Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of learning to drive with Stewart over part of this year, who was the only out of many instructors I reached out to that called me back. And I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Stewart is a patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging instructor who really helped me build confidence behind the wheel. His clear and thorough tutoring ensured that I not only felt prepared for my test but also comfortable in all aspects of driving. Thanks to his excellent guidance, I passed my driving test on the first attempt! If you're looking for an instructor who genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Stewart.

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend compass to any learner driver, Stewart is an amazing Instructor with such a vast amount of knowledge I learnt so much from him, he gave me a level of driving confidence I don’t think I would have got at any other driving school, if I had to go back and do it all again I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Com pass is an amazing group and helped me pass my test 1st time with in 2 months .I was with a driving group for 6 lessons but they could not work around me and also they were not as good at teaching me and they woudnt of got me close to pass my test as quickly as com pass have .There price is a fair price and is definitely worth it .Would 100% recommend to anyone .Big thank u to Stuart as being an amzing instructor.

Fantastic experience: What an amazing driving school and amazing for nervous drivers. Would highly recommend. I have had many instructors over the years due to being a nervous learner and having driving anxiety, but Stuart is amazing and made me feel so comfortable
Fantastic experience: Had Stewart as my instructor and it's been absolutely fantastic. I was INCREDIBLY nervous when I first started, and after it all, I've just passed first time. Calm, confident and friendly... Thanks for putting up with all my terrible jokes!
Fantastic experience: After not driving for 2 years because of the pandemic, I thought I'd give driving a go again, after failing 3 times, I decided to go with a new instructor, I found Com'Pass Driving School and had Stewart as my instructor. He instantly saw my driving level and helped coach me to test conditions very quickly, There were a few points where I needed improvement and it was mainly to do with a confidence issue, which Stewart calmly helped me through. Passed my test with no minors. Would recommend Stewart for a calm relaxing environment for learning to drive.
Fantastic experience: Recently moved from Cornwall so needed a new driving instructor. Had lessons with Stewart. He is easy going, makes you feel confident in the car. Day of my test I felt very prepared and confident, passed with 0 minors. Best instructor I ever had.
Fantastic experience: My son learned to drive with Hudson and recently passed his test. Hudson was always very encouraging and professional. We would definitely recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Great driving lessons, got my brother and I through our tests first time!

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school. Com'Pass Driving school helped me to gain road and vehicle confidence and get a 1st Time pass with only 4 minors! Would highly recommend to any new learners.
Fantastic experience: Best driving instructor I've had, professional, friendly, very knowledgeable. Felt like I learnt a lot and felt relaxed too. Really appreciate that he went out of his way to squeeze me in as well.
Fantastic experience: Hudson is a brilliant driving instructor - knowledgeable, humorous and patient, answering all of my many questions. Not once was he late and not once did he look at his phone while I was driving. We covered all the test routes and we practiced particular maneuvers and roads that I didn't feel confident about. Thank you so much Hudson and Com'Pass!
Fantastic experience: EXCELLENT - I arranged an intensive course (35hrs) through an online third-party who paired me with Com’Pass, and I could not be happier with my experience. I found it to be enjoyable and professional – from first getting into the driver’s seat all the way through to passing my test. My instructor was patient and insightful and took time to understand me and my needs, coaching me through new situations and working on development areas until I got them right. I 100% recommend these guys for expert, friendly and flexible tuition.
Fantastic experience: Office staff very helpful with booking, got on really well with my instructor, enjoyable lessons. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time last week with these guys amazing from start to finish. Felt at ease the minute i got in the car. Thanks now iv got my car and really loving being on the road. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks again.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic teaching! I did a 25 hour intensive course with Stewart with minimal driving experience beforehand, and passed my test first time. I felt very safe and confident in my lessons, and felt fully prepared for all scenarios in my test. Would definitely recommend Stewart and Compass Driving School to all learner drivers.
Negative experience: My granddaughter had eight two hour lessons with them and as soon as she had to return to College they could no longer fit her in as her time of lesson would change, very inflexible. They took £400 for lessons she had though!!!! Hopefully she will find a Driving School to take her through to her Test. Update: She has now found and booked a driving School that will fit her in no matter how her time circumstances change.
Fantastic experience: Great experience and fair rates. Can’t recommend enough. If you’re lucky enough to get Stew as an instructor it’s an almost guaranteed pass - best teacher I’ve ever had by far.
Fantastic experience: Would recommend to anyone. The standard of teaching was amazing.
Fantastic experience: I am very happy with my instructor Peter for teaching me so well how to drive, he is the best and very nice person. I have just passed my test and cannot recommend him enough. I hope you all new learners have an instructor this good!
Fantastic experience: I have been driving with compass now for a few months.. I had Hudson as my driving instructor and he was brilliant! from the beginning he made me feel at ease and made me laugh on numerous occasions. I would highly recommend the driving school from the day I called too enquire two days later I had a driving lesson. I have now passed my driving test and can't thanks Hudson and the team enough so thank you for teaching me to drive but making it enjoyable at the same time :D x
Fantastic experience: From starting with no expierence driving and feeling really nervous, I managed to gain loads of confidence driving and also pass first time. If your looking for driving instructors who go the extra mile to help you pass, then this is the perfect company. Couldn’t fault them at any stage and highly recommend.
Negative experience: Nice idea if they actually offered what the Website implies
