Fantastic experience: A patient and friendly driving instructor that ensures you're most prepared, with great availability to give constructive advice that helps you grow to become a better, and especially safer driver. My advice to future learner drivers, make sure you are patient with yourself to know when you're ready to try the real exam. The driving instructor should be able to tell you when you're ready for the real thing.

Fantastic experience: Driving hasn’t come naturally to me but Ashan’s been so patient, meticulous and encouraging. He was always on time (and let me know long in advance if he wouldn’t be), he was always friendly, and always consistent. He’s calm and will repeat things as many times as you need. Thanks to him I passed my second time. I would thoroughly recommend him, especially if you feel you might be a nervous driver. He puts you at ease every time, and makes everything seem simple.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Ahsaan. From day one, he was patient, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable.

Ahsaan tailored each lesson to my specific needs, ensuring that I was comfortable and confident behind the wheel. He was always punctual and flexible with scheduling, which made fitting lessons around my busy life so much easier. I passed my driving test on the first attempt, and I can genuinely say it's thanks to Ahsan's excellent instruction and support. I highly recommend Ahsan to anyone looking to learn to drive. His expertise and friendly approach make him the best driving instructor around!

Fantastic experience: Ahsaan is an excellent instructor. He is patient, cautious, rigorous, punctual, and regular. He gave me good tips throughout, especially for maneuvers and accommodated my requests for practising my weak points repeatedly. He also gives examples of other tests he has witnessed and prepares you well mentally. He also did quite a few mock tests for me. He assessed my skills well and recommended that I needed fewer hours than I thought I needed and he was right. His car is also great- the clutch control in it is amazing! I would totally recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Anwar is an amazing driving instructor, so calm and patient he helped me build up my confidence and really helped me push on to pass my test.

Negative experience: Do not use this driving school people. You will have an unprofessional driver that only wants money from you when you do not owe money and refuse to give DVLA information they will not come out till they feed off me for money when I do not owe them nothing and will say that I do . I am not having this will be also contacting DVLA and now treating behaviour from the driver called Ahsan and texts of treating behaviour

Negative experience: Had one lesson here and the car was absolutely filthy inside, looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. The instructor was clear but kept spitting when he talked which was off putting and unhygienic. He also arrived half an hour late but was quite happy to take the full amount of my money before the lesson had even started. Also asked me to drive onto main roads as my first BEGINNER LESSON which is not only dangerous but completely unprofessional.

Fantastic experience: Really great instructor! When I started with Ashan, I was a very anxious driver and then first test I took with Ashan I passed. Would really recommend using 1st Pass Driving School :)

Fantastic experience: An excellent experience - Ahsan was always punctual with start times of lessons and always felt safe on every journey. Clear instructions and guidance were always given and it all resulted in successfully passing my test.

Fantastic experience: Really calm approach to driving. Good for nervous drivers and confidence boosting

Fantastic experience: As for displaying warning signs on the rear windscreen to the left and right does not impede view on this model ,and is actually warning drivers who do not possess driving abilities to stay back whilst a learner driver is learning to drive ..remember if you can read the sign then you are too close . Stay back..we were all learner drivers at some point..(highway code).

Negative experience: Was behind a blue Ford focus 1st pass car today, really surprised to find it had 3 different signs in the back window on 3 corners telling people to not tailgate etc. The message may be valid although pointless as you need to be pretty close to read them but a learner driver needs to be able to see out of the rear window when needed so surprised as seemed extremely unprofessional to impede their rear vision in anyway. Get stickers on the body work if needed but they seem pretty silly.

Fantastic experience: The car he uses is very convenient and easy to handle for new drivers. I passed the test second time, could have passed the first time too but failed due to a silly fault of my own. I will do pass plus within when i get a car.

Fantastic experience: Ahsan helped me to develop and sharpen my driving skills in quick time. I feel more confident about my upcoming driving test. I would definitely recommend Ahsan to new drivers.
