Fantastic experience: Alistair is brilliant and can't recommend him enough. He taught my daughter and she passed first time. She absolutely loved every one of his lessons and said he soon calmed her nerves and made her feel relaxed and confident. We will definitely be recommending him to everyone

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend him enough, helped me pick up driving again after taking a break - i stopped at 17 and started again at 21. Helped me with all the manoeuvres and things that i struggled on one lesson, we picked up again on the next. Kept me up to date with any changes to lessons or any mock tests in preparation for the real thing - and we did so many possible test routes it made me ready for whatever popped up on the day. I passed today with only a few minors and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Alistair!

He's a really friendly and patient instructor, always willing to provide helpful tips and eases you into learning at your pace with no pressure. Communication was always top notch with our lessons scheduled via an easy-to-use app. Any changes to schedule (only once or twice) were communicated well ahead of time and always met with a suggested time for another lesson. He was also very flexible towards the week of my test, changing lessons to daytime driving to reflect the conditions of the test. I passed first time with him :)

Fantastic experience: Alistair is a great instructor. Really professional and easy to get along with. I felt Alistair's teaching technique built my confidence on the road and guided me through difficult situations really well. If I made a mistake, Alistair was never judgemental or angry - we'd just talk calmly about what went wrong and practiced those situations again. I'd recommend any of my friends to Alistair with confidence.

Fantastic experience: All I can say is what a Guy and What a teacher. So patient and all round top bloke. Cheers Alistair for everything

Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor you could ask for, really recommend !

Fantastic experience: Had been doing my lessons for a while with Alistair due to lockdown etc. But would always squeeze me in in when I asked for lessons last minute or forgot to tell him about my rotas. Felt very comfortable on lessons with him and always understood what he was telling me or asking me to do. Driving genuinely felt easy when in the car with him, best instructor ever! :)

Fantastic experience: Alistair is an excellent teacher. He is very supportive and patient and helped me on my route to passing 1st time. I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn to drive to give Alistair a call, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Alistair is the best , recommended 100% such a nice guy and can have a laugh with him too Thanks so much Al

Fantastic experience: Alistair helped me finally pass my driving test, coming to driving quite late. With COVID hitting as we were approaching test-readiness, we had to pause lessons. Once things started to open up again, he was always able to fit me in and find time to continue my training. I really liked Alistairs teaching style, letting me discover my own errors and giving me guidance to fill gaps in my knowledge. Lessons never felt rushed or stressful, and always with some take aways to consider for next time.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! Can not recommend him enough. Really understanding and patient. Brilliant at keeping me calm running up to test day! Thanks again mate!

Fantastic experience: I moved to the UK couple years ago and needed to obtain a driver license. At first, I thought that given my large experience on the road I would only need couple of lessons to get used to left-hand traffic. But in quickly became apparent that my internal autopilot trained in a different road network is constantly and dangerously failing me in the UK. I must say huge thanks to Alistair, who helped me readjust and overcome my old driving habits. His friendly and thoughtful analysis and advice was also backed up by an ocean of patience and constant support. In the end I was able to pass the test on my first attempt despite multiple tricky situations encountered during the test. I highly recommend Alistair to anyone looking for a driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Alistair is The best Instructor I know. I had lessons before with 2 different Instructors and they were not as good as Alistair. Alistair explains everything very well, always on time. He makes sure you are ready for your test. Highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: An outstanding company that I would highly recommend to everyone. Every lesson I had was excellent, which allowed me to pass my theory and practical test first time with Alistair! Very good value for money! Thank you! :)

Fantastic experience: Great instructor!

Fantastic experience: My son has just passed his test first time, thanks to Alistair! He started lessons before the lockdown, and even through all the COVID disruption, Alistair ensured he was completely ready for his test. Alistair was calm and patient, and helped put our son at ease. His teaching methods are great, and he took time to explain things fully, making sure our son developed the skills to become a competent and confident driver. I would definitely recommend Alistair to anyone wanting to learn to drive!

Fantastic experience: After trying 2 previous instructors, Alistair of AP Driving School was by far the best in my experience. Not only are the lessons tailored to your needs but Alistair is a genuine, efficient and a calming professional. My lessons were interrupted by the pandemic but Alistair catered to my needs. I found the lessons a very pleasant experience. The advice given was thorough and broken down in a way that aids learning. I passed first time and if you want the best chance to do the same, choose AP Driving School!

Fantastic experience: I booked Alistair for some refresher lessons after not driving for many years, he was brilliant, calm, professional and helped build my confidence back up in no time. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing driving instructor, he’s very calm and understanding. Being a first time driver I never felt pressured in anyway to do something I didn’t want too. He wants to help rather than grab your money I’ll miss our lessons Alistair!

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor helped me out hugely with my driving and my confidence

Fantastic experience: Alistair is a very good, calm and motivational driving instructor. He makes you feel at ease behind the wheel and creates the best learning environment possible. Personally I found his laid back teaching style highly appropriate for what can be a very stressful environment and Alistair’s demeanour and teaching style undoubtedly contributed highly to passing my driving test after just 17 hours of lessons with him. Fantastic instructor and a good guy, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Really good driving instructor. Very patient and understanding. He’ll explain everything until you understand fully without getting annoyed.

Fantastic experience: Alister got me a first time pass with lots of support and for a fair price. So glad I went with alister! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and patient. Helped my nephew to get his confidence back driving having had a year off from previous lessons.
