nervous and doubted a lot of my own abilities and he put me at ease instantly. I’m now a confident driver thanks to him. He’s really chatty and you’ll have a good laugh along the way too. I passed 1st time and that’s all thanks to him believing in me and calming my nerves. You won’t find better anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: Chris Taylor is an instructor you would want to pass your test in your first try..I highly recommend him as his methodology makes a positive impact to build up your confidence to face your fears on the road…He is kind, patient and genuine …
Negative experience: My son started his driving lessons with pass with flying colours, he completed 9 hours worth of lesson's, to then be told by his instructor that he was leaving as he had another job. I contacted the company several times with no response. My calls went unanswered as did my text messages. No support from the company and no offer of an alternative instructor. Not even an apology. Very disappointed!! We now have to find another instructor so that there isn't a gap in his learning but that's easier said than done!!
Fantastic experience: Chris was my driving instructor for nearly a year and he was very calm, patience and helpful. I have had previous instructors and always struggled learning to drive but Chris made it all make sense and im so happy to have finally passed. I would recommend flying colours and Chris to everyone
Fantastic experience: Had Chris as my instructor and he was incredible. Had a pretty bad start to driving with previous instructors who were truly awful so I had really low confidence when I began driving but Chris is a very kind, patient and funny guy. I always felt great after every lesson, he always made me feel safe and confident even when I messed up. Thanks to him I sailed through my lessons and passed my test on my second attempt! Truly a wonderful instructor, thanks Chris - Case
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning from Chris. Straight from the start he made me feel at ease. I passed my test with no faults !! I honestly cant recommend this lovely family business anymore!!
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much Chris! I cannot recommend Chris enough, throughout my driving journey Chris has been nothing but patient, Attentive and has shown so much belief in my driving skills. I couldn’t of wished for a better instructor and experience in learning to drive! Thank you for making my lessons so fun, informative and easy :)
Fantastic experience: I would like to acknowledge the incredible dedication and support I received from Chris throughout my journey towards obtaining my driver's license. Despite facing setbacks and failing my driving test three times, Chris never lost faith in me. Each time, he patiently guided me through the process, ensuring that I understood and learned from every mistake. What impressed me the most was his unwavering belief in my abilities. Even when I felt discouraged, Chris always saw my potential and motivated me to keep pushing forward. He constantly reminded me that failure is only a stepping stone to success and that I had the capability to overcome any challenge. I am grateful for his attention to detail and his ability to identify the little errors that were holding me back. Rather than overlooking these mistakes, Chris took the time to address them and provided me with the necessary guidance to correct them. His commitment to my growth as a driver was truly commendable. Finally, on my fourth attempt, I passed my driving test with flying colors. It was a testament to both my determination and the unwavering support of my instructor Chris. I couldn't have done it without his belief in me and their constant encouragement. I highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking not only a skilled and knowledgeable teacher, but also someone who truly cares about his students' success. He have the ability to transform setbacks into opportunities for growth, and their unwavering support can make all the difference in achieving your goals on the road.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test with thanks to my instructor, Chris! It would not have been possible without clear, supportive, patient teachings from him. I was able to build my confidence on the road and now feel I am ready for the next step ahead. I would highly recommend Flying Colours to anybody seeking to learn to drive!
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Chris enough ! His skills and patience for teaching are remarkable. He has been amazing!

Fantastic experience: passed my test 2nd time at dorchester with the help from chris, many thanks :))
Fantastic experience: Chris has taught my son to drive over a period of time. He's been a great instructor. Taking time to make sure he is comfortable and understands exactly what needs to be done. He passed first time. He's now on to teaching my next son. Chris is reliable, knowledgeable, understanding and encouraging. I don't hesitate to recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Chris as my instructor I did also start of in manual with Jhon who was also excellent but decided to go on to auto! I can’t put into words how happy I've been with my whole experience using flying colours, Chris was so patient and friendly & such a good teacher. I have been and will continue recommending them to anyone looking for a driving school! Thank you so much Chris & Jhon
Fantastic experience: Much like all of the other reviews I can’t recommend Chris highly enough! I used to have driving anxiety from previous bad experiences with other instructors but never once felt anxious with Chris. His consistent positive feedback really helped boost my confidence. Passed with 1 fault in Dorchester yesterday and I’m over the moon. Thank you so much Chris!
Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time today with automatic instructor Chris watts! Thank you so much for all the help and being so helpful withmy anxiety! Would highly recommend learning with flying colours! Amazing instructors who are calm, kind , have amazing patience and great knowledge!
Fantastic experience: I passed 1st time today with massive thanks to Chris! Learning to drive can be incredibly tough and challenging, previously I have had multiple driving instructors that have not been patient, tricky to communicate with as I was a very nervous driver. It has been rewarding to find finally a fantastic instructor who has really helped my progression and confidence on the road. He’s been incredibly patient and kind with a few good laughs on the side, I would highly reccomend Chris to seize great results and surpass your nerves.
Fantastic experience: I had both Debbie and Chris as automatic instructors- both absolutely brilliant, helped settled nerves and build confidence on the road. As an "older" learner I was very nervous and they both helped put me at ease. Would Highley recommend
Fantastic experience: I just passed my driving test. I couldn’t thank you enough Chris for patiently teaching me all the way from the beginning to managing my nerves during my test. I passed with 1 minor ( just tell me question). I definitely recommend flying colours. Thanks to John too.
Fantastic experience: I had Chris as a driving instructor and could not recommend him more. Helped me pass my test after just 3 months of learning!
Fantastic experience: Recently passed with instructor Chris and couldn’t be happier with my experience. He was always so calm and feedback was always given from him in a positive, motivating manner which also put myself at ease. From the first lesson to the day of the test lessons were enjoyable and progressed well thanks to Chris! He also took time on a Saturday, 2 days before my test, to do a 4 hour lesson with me which helped so much as I wasn’t familiar with the area of the test. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Chris and all the best to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I passed yesterday in Dorchester with Chris, throughout my time learning to drive Chris has always been a very calm teacher which when learning to drive is extremely important! Always kept me at ease, friendly and professional. Thank you for sticking with me and for all the encouragement you’ve given me in lessons. Great teacher! Thank you Chris for helping me to pass
Fantastic experience: Took around 10-15 lessons with Chris and can honestly say it was a very comfortable and knowledgeable experience. Absolutely top guy who goes above and beyond to make you feel confident at all times. Not once did I feel judged when making errors. Really laid back guy who clearly knows his stuff as I passed first time comfortably. Cheers Chris
Fantastic experience: I tried and failed to do lessons consistently, but that all changed after being with Flying Colours! Chris is the reason I've finally passed my driving test and it's changed my life!
Fantastic experience: I have passed my driving test on the first attempt. All the credits goes to my instructor Colum. He has helped me a lot with precise feedbacks for the improvements and also boosted my confidence before the test. He is punctual with the sessions and very patient. I highly recommend him. Thank you once again for your great support.
Fantastic experience: Chris was a fantastic instructor. Very patient and made me feel relaxed. Would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive
Fantastic experience: Would 110% recommend chris as a driving instructor to anyone wanting to learn how to drive. From the first lesson he made me feel comfortable and confident with my driving. Even when I had little hiccups along the road, he helped me feel safe and reassured me on what to do and how to persevere. Couldn’t thank him enough!
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving instructor. Could not have passed my test without the confidence he gave me. I would recommend Chris to any learner that needs to learn and do their driving test. Top man Chris thank your you put into my learning.

Fantastic experience: Passed my test today with Chris Watts! He is such a good driving instructor, can’t thank him enough. He was always patient, kind and supportive in every lesson.
Fantastic experience: Chris W was my instructor at Flying Colours. Was. He was my instructor because Chris helped me pass my test! He is a excellent gentlemen. Informative. Calm. Encouraging. Engaging. His years as a education teacher really have shaped him at being good at delivering education in a fun way. Learning to drive is serious matter, but driving with Chris is a bit like driving with a very good freind. And I mean that in a very complimenting way. He makes you feel alert but calm and made me feel like i have been driving with him for years, even though we only met for lessons. He is now in my anniversary diary and look forward to seeing him on my travels in my own car this time! Thanks very much Flying Colours and of course Chris W. Very chuffed to have met and honoured to have had a instructor like him!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with CHRIS... He was a very calm, patient and understanding instructor, will recommend him any day and time. Passed at 1 go! Thanks Chris, thanks Flying colours!!!
Fantastic experience: I passed my test just today!! Was taught by the amazing John who was so patient and challenged me at my own pace from the beginning. Always felt comfortable driving and could have a good laugh. Cannot thank you enough! He taught both of my sisters and they had a similar successful experience.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Flying Colours to anyone looking to learn to drive, great service and very friendly! Chris is a brilliant teacher, he made me feel very at ease, right from the start, gave me so much confidence and we had a good laugh. I have looked forward to all of my lessons and never felt nervous, so happy to be able to drive! Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: i would highly recommend learning to drive with flying colors and especially John Butt. i have had a few different driving instructors in the pass but none of them where as good and John Butt. John was an amazing teacher and made me feel ready to take my driving test and pass it. he was very patient and made sure that i understood where my mistakes were and that I know what to do to correct them. He made me feel confident in the choices I made and most importantly made know when my choices where the best in the situation or what i could have done better. John is a very lovely person who teaches incredibly well and has a laugh while doing so. i don't feel like i would have every passed my test without him. I couldn't recommend john or flying colors any more, they are amazing.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with my instructor John at Flying Colours, having recently passed my test on my first attempt! With no previous experience, I was initially nervous - however John was so easy to get on with, he quickly made learning fun and helped me gain confidence on the road. If you don't mind a bit of teasing now and then, he is a really good laugh and I always looked forward to our lessons. Also, he was excellent for test preparation and really pushes you to do your best, beyond the requirements of the test. I'll easily be recommending John and this school to my friends and anyone else who wants to learn to drive. Thanks again John!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with flying colours. My instructor was Laura and she’s helped turn me from an anxious and nervous driver into a confident one. They have been brilliant after years of setbacks at personal and national levels. I couldn’t be more happy with how they helped handle everything. Thanks so much Laura. Couldn’t recommend this company more for anyone who wants to learn in a positive environment.
Thanks for such a great review Grace. We are so pleased you enjoyed your lessons and have become a confident driver.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend learning to drive with flying colours. Chris was an amazing teacher throughout. As a first time learner he makes you feel very at ease and comfortable in the car. He is extremely patient when your learning and full of praise when your doing well. No question was a silly question and he’s always happy to run over things time and time again. He made me feel confident in my driving - not only to pass my test but to continue to drive well and confidently there on after. Never did I feel any time was wasted on lessons and his time keeping and flexibility was always great. Big thanks again

Thanks for such a great review and we are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours
Fantastic experience: I heard many, many fantastic things about Flying Colours in past so have decided to give it a go myself. I started my lessons at the end of June 2021. I'm a mum to a 4 year old and working full time - with such a limited time to take lessons I was surprised how smooth everything was going . I passed my test middle of March 2022 first time with only 2 faults and I could not be more proud of it. I became more confident and feeling more independent now. ALL THANKS to Chris W. and Flying Colours! My lessons were fun, relaxing and full on - they don't waste time taking you to drive around car park for hours . The best experience. I would highly recommend !!
Thanks for such a great review and we are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours
Fantastic experience: Cannot thank Chris enough for being so calm, patient and professional. It’s been a long journey due to all the lockdowns and covid but I finally passed my test today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Chris your a legend!! Would highly recommend using Flying Colours.
thank you for a great review. We are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours
Fantastic experience: If your looking for a kind and supportive instructor, Chris is your Man! After negative experience with a different instructor, Chris built up my daughters confidence so she passed her test. She came back from lessons relaxed and happy as before she had been very stressed . Thanks Chris!
Thank you for a great review. We are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours
Fantastic experience: Passed my automatic driving test with Chris today! I’m so thankful to Chris, it’s been a long journey but he’s always made me feel confident in my driving. He’s patient, supportive and great at helping ease nerves, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Highly recommended!!
Thank you for a great review. We are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours
Fantastic experience: Chris is a legend ! I was very worried having just moved to the UK and seen how driving seemed like in a different country . I was clear about my objectives of wanting to pass first time only . This was just a matter of weeks to my practical driving test . I contacted Chris having heard good reviews from colleagues and we had lessons . Straightaway ,he takes you through what’s expected of you as a driver . He talks you through scenarios that you may encounter and then goes on to demonstrate them to you . He is very hands on , patient and always goes over everything in detail to be sure you’re safe . He makes you confident in taking independent decisions and he’s very clear and honest in his reviews ! He monitors your progress and you’d be surprised at the next lesson how much he could remember from the last time ! Before every session , both parties know what’s going to happen on the next lesson ! Even when I felt too comfortable later on with my lessons , Chris purposely tested some manoeuvres again with more emphasis on technique and safety . They served as timely reminders and these things would stay with me always anytime I get behind the steering wheel ! I think if I could do it , you too can pass first time with Chris ! Most importantly , be a safe driver ! Thank you so much !!!
Thank you for a great review. We are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours
Fantastic experience: Very grateful to Chris Watts who supported me through a long time of learning (unfortunately interrupted by covid) to be able to pass my (automatic car) test today! He has been so patient and calm, always ready to listen and respond to any questions or concerns, and great company too! Lessons have been such a positive experience. I would recommend Chris and Flying Colours to everyone ☺
Thank you for a great review. We are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours
Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Chris Watts from flying colours enough. I started my driving lessons 2 years ago, and had to navigate through lockdowns and covid. I’ve had tests postponed and cancelled and without Chris I would of given up. But he kept his faith in me and kept me going, and I would never of gotten the pass without him. He always reassured me and put my mind at ease, aswell as teaching me really well and encouraging me to carry on. I am so thankful that he was my driving instructor!
Thank you for a great review. We are so pleased that you passed with Flying Colours

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Chris from the bottom of my heart. You have been a great tutor to learn from, your teaching skills and calmness definitely helped me so much with my nerves. I went from being a nervous driver to now someone who looks forward to driving and I actually enjoys it! You were the third instructor I changed to and I'm so glad I did. Only regret would be not have started with you in the first place. Would highly recommend Flying Colours! I passed with 1 minor fault today! Over the moon. Thank you, Shara
Thanks Shara. Well done for passing with only 1 minor!
Fantastic experience: I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris for helping me pass today. It has been along journey I couldn't have done it without him.

Hope to see you on the roads soon.1
Thank you Kev for a great review. So pleased you enjoyed your lessons, we are so pleased you passed your test!
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience learning to drive with Flying Colours. Chris is exactly what you want in a driving instructor - calm, patient, professional and clear. I went from being so nervous to start driving to actually enjoying lessons. I learned so much, the lessons were really well structured and advanced at exactly the right pace. I can't thank Chris enough for all his help - because of him, I passed first time!
Thanks Suzi. Well done for passing first time!
Fantastic experience: I can not thank Chris enough for teaching me how to drive . I was really nervous and I remember telling him I tried before and I was not a good driver. He is so professional and from the beginning he reassured me he would do his best to change this... and he did... I passed first time and I am so happy . Amazing professionals!!!
Thanks Patricia for such a glowing review. We are so glad that you ‘passed with Flying Colours’
Fantastic experience: Having a less than favourable experience with learning to drive previously, at first I was apprehensive. My instructor Chris was immediately accommodating to my nerves and quickly put me at ease. Even through two lockdowns, lessons were always informative and professional. I couldn't imagine a better experience from the first time behind the wheel to passing the test. The price was fair for the instruction and lessons were flexible around my schedule. I would absolutely recommend to anybody interested in driving.
Thanks Tom for a great review. We are so happy that we could help you and that you enjoyed your lessons.
Fantastic experience: I can’t rate this company enough. It was such a lovely learning experience from kind and professional people. Sophie and Chris, you were a big part of my success in the driving test, and I can’t thank you enough for what you taught me during this journey. The right people in the right place. I wish you all the success in return of the big value you’re giving to people’s lives. All the best, Salma
Hi Salma, Thanks so much for your great review. We are so happy that we could help you.
Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed! Couldn’t have done without C.Watts, during lockdown I had been learning with my husband and knew I wasn’t up to test standard, managed to book Chris in this very busy time and he got me ready to pass within 4 weeks! Would 100% recommend! Very friendly and makes you feel comfortable (I’m a very anxious driver!) but if you need silence also (I’m not great at multi tasking!) he’s great at assessing your needs and while driving. So happy I managed to book him , I’m 8.5 months pregnant also with 2 year old and needed to drive ASAP!
Thanks Hayley we are so pleased you passed and enjoyed your lessons.
Fantastic experience: Everything I could have wanted in an instructor. The car was set up above and beyond the average learner cars I have experienced.

Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Flying Colours, I wouldn’t have done it without the most amazing automatic driving instructor Chris! He was very kind, patient and made me feel confident about my driving. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone looking to start driving!

Thank you for your great review. We are so happy you passed first time.
Negative experience: Haven’t had any lessons with them. However, whilst cycling in the cycle lane heading to work this morning, one of the INSTRUCTORS decided to drive over a cross junction right in front of me. Hankering on the brakes wasn’t enough. I couldn’t stop in time. Thankfully she just kept crossing and with a swerve from me further into the road, we just missed each other. Flashing cycling lights and she still says she “didn’t see me”. Didn’t look more like! And she’s meant to be a professional. Surely that’s a test fail right there?
Fantastic experience: Best driving school ever come across. I had a bad experience trying to learn last year and gave up for a while. Found this school and the instructor was kind, paitent and made me feel so relaxed. Definitely highly recommended to anyone wanting to learn
