Fantastic experience: Can’t begin to recommend Will enough! Brilliant driving instructor who has the patience of a saint. Calm, professional and reassuring. Brilliant at assessing and breaking down situations so you can understand them as well as helping and guiding you through them. Took me from nervous and anxious to being able to control my nerves and stay calm. Also very humorous and friendly too. A top instructor to have!

Fantastic experience: Passed my test (First time @Worcester) with 3 minors last week after learning 30 hours from William. He is very patient, encouraging and professional. The knowledge delivered by him in the classes was very practical and helpful for both the test and my daily driving. He was always on time for the teaching and doing the classes efficiently. I did learn a lot and enjoy every hour of driving under his supervision. Passing the test in the first try is the proof. Many thanks to William. Strongly recommend him if you want to learn driving and pass the test with NO time/money wasted!!!

Fantastic experience: William is a great driving instructor who got me through with a first time pass. I am a fairly anxious individual. However, he makes you feel extremely comfortable with other drivers on the road and is very patient. I could not recommend this school and William enough.

Felicity Mason 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: After a negative experience with a previous driving instructor I contacted Will who had taught my older brother who passed first time. The past year learning to drive through Covid hasn’t been easy but Will has always shown me nothing but patience and complete focus on my driving and where I could improve. He built my confidence which was something I was struggling with and today I passed my test with only 3 minors! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Golden Driving School and will be recommending to people I know. Thank you Will!

Fantastic experience: Previously I was with another instructor and I struggled to learn with him then I switched to golden driving school and was trained up by one off the best William Bick he is a great instructor he never gave up on me he communicated in a way that my previous instructor didn’t he broke it down for me very well and gave me a good understanding on how the road works, it’s been a tough previous year due too Covid but when I eventually had my test I got through first time definitely would recommend

Mark Hough 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: If It wasn't for steve I would not have passed my test. I have had many lessons and tests with different driving instructors and have never felt so comfortable and confident. Steve helped me overcome my nerves showed me driving skills I have never learnt before. I didn't drive a car for over 7 years and took a one week intensive course with steve and passed in a week with only 2 minors.

Ian West 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have to thank steve as I was let down by another school two weeks before my test date. Having failed at the first attempt I was feeling very let down and feeling low on confidence and thinking I was gonna fail. At short notice Steve managed to fit me in a two hour lesson a week before my test. He made was very good giving me some great advice and gave me the confidence I needed to pass by test. The day of my test I was nervous but steve talked me through things and I got the result I wanted and passed with one minor fault. Totally recommended steve hes very good and will help you pass your test 10/10

Fantastic experience: Steve is a top guy and great at teaching. I much preferred learning with him than my sessions with a national school.

Gemma Carter 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing, made me feel so comfortable with driving. I had a lesson from different company and they made me feel scared to even get in a car. Wasted my time and money and shouted at me. Went to golden and he made me feel so much more confident in my driving, and I passed 1st time with 3 minors. Couldn't have been happier with the service I received and have recommended them to many many people

harmeet doal 6 years ago

Negative experience: Spent 7 lessons going around the same estate, hitting 3rd gear once. Cancelled 6 lessons in 2 weeks after promising to take me out to drive. Instructor refused to give me a double lesson. Absolutely shocking considering they aren't cheap. I decided to go to bill plant and in my first lesson I was doing roundabouts. I passed first time within 25 lessons, with this driving school I would have taken atleast double.

Fantastic experience: I failed my first driving test but then I was recommended steve by a friend and past first time with him! Couldnt recommend him enough! Made me feel very comfortable! The whole experience was very very relaxed! Made driving feel so much easier than I previously thought! If you suffer from anxiety then steve is your man!

L Cc 8 years ago

Negative experience: Andy has been milking me out of money for nearly 9 months! First test had to be cancelled as someone crashed into his car, third driving test his brakes failed on my test! He ought to be giving me a refund! No tests available till November so I've gone elsewhere on an intensive course. Also talks half way through the lesson to waste your money and this talking does not helping when it comes to independent driving on the actual test! I feel like he does this on purpose to get more lessons out of you.

Andy has worked for us for several years, and never once had a bad review, his website is testament to that. You stated his brakes failed on the test, if that was the case how could he have driven you home in the car at the end? If you are not happy feel free to contact me on 07886766645 and I will be happy to discuss further.

Paige Holloway 9 years ago

Positive experience: Steve is great and lovely , just what you want in an instructor but I wanted to learn automatic so he passed me on to one of his team and they made me feel very uncomfortable - I have anxiety and he kept huffing and puffing when I did things wrong and was very assy and when I tried to explain why I did what I did - not argue with him , he went off on a rant and said "you know what I don't feel like teaching you anymore" which made me feel u comfortable and near tears for the rest of the lesson , he tried to re book me in at the end so I had to As I just wanted to get out the car but I won't be going back to them. I gave 3 stars because Steve is great

Mrchnry 10 years ago
