Parrot Driver Training (Nationwide) Ltd: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Passed first time after doing an intensive course with Liam! He was relaxed, patient and informative and prepared me for my test with superb knowledge of the test routes across Hull - on my test I knew every roundabout, stop sign and speed bump as we'd covered that route so many times! After being on and off with my lessons for almost 5 years with various instructors, Liam was by far the best I've had. Emma in the office was brilliant as well, and managed to schedule my block of lessons around my busy work shift pattern! The price for my intensive course was also by far the best quote I had, Liam recommended how many hours I needed after a 2 hour assessment and this proved to be just right!! I cannot recommend Parrot Driver Training enough, if you're looking for Intensive driving courses in Hull, then this is the one to do!!! Thank you so much Liam and Emma for your fantastic help!
Fantastic experience: Highly reccomend Parrot training, Liam was a fantastic instructor, giving me confidence and self belief, and his relaxed friendly honest teaching style was amazing, easing all my anxieties- well as much as possible giving the circumstance. I'm so chuffed and surprised I passed, but that was down to Liam, so thank you very much. Also thank you to Emma and admin for assisting in the booking process etc, so easy and informative. I would highly recommend parrot to anyone wanting to be taught with patience, honesty and to have a great experience in the process. Thank you again
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test today thanks to Liam, David & Emma. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: All around top quality service, I will recommend Parrot Driver Training to anyone looking to gain driving experience for passing the driving test. Thank You to the admin staff for booking my intense driving course and driving test with schedule's and payments explained to me over the phone and sent forward to my e-mail, couldn't ask for anymore from them. A Massive Thank You to my driving instructor Liam, during my intense course and before/on the day of my driving test Liam helped me gain the experience needed to pass my driving test on my first attempt. I seriously couldn't of asked for a better driving instructor, all around top instructor and person. Thank You all again at Parrot Driver Training.
Thanks Dan, much appreciated review. Happy driving pal
Fantastic experience: If you had a bad experience with a driving instructor, or need a new one, or even want to learn to drive I recommend DAVE at parrot driving school. He is a lovely man with the patience of a saint and really helped me with my confidence in driving, after 4 hours my driving was totally changed. Thanks again Dave, and parrot for helping me pass my driving test
Thank you for the review Maddison well done again on passing your test. We wish you all the very best!
Team Parrot.
Fantastic experience: World class training. Passed first time with Liam. Highly recommend. Liam is a top tier trainer, no stress or frustration, made me feel relaxed while enhancing my skills during my course and before my test.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service! The whole experience; from admin, booking, the driver, the driving experience...was truly exceptional! I took refresher lessons after a long time not driving, and in a few short hours, my driving confidence was restored. The instructor was brilliant and honed in like a laser on exactly where I needed to improve, and helped me work on those. Excellent!
Fantastic experience: I struggled so much with my nerves. Doing the intensive driving course was perfect for me as it was all at once and over and done with in a couple of days. Emma in the office was absolutely brilliant with communicating and organising everything even through lockdown when my test had to be changed she would ring to update me regularly and reasure me. My driving instructor was Liam and he was great! Really calm and eased my nerves so much. I passed today and I can't thank them enough!
Fantastic experience: A few months ago I did a two day intensive course and then a test with Ian. An absolute spot on guy and a great driving instructor, especially because I was quite nervous. He got me through my test first time, couldn't recommend them enough
Fantastic experience: I did class 2 with Emma shes really good professional instructor am glad I was with her many thanks
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Liam for all my training highly recommended on my success for passing.
Fantastic experience: Amazing teacher great experience passed first time
Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Duncan, Steve and Emma. Fantastic company. Couldn't be more helpful. Would strongly recommend for your training
Fantastic experience: Booked a 3 day crash course in October, (previously had numerous lessons spread over 5 years) Liam was amazing despite my nerves and numerous breakdowns - I was close to giving up as I genuinely thought I couldn't do it but Liam kept my hopes up and kept on reassuring me that I can do it. Unfortunately I failed first time (my own fault) with 1 minor and 1 major. I rebooked on the same day and although I hadn't drove for a month, today I passed my test!!! Big thank you to Liam, I honestly do believe I would of given up had it not been for his positivity and patience throughout. I would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: I had an absolutely amazing experience with the Parrot Driver Training guys. Instructor was friendly and easy to get on with. Provide excellent tutition during my C1. Would reccomend them to anyone!
Fantastic experience: Did both class 1 and 2 with parrot....1st class customer service, thanks to Geoff and Ross who werw great. The girls in the office were also very helful and polite. Thank again everyone, if I could leave 10 star I would.
Errrr... thanks Steve. We are a little confused though as we can't find you on our customer database? Don't get me wrong, we'll take 5 star reviews all day long! But you might also want to leave a review with the company you did your training with.
All the very best to you.
Team Parrot
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Parrot enough. I chose Parrot because A) they were the most reasonable priced in Yorkshire! & B) you actually learn to drive in the correct size of the vehicle you are doing your test for & C) they were a recommendation. From the beginning my experiance was 100%. On the day my instructor ( Geoff) was brilliant. I did my lesson and test in 2 days ( due to work commitments) The first day was long but Geoff made me feel at ease and really enjoyable! If you are looking to do your c1 or any licence then look no further! I will defiantly be recommending you. Thank you for everything and getting me through my test! Julie x
Thank you Julie. Much appreciated review.
All the very best from Team Parrot.
Negative experience: My granddaughter booked her intensive driving course with parrot and we were with her at the office when she booked it and got all the details off the office girl. After having done the 20 hour driving she expected her test at the end of the week this never happened she was told it would be the end of October so would need more lessons, when she rang the office the person on the other end of the phone was very rude and offhand with her and told her he suggests she go to another driving school and hung up on her. NOT IMPRESSED.
Dear Mr Cowlam, my understanding of your granddaughters complaint is that she thinks she should have had a test at the end of her five day starter training course. I have checked the relevant paperwork that was originally supplied to her and there is no reference to a practical test. We never have, and never will book students in for five days training with a test on the final day unless they have some driving experience already and even then, they will need to have an assessment with us first so we can establish their competence. I have spoken to Lucy's instructor Liam, who has confirmed that after the training last week it was agreed that she would need another day's training and then the test. Lucy also confirmed this when she called on Friday to arrange the test. During the telephone conversation Lucy gives no indication that she was expecting to have already sat the test and she was happy to proceed with the rest of the course, Lucy even requested a later date for the test because she wanted to do a Monday / Tuesday. I am sorry if you feel that you or your granddaughter have been misled, but I can not honestly find any evidence to support Lucy's complaint. I have sent Lucy a copy of the telephone conversation from Friday, and I offered to retrieve the original phone calls placed when she booked the course to evidence our position. Sadly Lucy declined this offer and told us she wasn't interested in them.
Fantastic experience: I have recently successfully completed my category B&E with Parrot Driver Training. During the short time that I spent with the team I found them to be friendly, professional and respectful. Both Geoff and John were excellent instructors who ensured that I was fully prepared to take my test. The vehicles and training facilities are of a high standard and the overall package was certainly value for money. I found the time I spent with the team at Parrot Driver Training to be a real pleasure and I would have no hesitation recommending them. Duncan deserves every success with this business.
Fantastic experience: I booked in for a 5 day starter course, the office staff was very helpful and respectful. They got me through my test for a very reasonable price, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to pass their driving test.
Negative experience: Over all the course was amazing my instructor liam was so kind! So chatty, funny & understanding, and with me having no driving experience he was fantastic!!! However I've just had my intensive course paid £510 and got told by someone in the office that my test would be at the end of the week when I've done my 20 hours of driving lessons on more then one occasion as I rang up around 3/4 times and each time I spoke to anyone I was reassured that my test was included in that price and will be at the end of the week.. I also went in to the office and got told when I completed my course I then got told I have to pay another £215 To do my test and more driving, clearly no one bothered to look to see if there was any available tests because now I have to wait till the end of October! Not happy at all..
Dear Lucy,
My understanding of your complaint is that you think you should have had a test at the end of your training and you claim that you was informed on more than one occasion that this would be the case.
I have checked your paperwork that was originally supplied to you and there is no reference to a practical test. We never have, and never will book students in for five days training with a test on the final day unless they have some driving experience already and even then, they will need to have an assessment with us first so we can establish their competence.
I have spoken to your instructor Liam, who has confirmed that after your training last week you agreed with him that you would need another day's training and then the test. You also confirm this when you called on Friday to arrange your test.
During the telephone conversation you give no indication that you was expecting to have already sat the test and you are happy to proceed with the rest of the course, you even requested a later date for your test because you wanted to do a Monday / Tuesday.
I am sorry if you feel that you have been mislead, but I can not honestly find any evidence to support your complaint.
Fantastic experience: Passed my c+e with parrot first time excellent company with very good instructors
Fantastic experience: Having no driving experience at all, the instructor taught me all he could to get me through my test which i was very happy with. The office staff are very trustworthy and helpful.
Negative experience: Tried to rebook my test as they told me i could when i could not attend the first test due to personal circumstances. however they decided to tell me that my deposit has been lost and they've used it to pay somebody. Absolute terrible excuse. A deposit is to make sure I am in queue or a place is definite. Terrible company regulations. they are insincere and corrupt.
Hi Gurpz Gill / Boota Singh, if you cancel your course within 28 days of booking, you will lose your deposit. It's clearly stated in our terms and conditions to protect our staff and the company from financial loss. You cancelled your course with less than 7 days notice. I fail to see how that makes us insincere and corrupt. We wish you all the best for the future.
Negative experience: Appalling. My granddaughter was taken to Bridlington for her test. She had never driven in Bridlington before so failed. It was alleged we asked for Bridlington when booking it. No way did I ask for it there. The place was never mentioned. Furious!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend parrot driver training, and a personal thankyou to my instructor Liam, who was very patient, thorough, helpful, and professional. Cheers liam, top bloke. Gary Forth.
Fantastic experience: Thanks for all your help and patience to get me passed 1st time. Thanks to Ian my instructor Would recommend anyone does it this way
Negative experience: Mary Garland - Wouldn't book these as they love taking your money for no courses!! worst experience ever lost nearly a grand for ticking wrong box they are having laugh at the customers!!
Thanks for the review Mary.
I can assure you we are never "having a laugh at the customers", not unless they are particularly funny anyway.
Unfortunately your son came to us with the incorrect licence entitlement which meant he couldn't legally go out on the road. He did enrol for an alternative course quite happily instead.
Anyway, we wish you all the best for the future.
Team Parrot.
Positive experience: First class service from booking to driving.highly recommended
