ALB Intensive Driving: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Tony from ALB is a fantastic instructor! Our son passed first time thanks to his calm, clear, and professional teaching. Highly recommended for anyone learning to drive!
Thank you for your review. We wish you all the best and thank you for choosing ALB.
Fantastic experience: I've been taking lessons with Tony, he is very patient and takes time to explain and talk through everything and helped me learn to drive safely pass my test. ALB has also been very accommodating with my strange work schedule. I would highly recommend ALB intensive driving
Hi Sarah
Thank you for your review, we wish you all the best and thank you for choosing ALB. :)
Fantastic experience: I had been trying to learn to drive for over two years but struggled to find the right instructor due to my anxiety and panic on the road. I really wanted to drive a manual car, but every time I had to change gears, I would freeze up in fear. After multiple failed attempts with other instructors, I lost all hope of ever passing my test. That changed when I found ALB School. From the very first interaction, their level of customer service was outstanding. Danielle was incredibly helpful and friendly, making the booking process smooth and stress-free. Then I met my instructor, Dave, and I was absolutely amazed. His professionalism, deep knowledge, and, most importantly, his calm and patient approach were exactly what I needed. He didn’t just teach me how to drive—he built my confidence from the ground up, starting with the absolute basics and guiding me through every challenge at my own pace. He even taught me essential real-life skills like refueling and taking my car to a wash, which no one had ever shown me before. What truly made a difference was how flexible and understanding Dave was. He rearranged my lessons to fit around my work schedule and structured an intensive two-week course leading up to my test. Thanks to his incredible teaching, I finally overcame my fear and passed my manual driving test on the first try! I never thought I would get to this point, but ALB School and Dave made it possible. I highly recommend ALB, and I cannot praise Dave enough—if you’re struggling to learn to drive, he is the instructor you need!
Hi Jekaterina
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We wish you all the best and thank you for choosing ALB. :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing teaching, helped me pass first time! My instructor was very patient and flexible with dates, and booked all of my tests for exactly when I needed them. Thank you!
Hi Sienna
Congratulations and thank you for your review. :)
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Maxine enough as a driving instructor! From day one, she was incredibly patient and encouraging — even when I doubted myself. She explains things clearly and really helped me build confidence behind the wheel. Maxine genuinely went above and beyond to help me pass my test 1st time and become a safe and capable driver. So grateful to have learned with her!
Thank you for your review, we’re so pleased you passed and had a great experience with Maxine. All the best to you.
Fantastic experience: Mark help me relax and brought the best out of me (i failed three times before with other driving school) Thanks so much for your kindness and patience.
Thank you for your review. We’re so pleased you passed with ALB. All the best to you.
Fantastic experience: I am so pleased with my decision to learn to drive with ALB. My instructor, Nin, was exceptional; incredibly knowledgeable and patient. They scheduled my driving test within four weeks, and I passed on my first attempt. I could not be happier! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your review. All the best to you and thank you for choosing ALB.
Fantastic experience: I had the best time at ALB driving! Communication was amazing start to finish, and they were very adaptable to my situation. Tony was not only focused on my driving skills but also very attentive to how I felt throughout the process. I truly believe I wouldn’t have been able to pass first time if it weren’t for his encouragement. I’m only sad that I won’t be able to sit and chat with Tony anymore, which made my driving learning experience enjoyable and worthwhile. Thank you Tony <3
Hi Maxine
Thank you so much for your review. All the best to you and thank you for choosing ALB.
Fantastic experience: From the outset of looking for a course with dates to suit, ALB were magic. Communications were and continued to be prompt and helpful as were booking the times for the lessons and theory test. Tony is calm, approachable and as my son said, he was going to miss him once he’s passed - which he did first time. If you’re looking for a professional but approachable provider with compatible pricing I would recommend Tony and his team without hesitation. 5/5 but if I could score him 6/5 I would. Thank you Tony & your team.
Hi Lisa
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're so pleased he passed. Thank you for choosing us and we wish you and your family all the best. :)
Fantastic experience: Tony was brilliant at helping me to develop my driving skills and pass my test in Farnborough!
Hi Andrew
Thank you for your review, all the best to you. :)
Fantastic experience: Tony is an amazing and patient instructor. I have really bad nerves whenever it comes to a test and Tony always reassured me i could do it, i ended up passing with zero minors and i could not recommend ALB more.
Hi Josh
We're so pleased for you, thank you for your review. All the best to you.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant company! My son had passed theory and test within 8 weeks of turning 17 with only 1 minor, they went above and beyond in fitting him in and getting everything completed, pretty impressive in todays climate of trying to drive ! Thanks to all
Thank you for your review. We're so pleased for him, all the best to you all.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Tony at ALB intense driving course. Our daughter passed her test! She’s over the moon. Patience and perseverance and she became a confident driver very quickly.
Hi Cheryl
We're so pleased she passed. All the best to you all. :)
Fantastic experience: I booked an intensive driving course with Rob V through ALB driving and could not recommend him and the company enough; his instruction is both professional and extremely personable, which improved my confidence not just for the test but driving in general, and his extensive knowledge of the local area and test routes was very valuable during my lessons. The ALB team were also able to accommodate my complicated personal schedule, juggling university term dates and exams, and liase with myself and Rob well ahead to time to arrange the driving course and practical test itself, which I passed on the first attempt. I am very grateful for the work that Rob and ALB do to promote safe and confident new drivers on the roads, and would highly endorse their intensive driving courses for learners in the Farnborough area.
Hi Jordan
Congratulations. :)
Thank you for your review, its been a pleasure helping you and we will pass your review onto Rob. All the best to you.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic, mark was calm and kind and flexible. ALB were incredible, i can’t recommend highly enough!!
Hi Debi
Thank you for your review, all the best to you. :)
Fantastic experience: Would recommend ALB Intensive Driving in a heartbeat! I switched over from learning in a manual car to learning in an automatic car with Tony - as the manual gear wasn’t working out for me at all. I’m a very nervous driver and anxious about being on the road, but have just passed my test today, and all down to Tony. It was an intense but fabulous course over a week a bit, with my test booked very soon after my lessons ended. Tony was accommodating, and knew just how to guide me through my nerves and teach me the rules of the road! I would not have passed without him! Thanks Tony! :)
Hi Bethan
Thank you so much for your review. We're so glad you had a wonderful experience. All the best to you and congratulations.
Fantastic experience: Due to timing of starting university my daughter didn’t have time to go down the traditional weekly lessons route. ALB and specifically Tony were recommended to us and couldn’t have been more helpful from the start. They fitted us in and organised both theory and practical tests both of which were passed first time! Tony is a great instructor, instilling confidence in my daughter and making her believe in herself. Highly recommended!
Hi Jennifer
Thank you so much for your review. We’re so happy she passed first time. All the best to you all.
Fantastic experience: Books the test for you, gives good quality lessons which will pretty much guarantee a pass
Thank you for your 5 star ⭐ review. :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, booked 20 hours I have had lessons in the past but not driven in about 6-7 years, Maxine put me at ease straight away, she's really friendly and works with your strengths and weaknesses very well, I passed my test today first time only 2 minors.
Hi Graham
Thank you so much for your review. All the best to you. :)
Fantastic experience: Thank you ALB! I'm so glad I chose ALB Intensive Driving and the intensive course rather than ad hoc lessons. They are an actual local company and Tony was a great instructor who knew all of the test routes around Farnbourgh (particularly the roundabout). Both the theory and the driving test were booked well in advance of my course starting. The course is, as expected, intensive but in my opinion the way to go. Once again thanks Tony!
Hi Stephen
Thanks so much for your review. We’re so glad you had a great experience with us.
All the best and Merry Christmas.
Fantastic experience: I have just passed my test and Tony was brilliant! He helped me pass my test in just over a month first time! I would recommend to everyone
Hi Caitlin, thank you for your review.
Congratulations and all the best.
Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a massive thanks to Andrew in Chichester—he's been a fantastic instructor, and helped me pass first time after just 2 weeks of lessons, having started from zero driving experience. Everything was calm, clear and enjoyable, I'd recommend him and ALB 100%.
Hi Ellen
Thank you so much for your review. We’re so glad you had a great experience with Andy. All the best to you and congratulations.
Fantastic experience: No one I would reccomend more then ALB so helpful and amazing at what they do helped me to past first time especially to Tony who is an exceptional instructor and lovely man
Hi Matt
Thank you for your review. All the best to you and your family. :)
Fantastic experience: I took this course and passed first try. My instructor was friendly, funny, and most importantly very helpful. I had a wonderful time during the 2 week period of my course and couldn’t recommend it enough.
Hi Harry,
Congratulations and thank you for the lovely review. All the best to you.
Fantastic experience: 100% couldn’t recommend ALB intensive driving enough!! I had Antony as my instructor over a 30 hour course and he was exceptional, he put me forward for my test which was today and I passed with no minor faults can’t thank him and the company enough.
Hi Tyler, thank you for the review.
Congratulations and all the best.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test this morning, all thanks to Mark! Couldn’t be happier with my lessons and my results :D
Hi Maia
Congratulations and thank you for the review. All the best.
Fantastic experience: Great experience from start to finish had a great instructor rob passed my test first time with only 1 minor would highly recommend this company to anyone
Hi Elliot,
Thanks so much for your review, all the best to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I thought passing my driving test was going to be impossible, as I am an anxious driver, but Tony has helped make the impossible possible and helped me pass my test at my first go! Because of him, driving has become less complicated and hard maneuvers are now so much easier to do! Thank you so much for your help and I would really recommend individuals to book lessons with the company because you will really save a lot of time and money as the lessons are a lot more frequent and longer (and you can pass your test within a much shorter period of time) , which I think is more beneficial as you remember what errors you have done hence can learn from your mistakes a lot faster rather than waiting the next week where you can possibly forget what you have done wrong and learnt! You won't regret learning and passing your driving test with them!
Hi Salin
Thank you so much for your review. We're so pleased you passed first time and had a great experience with us. We wish you and your family all the best.
Fantastic experience: Could not recommend ALB any higher. Booked my course in July, ALB sorted a theory test for me at the start of August. My driving lessons were with Mark S in Farnborough, so I would highly recommend him he was very patient, helpful and a pleasure to have as a teacher. Most importantly, ALB managed to get me a test moved forward to just a week and a half after my lessons ended! I passed with only 1 minor fault (completely my fault, it was something we practised 100 times). Could not have done it without Mark. Overall, fantastic service - sorting both my theory and test within a very reasonable amount of time and the quality of teaching was excellent. Well worth the time and money.
Hi Nathan,
Thank you for such a lovely review. We’re so glad you chose ALB. We wish you and your family all the best. :)
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend more. My course begun September 9th, and by October 17th I’d passed my driving test. My instructor Rob changed it all for me, very calm instructor - really top instructor. Would certainly recommend ALB
Hi Clement,
Thank you for your review, all the best to you and your family. Enjoy your new independence and stay safe. :)
Fantastic experience: After being a first time driver in the Summer, he helped be to pass my test first time. The intensive course worked very well for me as a first time driver
Hi Reuben
Thank you for your review and thank you for choosing ALB. :)
Fantastic experience: Our son had an intensive course book with Tony and passed first time! Excellent service, Tony was great - patient, friendly, knowledgeable and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Thanks so much Tony!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with Tony and the ALB team. He helped me understand things with a high level of patience and made sure I understood what is needed to pass my test. Happy to say I passed on my First Attempt thanks to his training.
Hi Nitin,
Thank you for your review. All the best to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I had a 20 hour intensive course which in that time period I learned a lot of new skills when it comes to driving and being aware on roads. Big thank you to Tony who was my instructor who had lots of patience and helped me to pass my test today.
Thank you Raj for your review, all the best to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and focussed on teaching the different methods I needed to help me drive and pass my test would recommend to anyone who needs that extra mile to pass there driving test
Hi Connor,
Thank you for your review. All the best to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I past today with Tony and he was super easy to get on great teacher 100 per cent sent people his way thank you again
Hi Andy
Thank you for your review.
All the best to you and your family, stay safe. :)
Fantastic experience: A fab start for our daughters driving journey. At the end of her 30 hour course she decided she wanted to take her test in my car. She wasn't successful first time round, but Danielle managed to get her a retest 3 weeks later and she passed.
Hi Michelle
Thanks so much for your review.
So pleased she passed, all the best to you all.
Fantastic experience: Tony has been very patient with Morgan, and very amenable. The hours are very flexible and nothing has been too much. Morgan has been so happy to learn with ALB. Tony has gone out of his way to help Morgan pass her test, we can’t thank you enough. Thank you
Thanks so much for the review. All the best to you all. :)
Fantastic experience: Got a 30 hour intensive course, passed on first test. Tony is a great teacher.
Thank you for your review, all the best to you. :)
Fantastic experience: After trying another local instructor who didn’t really do it for me, I booked an intensive course with ALB - Tony was a fantastic instructor and is understanding of different learning styles so tailored his approach to my needs. He knows what is required to get you where you need to be and I passed first time!
Hi Daniel
Thank you for your review, all the best to you.
Fantastic experience: Tony and his team at ALB Intensive driving are great and I cannot recommend them more. My daughter suffers with some anxiety and was a bit nervous about starting her Advanced Driving Course. However, she quickly felt at ease with Tony and couldn’t speak more highly of him. There approach to the driving lessons seems very well structured and we didn’t encounter any of the issues or annoyances that some of my daughters friends did with other driving instructors.
Thank you very much for your review. It was a pleasure having her with us. All the best to you all. :)
Fantastic experience: What a really great system . Took the stress and time out of the whole system. The ALB team in Farnborough (particularly Tony) were wonderful and so supportive. Couldn't recommend more highly.
Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much for your review. All the best to you and your family. :)
Fantastic experience: Tony and his team at ALB intensive driving are amazing. After being significantly let down by a national company who offer an intensive course I reached out to ALB intensive driving. The personal service offer to get my daughter’s lessons started quickly and the securing of driving lessons and a test took the stress out of the situation. My daughter was really anxious about learning to drive and Tony was an excellent teacher and built her confidence to the extent that she passed first time. I highly recommend that intensive driving courses are the best way to learn to drive and using ALB Intensive driving is better than the larger national companies.
Thank you for your lovely review, all the best to you all. :)
Fantastic experience: I recently completed an intensive driving course with Tony from ALB, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Tony's expertise and professionalism were evident from the get-go, making the entire learning process smooth and efficient. First and foremost, Tony's teaching style is incredibly effective. He has a knack for breaking down complex maneuvers and concepts into simple, digestible chunks, which helped me grasp difficult skills quickly. His patience and encouragement also created a supportive learning environment, where I felt comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Moreover, Tony's extensive knowledge of driving regulations and road safety was evident throughout the course. He didn't just focus on teaching me how to pass the test; he emphasized the importance of safe driving habits that will serve me well beyond the examination day. Additionally, Tony's flexibility and adaptability were commendable. He tailored the lessons to suit my learning pace and areas of improvement, ensuring that every session was productive and meaningful. Whether it was practicing parallel parking or navigating busy intersections, Tony provided constructive feedback and guidance every step of the way. Overall, I highly recommend Tony to anyone considering an intensive driving course with ALB. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to his students' success set him apart as a top-notch instructor. Thanks to Tony, I not only passed my driving test today with flying colors but also gained the confidence and skills to become a safe and responsible driver for life.
Thank you Danny for the great review. I’m so pleased you passed today. All the very best to you.
Fantastic experience: Did an intensive course with Tony. I had some previous experience but just wasn't ready and needed a better instructor. Tony is an amazing instructor and made me feel at ease. He improved my confidence so much. I cannot thank you enough Tony! Passed with 1 Minor All the best, Soph.C
Thank you for your lovely review, all the best to you. :)
Fantastic experience: My partner completed his 20 hour intensive course this week with Tony , he passed first time . Tony has alot of patience and amazing knowledge and can feel at ease with , highly recommended. Ps thanks Tony From Terry
Thank you for your review, all the best to you both.
Fantastic experience: Could not have asked for a better instructor than Tony for my intensive training course in Farnborough. I passed my driving test with 0 faults. And I could not have done it without him. He guides you the way no other instructor ever can. Best investment done to pass my test. He is patient, humble and gets you test ready in no time.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, stay safe and all the best to you.
Fantastic experience: Awesome instructor, I passed first time with zero minors. Can’t recommend ALB Driving enough!
Thank you Charlie for your review, all the best to you. :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic course. Helped me build up my confidence and the skills needed for the test. ALB booked my practical test for me, extremely convenient and able to book the Farnborough test centre at a much sooner time than I was able to. Lovely instructor. Great lessons fixing issues with my driving and giving me the practice I needed to pass my test with 0 faults. I'm in my 30's, I learnt to drive as a teenager and failed my test before I was really ready to be doing a test. It put me off driving for many years. Thank you for giving me the instruction needed to help me pass and rebuilding my confidence in driving. Highly recommend.
Thanks Jamie for your lovely review, much appreciated.
All the best to you.
Fantastic experience: ALB Intensive Driving and Tony are absolute lifesavers! I was in a last-minute pinch, three weeks left till my test, and Tony squeezed me into his schedule for a 30-hour automatic course. With no experience at all, he helped me become a confident driver. He's an awesome teacher and with his help I passed my test with only 2 minors. ALB! Five stars all the way
Thank you for your lovely review, much appreciated. All the best to you. :)
Fantastic experience: My partner Natasha, recently done her intensive driving with ABL. absolutely amazing, can’t thank Tony enough for helping her pass her driving test. Would highly recommend, after starting with so many nerves her confidence on the road is now brilliant. Again cant thank Tony enough for his work and never giving up on tash and believing in her. passing with an almost faultless drive.
Thank you very much for your kind review. All the best to you all. :)
Fantastic experience: I have just completed my intensive course with ALB and I honestly couldn’t recommend the company more if I tried. I really appreciated the flexibility of the company and their ability to be able to book the theory and practical tests for you, this was a huge help. I feel so lucky to have had Tony as an instructor, he really made me feel at ease with driving and I have finished the course feeling like a confident driver. Thank you so much Tony!
Thank you for you're lovely review. All the very best to you and your family. :)
Fantastic experience: 30 hour intensive course, they were very professional and great to drive with. Love people who never put you down. Passes Frist time.
Thank you for your lovely review. All the best to you and your family. :)
Fantastic experience: We are very happy to recommend Tony to anyone. As well as providing excellent tuition, he was also organised, punctual and flexible. He responded quickly to texts and was always prepared to reschedule lessons if the need arose. Part of his service is booking tests, which is invaluable as these are currently extremely difficult to come by. He made the whole experience stress free and our daughter is confident behind the wheel.
Thank you very much for your lovely review, all the best to you and your family. :)
Fantastic experience: I did a 30-hour intensive driving course with ALB Intensive Driving. I had barely ever driven before at all so started from scratch. The instructor that I worked with was really kind and taught in a well-structured manner, and managed to get my driving level up to test standard really quickly. When my test was coming up, he had a conversation with me about whether or not I was comfortable taking my driving test. When we decided that I might not be ready, he changed my driving test date to two weeks later at no extra cost to make sure that I got enough practice, which really reduced my stress levels. I didn't have to worry about booking any of the tests, either theory or practical, as ALB does this all for you. They are also really flexible with hours/pickups and really try to do what works for you. I ended up passing my test the first time! Overall, they are a great company that go above and beyond to make sure that you learn how to drive in the best way possible.
Thanks so much Hannah for your lovely review. All the very best to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I have just completed my intensive course with Tony and have nothing negative to say about my experience. They were kind enough to give me another test almost instantly after i failed my first one. Tony has given me so much confidence in myself and driving. I have just passed my test and couldn’t recommend any other company to learn to drive with. Thank you so much Tony :)
Thanks Emilie for your lovely review. All the very best to you and your family.
Fantastic experience: I had a 30 hour intensive course and it was the best thing I’ve ever done! I was really nervous about driving at first but my instructor was really lovely and put me and ease. I passed after my course and I’m so happy I decided to go with ALB!
Thanks Caitlin for your lovely review. All the very best to you and your family. :)
Fantastic experience: I booked a 30 hour driving course with ALB intensive and had Tony as my instructor. Started in July had my test in November and passed first time. Brilliant instructor would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your kind review. All the best Olly.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant instructor. Passed first time and become a very confident driver. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind review. All the very best to you.
Fantastic experience: I’ve just completed a 30 hour intensive course with Tony and I couldn’t be happier! Tony was very friendly, very helpful, and helped me to feel at ease. I initially wanted a 20-hour, but was told a 30 hour would better suit my needs, and I’m glad I took the suggestion!! Thank you Tony & ALB!!
Thank you Nikki for your kind review, all the best to you.
Fantastic experience: Oh my goodness Tony has been amazing with my daughter and two sons Their confidence grew. Nerves disappeared totally recommend
Thank you for your lovely feedback.
Fantastic experience: I used this company as a 30 hour course and I passed first time. Tony is very friendly and makes you feel very comfortable in the car even when you are nervous.
Thank you for your review Shannon, all the very best to you and your family. :)
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend this company! I have been learning to drive around 16 months in total and did not have the best start. failed first test as i was clearly not ready with a different company. My friend then put me in connect with Dannielle and she arranged for me to meet the lovely Tony. Booked 30 hours and i then chose to do another 10 hours. He immediately changed my driving and increased my confidence and put with me and today I passed my test with only two minors (prob coz i was talking lol) I totally recommend ALB Intense driving to everyone and Tony and I shall miss him dearly. Tony is kind, realiable and patient. Thank you so much xx
Thanks Fiona for your wonderful review. It’s been a pleasure to have been on this journey with you, all the best for the future. :)
