CFN Driver Training Solutions

Fantastic experience: Craig didn’t teach me how to pass a test, he taught me how to drive. Craig is incredibly patient and thorough in his teachings. Manoeuvres and techniques I once found difficult to understand, he broke down for me and made learning much simpler and enjoyable. His 20 years+ experience and knowledge is certainly worth your time, you will have no issues learning with Craig. I have a lot to thank Craig for, I have independence and most importantly, I can support my partner and young family from getting from A to B and beyond. Craig is simply the best, I would not recommend anyone else!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Craig enough. Fountain of knowledge and explains everything really well. Always has time for you, either on the phone, zoom call or in-car tuition.

Fantastic experience: CFN Driver Training Solutions Hi, I came across Craig of CFN Driver Training Solutions on looking how to expand my PDI knowledge. As a retired cop and used to dealing with the Road craft etc we appeared to speak the same language. No nonsense approach and just get straight to what you are trying to do. I wanted to improve on Client centred learning . First attempt at part 3 and got 29.l really needed something extra! Roll on 4 hrs spent with Craig. My needs where quickly established. I just do not dig deep enough on the questions I ask my pupils and Craig gave me the insight as to how to improve on this area with the help of role play and question/ answer situations. I came away with a completely different mind set and really understood why I didn't pass and a clear direction of what I needed to do to make the improvement. I would highly recommend Craig and felt that his input, approach, knowledge and professionalism was tailored to exactly what was missing to help me make a better instructor and pass the next Part 3.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to AnnLouise! You have helped me so much with my driving, allowing me to pass. You are an amazing instructor and will try many different ways to explain and help me when I need it. AnneLouise is great at being patient and amazing at bringing your confidence out, even when you don’t believe in yourself. She also makes sure you have mock tests with a range of people to help you bring your confidence up. You are fantastic and I couldn’t recommend you anymore. Thank you so much, Amanda

Fantastic experience: I Completed the Blue Light Incident Response Course with Craig as part of an ongoing MOD contract for personnel in support of EOD operations. An excellent course and even better instruction, Craig’s knowledge and instruction was second to none.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Craig for anyone need Instructor training for Adi part 2,3 and SC . His knowledge, skills and experience are at top level. He has helped me to understand how to deliver a client centre lesson. Overall CFN colleagues are there to support you throughout the process to become a fully qualified driving instructor. I really appreciate @Craig for your help and support to become successful. Moreover, his videos and live zoom sessions are very beneficial and informative. He was so generous with his time each session I took. Genuinely he would be there to help you to achieve your goals and success.

Fantastic experience: Abdul is a great instructor, I had issues with my maneuvers. Abdul gave me the time I need with patience, I was able to pass my test due to him.

Fantastic experience: Good driving instructor that taught me everything. I was struggling with drivers within other companies but Abdul taught me well.

Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend learning here, especially my instructor AnnLouise. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entirety of my driving lessons. AnnLouise’s calm and reassuring teaching style made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel, even in challenging situations. Thanks to her clear instructions and helpful tips, I passed my test on the first attempt!

Fantastic experience: I started driving lessons with Abdul in January. From the get go, he was excellent. He remained calmed which put me at ease every lesson - taking me on tests routes and more challenging routes to build my confidence. This summer I passed my driving test. A massive thank you to Abdul - I would highly recommend, especially if you’re a more anxious driver!

Fantastic experience: The brother Abdul truly is the best teacher I’ve ever had, he made me pass the first time learning with him, truly worth the money and they truly care about you. Recommend for anyone.

Fantastic experience: Exactly driving instructor, his knowledge and skills is astounding... he's such an easy guy to get along with too.

Fantastic experience: GEMMA I first started with Ann Louise last October, I knew nothing about cars, driving or the roads, she put me at ease straight away, no rushing into it, just took it at my own pace. I never in a million years thought I’d pass my test the first time, it’s all because she had patience and the time too teach me, I’d highly recommend her to my friends and family and I’m sure it won’t be the last time I’ll be asking for her help/advice! Thanks for the laughs, cries and patience over these months! See you on the road ;)

Fantastic experience: Craig "An outstanding instructor who made the Response course a great experience! Craig expertise, patience, and clear communication made learning efficient and enjoyable. I highly recommend this instructor for anyone looking to enhance their skills. Thank you for a fantastic learning experience!"

Fantastic experience: Having just completed a 2 week course with Craig I can’t recommend him enough. Craig’s teaching style and years of experience enabled me to remove bad habits and learn new skills that have made me a safer and more confident driver. The two week course was progressive but at a manageable pace where I was able to put into practice these new skills and I felt like I was consistently making progress each day. Thanks again Craig for your help it is much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Craig was our instructor for a 2 day Mountain Rescue response driving refresher. He has a lot of experience training many emergency service drivers. His experience and knowledge quickly picked up on areas for improvement. He gave clear guidance, explanation and envy to allow us to develop. He has a relaxed easy manner which assists in easing nerves and focusing on learning. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Very good driving instructor, I started being scared to drive in busy towns but within a few weeks I overcame that thanks to the help of Kane. He was very supporting and not intimidating at all which helped me progress. Anything I wasn’t sure on he was more than happy to talk me through, show me and guide me on how to perfect certain things. I wouldn’t have been able to pass if it wasn’t for him.

Fantastic experience: From day one Marcia took her time with me and made sure to explain how everything that comes with driving works - sometimes a lot of explaining . I’ve always felt comfortable and safe in the car when driving with her and felt able to push myself to try new things with her guidance. I couldn’t thank Marcia enough with the amount of progress I’ve made with her help these past few months and I’d strongly recommend her to any new learner looking for an instructor .

Fantastic experience: Finally passed my part 3 yesterday with Craig's help. He's so motivated in what he does and easy to get along with. Makes everything easy to understand and goes out of his way to help. Honestly been so supportive and there thru the many lows......and yesterday the high. Highly recommend. Thanks for everything Craig

Fantastic experience: I really could not recommend Annlouise enough, it is obvious she is so dedicated to her job, even going out of her way to send helpful tips and things to work on in between lessons, and she made me feel so comfortable every lesson I had with her I’m genuinely going to miss my weekly lessons! I passed today with only 2 minors and have never been happier! Thank you for everything! Xx

Fantastic experience: Thank you to CFN and my instructor Abdul. Passed today with 0 minors

Fantastic experience: Kane Delamont is a one of a kind instructor and an amazing human being who is patient, believes in you always and never gives up on you. Having had previous instructors that haven’t challenged me enough and didn’t give me the confidence in my skills I can honestly say that Kane is the one! Already booked my son with Kane for next year as soon as he can start learning. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I was looking for some extra help and advice as my part 3 is in the coming months. I had been following Craig on facebook and liked his posts and attitude towards training and teaching . I reached out to him and I wasn’t disappointed. Craig called me on Saturday night and nothing was a bother to him . We had a good chat and he made me feel at ease with his experience and listened to my concerns. He then offered some great advice and I’m now in the process of putting them into practice plus I’ve taken the massive step and started recording my lessons. Outstanding mate thanks so much , I really appreciate it .

Fantastic experience: Craig is a great instructor - super calm, friendly, knowledgeable and reliable. I started out an extremely anxious driver (especially with roundabouts and motorways) and am now confidently navigating them everyday when i never thought this would be possible! This has completely changed my experience of driving and made life a whole lot easier! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Lou had me feeling really confident in my driving, being very patient with me and really made me feel like I could do it! Smashed my driving test with only 4 faults all thanks to lou !

Fantastic experience: I qualified as a driving instructor today after passing my 1st attempt at the part 3 exam. I have completed all of my part 3 training with Craig and can honestly say I would not have got to this milestone without him. Craig has a clear passion for road safety and his enthusiasm for the subject has made me aim to be the best I can for my pupils, and to improve my own driving aswell. Craig is very generous with his time and has been flexible around my childcare arrangements .. always patient and professional whilst challenging me to improve over and over again. He has consistently given me supervision and feedback to help me improve, and has always been at the end of the phone for questions and support. Craig's standards and expectations are high, and he has a vast amount of experience that he is more than willing to share with his trainees. This has been the best start to my career and I am very proud to be supported by Craig and all of the other trainees at CFN driver training solutions. Thanks again for everything !!!

Fantastic experience: Driving classes with Kane was really enjoyable & he had a lot of patience Well done kane Thank you

Fantastic experience: Iain is an excellent instructor. He’s very patient and, despite my having a lot of anxiety around driving, I felt incredibly confident learning with him. I suffered with nerves when taking tests due to having ADHD, which made following instructions under pressure with each new examiner a struggle for me. Iain was always understanding about this and became really invested in finding strategies to help me overcome my anxiety, helping me believe I could pass. He also supported me with organising and postponing my tests by predicting if I would be ready to test. This even included swapping tests with his other pupils on two occasions when my progress was delayed, due to some trips I had to take unexpectedly. Iain has great expertise, is invested in his pupils and is above all patient. Plus, he gives great restaurant recommendations.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my driving experience with Kane, who has been very patient and calm and prepared me very well for my test. Would highly recommend for anyone starting to drive!

Fantastic experience: couldn’t have asked for a better instructor than kane. right from start was so easy going, comfortable and kind. not only that but was so flexible and eager to find me in whenever i was home from uni. so happy to have been able to have as an instructor and would recommend to absolutely everyone! thank you kane

Fantastic experience: Craig instructed me through my CERAD course and was a brilliant instructor. His teaching methods made me go from being apprehensive about the course on the first day, to feeling confident at the end of week three when going into my final assessment. Really great. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: Craig was our instructor on a Bluelight training! What an amazing instructor he is! Not only he made sure that we are more than ready and capable for our final exam, but also ready for the future with our responding career. 3 week course felt like a breeze and I would recommend Craig as an instructor any day. Hardly anyone would be able to match his years of experience and coaching skills!

Fantastic experience: Great instructors. Really knowledgeable about driving and provided a open learning environment which invited questions and easily helped iron out mistakes

Fantastic experience: I found CFN school of motoring after already attempting my test with another driving school and had very nearly given up on driving. Craig took me right back to basics. He unpicked all of the issues I was having, majority that had went unnoticed by both myself and my previous instructor. Craig has taught me how to drive, not how to pass a test. He has been incredibly patient, understanding and continually adapted his teaching to take me from an anxious driver to a confident one. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Iain was my instructor and was great and really helped me to be able to to pass my driving test I went from being nervous stepping into the car then being confident for my test

I’m now a confident driver and I am super grateful for him.

Fantastic experience: Iain is an amazing instructor who took me from a nervous driver who struggled with the basics to a fully confident first time passer.

Fantastic experience: Craig coached me on emergency response driving. He is a highly experienced instructor who is motivated to get the best out of his students. Craig tailors his sessions to meet your individual requirements and draws on his years of experience of police driver training to give you a much deeper understanding.

Fantastic experience: I joined CFN after having a break from driving so I wasn't very confident for my first couple of lessons but Craig got me through them by keeping everything simple and showed me how to be a safe and efficient driver he also made every lesson a wonderful time even if I wasn't performing at my best of my abilities and never made me feel intimidated or upset.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for making me into the most calm, confident driver I could have been on my test day. So happy to have passed first time with no minors! Craig is so passionate about excellent, safe driving. He’s honest, direct, knowledgable and an excellent teacher. I’ve really appreciated everything I’ve been taught, especially as it definitely didn’t come naturally to me! I also really loved the network of other instructors I met and learned from during my time with Craig- especially Phil and Mike. Phil gave me lessons while Craig was working away to make sure I didn’t fall behind and this was invaluable. Mike gave me the last push of confidence I needed in my final lesson before my test- he was so kind and encouraging. Thank you thank you thank you!

Fantastic experience: Akira started her driving journey with an instructor who was awful. She had experienced panic attacks whilst behind the wheel due to his lack of understanding what she needed. We discovered Craig who agreed to take on the bundle of anxiousness that was Akira behind the wheel. His warm approach and ability to find her level bought her on quickly. Today she passed first time with NO MINORS. From a girl who was so distressed before lessons to becoming an accomplished and safe driver is amazing. Can't thank Craig enough; absolutely buzzing!!

Fantastic experience: Craig is a very good teacher and very experienced and also a very calm presence in the car while giving instruction.

Fantastic experience: Craig was very helpful and his patience was unmeasurable. Top bloke and would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Had a really successful driving assessment / lesson with Craig yesterday through my employer. After having a 5 year break from driving Craig made me feel really comfortable and confident driving and taught me things I can take forward in the future, these things will make a considerable difference to both safety and ease. Craigs style is to teach to be a safe driver for life, not just for the driving test, something where my previous instructors have failed. This engaging teaching style made the 3 hours pass very quickly and means I will remember and use everything I was taught. Thanks Craig!!

Fantastic experience: Craig recently was my instructor on an advanced driving course and helped me pass with ease. It was made simplistic and comfortable throughout the course which allowed me to put my full attention into the course in hand and the advice given.

I have no doubt that if I require any further driving courses in the future that I will be returning to him. Thanks Craig!

Fantastic experience: Craig is a brilliant instructor, always found a way to help you understand any questions you may have and guide you through to your own understanding of the importance of how to do any of your manovers, helped me gain alot of confidence when it came to dealing with new interactions and understanding how to notice any fault you make and how to correct it the next time

Fantastic experience: I would strongly recommend Craig for driving tuition. He has been precise, clear, supportive, positive and encouraging without skirting around aspects that need correction and improvement either. He offers very practical tips to help confidence in manouvering, car set up and road position. He's been flexible and accommodating but not pushy to suggest lessons when unneccessary nor has he been unavailable when needed. He has promoted learning to become a safe and confident driver at all times, not just teaching skills to pass a test. Craig has made this a very positive experience for my daughter, who passed today :0)

Craig understood this and tailored his teaching to my skill level, and was thoroughly patient and professional as I progressed.

He has a brilliant knowledge of the North West of England and every question is always answered with the theory and practical underpinning. It was a pleasure to spend time learning to drive with Craig and it’s shame you only learn once! I have 3 girls now and will be looking to Craig to teach them when the time comes, the fact he will travel to my area to teach shows his flexibility and forward thinking. You won’t regret choosing Craig as your teacher for you or your children.
