Fantastic experience: Just completed a 3 day C1 training course and test with Metcalfe’s driver training and passed 1st time. None of this would have been achievable without the knowledge and understanding that Andy gives to you throughout the whole course. Cannot credit Metcalfe’s highly enough and would recommend to anybody looking to improve their driving skills. See you in the near future for my class 1

Fantastic experience: I passed today, first time with no driver faults! Wouldn't have been able to without Andy, he is clearly highly trained and always made me feel comfortable. Andy taught me everything I needed to know and I felt fully confident going into the test. Thank you again ❤️

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, helped me pass first time with no minors for my C1 licence despite my doubts and anxieties. I was on a tight timeframe and he managed to get me to were I want to be, will always be grateful Andy

Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor. Andy’s teaching style is great; he is calm and patient and has a great sense of humour. The training is 2 x 4 hour sessions over two days and a hour or 2 before the test, so it was much better than a lot of courses that cram everything in in one day. Passed my C1 first time, thanks Andy!
