17 Plus Driving Tuition Ltd: Reviews
Negative experience: I have recently passed after switching from my 17+ instructor (Paul Harvey), I switched from him as he was very inconsistent in lessons, telling me I was making progress and then making me doing more basic lessons. He cancelled many lessons I had booked in with him, many of these were within hours or even 10 minutes of the lesson. I was also charged for a lesson I had cancelled as I was ill, despite the fact I game him many hours of notice but he has no consequences for cancelling within 30 minutes of a lesson. He had told me to book my test in July of 2024, and made me cancel it within a week of the test, he did this again in August which made me leave. I would not recommend this instructor, but he is not representative of the company as I’ve hear good things of other 17+ instructors.
Hi Tobi, Very sorry you had this experience with Paul, Paul is no longer an instructor with us, he has moved onto a different company. The experience you had is not one we condone as a company and is not reflective of our instructors. Congratulations on your pass, pleased you managed to get the result you wanted.
Fantastic experience: I’ve an amazing experience with Mr saud Kasim. His knowledge and teaching skills are excellent. Very supportive nature, friendly behaved which lead me pass my driving. Again thank u so much
Fantastic experience: Craig is an amazing instructor, very patient and understanding. I passed first time with 0 minors !! Very encouraging and friendly so super easy to build your confidence on the road. Would definitely recommend Craig at 17+
Fantastic experience: Simon is an absolutely brilliant instructor. As someone who couldn’t learn to drive for a while due to a serious crash, he’s been patient with me and helped me gain so much confidence. I’m now pleased to say that I no longer get anxious driving but actually enjoy it due to his help as an instructor. I could not recommended him more! Wish him all the best in the future.
Hi Arletta, thank you for your review and your kind words about Simon. We are really pleased that we have been able to help in your situation. We will pass on your comments to Simon. Thanks again and Happy New Year !
Positive experience: Would just like to say many thanks to conner passed my test first time today. He can be really strict on the lesson but I would not have wished it any other way because he really prepares you for the day.
HI Jason, thank you for your review as we really do appreciate all feedback. We will always instruct pupils on an individual basis depending on the required skills that need to be taught and we are delighted that you passed first time. Safe driving !
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I had Kenny as my driving instructor and right from the get go Kenny always had that understanding of how your feeling when driving and will immediately see what faults may pick you up when doing your driving test. Given kennys vast knowledge and expirence on driving made me reasured! He was adaptive In the way that he would mold his day around the clients times aswell . Kenny also new how to progress the driver and immediately what drills and practices needed to be used . The quality of the car was always top notch like all the +17 cars seen which only helps with the comfortableness of driving in itself . Highly recommended as mentioned couldn't of asked for a better instructor or company when learning how to drive!!! Thanks Kenny and +17 !!
Hi Callum, Thank you for your detailed review, we really do appreciate it and will pass on your comments to Kenny. We always try to understand how each pupil is feeling and then tailor our approach to each individual. This then hopefully makes it an enjoyable experience as and achieving the result that we all want.
Negative experience: I spent a few months learning with Gavin - didn't find him particularly helpful. I informed him early on that I was very nervous and had ADHD, he would often put the radio on very loud on talk shows which I found very distracting or very loud music. Also barely spoke a word to me and when he did it felt very passive aggressive, I tried to make friendly conversation a few times to ease the awkwardness but alas. Seemingly had no plan or structure to the lessons, very much acted as if he couldn't care less and spent a fair amount of my learning time on his phone - which is illegal? I felt uncomfortable asking him questions as his tone was often sarcastic and unfriendly. May be fine for some learners but as I was nervous, I hoped for a bit of a kinder, more patient approach to teaching I've heard from a few other people that Gavin isn't a great instructor and that it doesn't seem to come naturally to him to be understanding, patient or warm. Thankfully I now have a new instructor with an actual structured plan, although they were shocked by how little of the basics I knew after spending a sizeable chunk of money being 'taught' by Gavin - would not recommend at all.
Hi Kali, Thank you for sharing, we value all feedback whether it is positive or negative. We have never had any complaints or negative reviews of Gavin previously and as you will see all of our other reviews are very positive from our pupils about or instructors. We wish you good luck moving froward.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend 17 Plus. I had the pleasure of learning from Kenny eight years ago, and my sister recently passed her driving test with him as well. We both passed on our first attempts, thanks to Kenny's expertise and guidance. Kenny is professional, patient, and supportive. We want to express our gratitude to Kenny and acknowledge the exceptional reputation and experience of 17 Plus. Their long-standing presence in the industry reflects their professionalism and reliability. When it comes to driving instructors, experience truly matters and the outstanding results they consistently achieve speak for themselves.
Thank you very much for the review of your experience with Kenny and 17 Plus, we really appreciate the kind feedback and are really pleased that you and your sister have been happy with the tuition and results. We will pass on your comments to Kenny.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test today first time and ric from 17 plus in Wymondham was amazing all the way. He is very patient and a great guy. Could not have asked for someone better. Thanks again ric
Hi Jason, Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us. Congratulations to you on passing Jason and enjoy your driving.
Fantastic experience: My instructor Helen was amazing I couldn’t fault , very patient and very informative. Made m a really good driver by being critical what came in very good use for my test and passed first time ! Thank you very much !
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Helen and she was absolutely amazing. I've had a few driving instructors and she was by far the best. She made me feel at ease and I'm actually sad to not see her again! I passed today with 2 minors and I wouldn't of done it without her!
Congratulations Carrie-Ann on your pass and thank you for your kind review, we try to help all our pupils have an enjoyable time learning to drive. We will pass your comments onto Helen.
Fantastic experience: Helen was my driving instructor and although she was newer, she was absolutely amazing! We laughed and she made me feel comfortable from the beginning and was not afraid to correct my mistakes which made me a better driver not just a test taker. Would definitely recommend as I passed with only 3 minors and Helen had a massive part in that for smoothing out my driving and making me more aware. Thank you!!
Hi Serena, thank you for taking the time to review us and we are really happy that you had a good and enjoyable experience. Well done on passing and we will pass on your comments to Helen. Enjoy your driving !
Fantastic experience: Absolutely top quality company.

Fantastic experience: Done my B+E test with them. Everything from initial phone call has been a pleasure. Been a bit of a nightmare as I had my training before lockdown then my test got cancelled due to Covid-19. My test was 4 months later, they kept me updated and got me booked on a test as soon as they were given the go ahead. couldn't recommend them enough.
CONGRATULATIONS ED on passing your B+E Trailer Test. It has been a bit stressful but we got there! Thank you for your recommendations and the comments. Stay safe!

Congratulations on passing your test and thank you for your feedback. Drive safely!
Negative experience: I asked 17 Plus if they covered Acle for driving lessons, they said they did. When it finally came time to book the lessons they said I'd have to get into Norwich to actually have lessons, which is impossible for me at the moment. They wasted my time for literally no reason, Would not recommend if you don't live in Norwich and can't get there on a semi-regular basis.
James, we advised you that we could pick up in Acle, but asked if you had considered meeting an instructor in Norwich - eg. the bus station - as you would save money by doing so simply because you won’t be using your lesson time driving back and forth between Acle and Norwich (20 mins each way). We feel your comments are unfair. We didn't waste your time, we simply answered your email in an honest way.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Ash for lessons. Very thorough, calm and supportive. Makes the lessons very enjoyable and comfortable
Congratulations Emily ........ a well deserved first time pass! Enjoy driving and stay safe.
Fantastic experience: It was an absolutely wonderful experience! I am glad that I chose 17+ for the exam, and I gained invaluable experience from a professional! A big thanks to my trainer - instructor Ashley agreed and took the time for my lessons,who was patient with me, explained every detail. I would recommend for all novice drivers, 17+ is not only a team of professionals who can teach you how to drive safely in a short time, but they are just nice people with whom it is pleasant to talk in the future! I would recommend Ashley as the best driver-coach, thank him for the work done! Kind Regards Anton Iavorskyi
Congratulations on passing your test this morning Anton. You worked hard and achieved a lot in a short time. Thank you for taking the time to review 17 Plus and the coaching you received from Ashley. Stay safe!
Fantastic experience: The driving instructor was very clear and broke things down to help me understand better. I recommend using 17 plus for anyone wanting to learn to drive. Fantastic driving instructor!
Congratulations, Matthew, on passing your test. An exceptional pass with no driving faults............well done !! So pleased we could help you achieve this result. Stay safe

Fantastic experience: Passed 1st time today with 2 minors! Many thanks to Ashley for teaching me, and helping me to do it in just 30 hours! Would 100% 17 Plus to anyone who wants to start driving. I'm going to miss my weekly lessons! Ash is an amazing instructor, really friendly nature and can have a chat about anything when driving! Would thoroughly recommend him if you choose 17 Plus, can't fault him at all :) - Saskia Lister
Congratulations Saskia - excellent result today!! Your hard work paid off. Thank you for your comments.........we're pleased you enjoyed your lessons. Drive safely!
Negative experience: was overtaken near the NDR just outside Norwich about a week ago by a car saying on the side "17+.co.uk driving instructions." The driver was driving absolutely recklessly. Surely that was not one of the instructors?
Fantastic experience: Ashley is a fantastic driving instructor. I credit his friendly, positive, and caring nature along with his excellent teaching skills for helping me to become the confident driver I am today. Ash made me feel at ease straight away on my first lesson. During all my lessons with Ash I felt very supported and comfortable being able to share any concerns I was having. At the beginning of every lesson Ash would ask me if there was anything I was unsure about (e.g. manoeuvres, roundabouts, dual carriageway etc.) so that we could practice and build up my confidence. I always looked forward to my lessons with Ash and highly recommend him and 17+ they cannot be faulted. Special thanks to Ash for your amazing work!
Fantastic experience: Ashley is a amazing instructor he make me feel at ease and really cares about you and your driveing he made sure I didn't give up and soon enough I did it I passed with 2 minors over the moon and I couldn't thank him enough!!!! I highly recommend him each lesson I come away with my cheeks hurting as he just makes me laugh !!! Thankyou so much again Ash !
Fantastic experience: I would sincerely thank my instructor Ashley Kew from 17+. I was with him for a very long time, he is literally the best instructor anyone can ask for. he will turn you into the perfect driver making sure you always bring your 'A' game every time you drive. driving with him taught me a lot of things, if i had any problems with my driving i would literally be on top of it straight away within 10 minutes because Ash teaches you the right way to do things. I can't emphasis enough, if you do join 17 + please take Ash on as your instructor and see for yourself... you will ace that practical! Ash thank you for being the perfect instructor and a good friend. Jake
Fantastic experience: Would strongly recommend Vladimir, as an instructor, he’s a real professional.
Congratulations, Eva, on passing your driving test! Glad to have helped you achieve your result. Drive safely.
Fantastic experience: A great tuition service- I cannot fault my instructor Ashley, who created a calm, supportive environment, with his friendly and reassuring nature- my confidence flourished! I loved my lessons and so pleased I got recommended 17+. Thank you ash, you're amazing at what you do!
Congratulations, Chloe - first time pass and with no driving faults!! Excellent result! Thank you for your feedback - we're glad you enjoyed your time with Ashley & 17 Plus. Drive safely!
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Ashley enough. Passed my test earlier today. Ashley kept me interested and pushed me when I needed it, I always felt at ease when I was driving which helped me so much. If you would like to learn how to drive confidently (not just learn how to past the test) then I would definitely go with 17Plus. Thank you ash
Congratulations Beth on passing today and thank you for your comments. Drive safely!!
Fantastic experience: I highly suggest 17+ my instructor was Ashley and he helped me pass first time and gave me the confidence before the test so I recommend them
Congratulations on your "first time pass" - we are very pleased to have helped you and wish you safe driving!
Fantastic experience: Had a terrible experience with one week driving got told I was ready for my test when I wasn't & failed. Then Ash fit me in at such short notice helped me so much, he made me so confident in what I was doing & went through my manoeuvres over & over again until I was confident in doing them, best instructor ever, I'd recommend him to anyone! Passed my test because of him with just two minors & probably wouldn't of been able to if it wasn't for ash :)
Congratulations on passing today, Becca. We're glad Ashley could help you through. Stay safe!
Fantastic experience: Recommend 17+ to anyone, I passed first time with no minors! Thank you Ashley
Congratulations Alice...........you showed commitment and worked hard. Well done!
Fantastic experience: Ashley from 17 plus has been my instructor. he is very flexible with lessons and they are very well structured, he is very friendly and honest when learning to drive, he is a real credit to the team. The lessons are value for money and I would reccomend him to anyone who wants to learn to drive.
Thank you for your comments, Susan. We appreciate the feedback. Safe driving!
Fantastic experience: Passed my test after being taught by Ashley, an amazing driving instructor who helped me to become a confident driver and get over my worries! He helped me overcome my fear of the dual carriage way and gave me lots of helpful tips! Ended up passing my test with just 1 minor!! I would and already have recommended him to anyone looking for a driving instructor. Really nice man, friendly and approachable. Allows you to learn from your mistakes but pushes you to achieve your best. The company itself are very organised especially with the new books they have and they assess you each step of the way so it's clear for both you and your instructor what your strengths and weaknesses are! Once again, thanks so much Ashley for helping me pass my test! Look forward to seeing you on the road!
Huge congratulations on passing your test Andrie and thank you for your comments. We are glad you enjoyed your lessons with Ashley and hope you carry on developing your driving skills. Stay safe!
Negative experience: DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. 1 INSTRUCTOR IN A DARK GREY PEUGEOT ON BUXTON ROAD NEAR FRETTENHAM (@ 11:45AM SUNDAY 17TH JUNE) NEARLY HIT 2 CYCLISTS THEN SWERVED VIOLENTLY INFRONT OF THEM ALMOST HITTING THE VERGE. DO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE WANT TO BE TAUGHT BY THESE PEOPLE
Thank you, Nathan, for bringing this incident to our attention. Upon investigation it was apparent that the cyclists were not paying enough attention to the road; hence one cyclist suddenly veered out causing the instructor to swerve to avoid hitting them. A lesson to us all – stay focused and be aware of all road users at all times!
Negative experience: * NOT EVEN WORTHY OF 1 STAR * Disgusted by the lack of professionalism from this company as one of their employees tailgated me on the Cromer Road as I slowed down for a red light. He was cursing and gesturing with 2 fingers. This is extremely intimidating for a young female driver like myself with a passenger who was merely abiding by the law. Registration began N40. Would you want someone like this teaching you to drive?
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor I have . Thanks Vladimir P.
Fantastic experience: I took lessons with Vladamir and passed the first time, he is very good and calm. He is friendly perfect for learners.
Congratulations on passing your test Rita. We are pleased you enjoyed your driving lessons with Vladimir and your experience with 17 Plus. Drive safely!
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say thank you to Ashley who taught me the skills that enabled me to pass my practicak test first time. Your invaluable experience helped me feel at ease and confident when achieving this. Look no further for a great instructor. Once again thank you so much Ash.
Fantastic experience: i passed first time with Ash as my tutor, cant recommend him or 17+ enough! absolutely outstanding!
Fantastic experience: All i can say is i passed both tests in 27 HOURS with 4 faults. Ashley Kew in Norwich is the one teach you. Nice chap, makes you hit your fears head on, with compliments on skills as go on. 27 hours.
Congratulations Damon. Thank you for your comments............pleased you enjoyed the course and got on well with your instructor. Stay safe!
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Malcolm, he was very patient but also honest which really helped me achieve my goal of learning and passing over my summer holidays. Very professional but also friendly and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. Thank you!
