Brilliant Driving School Swansea: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My experience with Baden was amazing he’s a great instructor not just because of how good he can teach you drive but also how well he deals with his drivers. Over the few months I’ve driven with Baden I have learnt how to become a safe and independent driver. Baden has become a best friend to me and none of this would have been possible without him!! The things Baden done for me, stripping me down to the basics when I was getting too cocky with my driving etc, helped me a lot. Baden changed my life now and also the way I look at life. If you’re looking for an instructor then Brillaint driving school is the place for you. Couldn’t say thank you enough Baden!!
Hi Borys
Thank you for listening to this old man’s advice you done all the work and you deserve everything you have worked for. A pleasure to teach and I will miss our lessons.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Baden enough, sometimes you might think he’s harsh but that’s what gets you to pass first time! The work he puts in and out of lessons is incredible, thank you so much Baden!
Hi Dhylan
I am simply guiding you towards your goal, you done the work Sir. Well done, thank you for your honesty and enjoy your driving.
Take care
Fantastic experience: I passed my test within 5 weeks of learning with Baden. I was for grateful for his guidance and support, he was patient with me yet made sure I did everything correctly. I would never have passed in that short space if it was not for baden’s teaching style! Thank you so much I would highly recommend.
Hi Katie
Many thanks for your kind supportive words, let’s not forget all the hard work you and your mother done out of lessons also. Congratulations on your pass and well done with all the work you put in, only too glad to help you ❤️
Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Baden enough for the incredible work he did with my daughter to get her fully test ready within 5 weeks. You spent many hours and days together. You were patient understanding yet totally honest in feedback too which is just what was needed. I highly recommend Baden to any parent looking for an instructor. He didn’t just teach her to drive he taught her how to drive safely. Diolch Baden!
Hi Paula
Thank you for your words and I was only too please to help you and her to reach her goal in such a short time.
Drive safe out there and now you have a taxi
Fantastic experience: Baden is the most empathetic and patient instructor out there. He knows how to tailor his communication in a way that the student can take onboard, and he helped me pass my test first try. He’s a pleasure to learn with and truly takes your instructing seriously. Thank you Baden!
Hi Matthew
Congratulations and well done. You put the effort in and you made it happen. Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated Sir.
Will miss our lessons and your company.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended Baden by a close friend of mine and I'm so glad I had the recommendation for my eldest daughter, Baden is an excellent instructor and his knowledge is impeccable! On her first lesson he came and introduced himself to me and explained what he was going to do to help my daughter get to the stage of passing her driving test (just 2 days ago, with only 1 minor) she's had a previous instructor but felt they weren't helping enough where she needed and she needed to be heard. Baden listened and he instructed her amazingly, I had the pleasure of joining them on a 2 hour lesson and I can honestly say he's an amazing instructor! I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for a driving instructor for their young adult to get through their driving with the best training possible! He's reliable and he won't let them down either! I will be booking him as soon as my other daughter is old enough to start learning to drive also. Only 3.5 years to go Baden! Highly recommend Baden.

Hi Catherine
Many thanks for your kind generous words of support. I was only too glad to help your daughter reach her goal. Please do not forget, you done much work also, but I believe you benefited by observing as you mentioned, again, only too glad to help. Many thanks for your recommendation and I look forward to the time I get the opportunity to teach your other daughter. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching Ffion in the Welsh language & the examiner also enjoyed assessing her in the Welsh language also. Until we meet once more, thanks once again for your raving approval of our coaching, teaching, instructing tactics.
Kind regards
Baden.
Fantastic experience: Just passed today, just want to say how amazing Baden is as an instructor. Great teaching tactics and is always there for mental, emotional and driving support. He has been a massive help to me! Thank you Baden. I'd 100% recommend BRILLIANT driving school to anyone who asks!
Hello Ffion
Diolch am ych geiriau caredig, pob lwc yn y dyfodol o’ch chi’n pleser I dysgu
Hwyl am nawr
Baden.
Fantastic experience: Today, I passed my test with only 2 minor marks, which I never could've imagined! Baden at Brilliant Driving School is absolutely phenomenal at what he does and I couldnt have asked for a better instructor. He is so committed to the work that he does and to his students also. He is incredibly patient and understanding, and knows how to handle nerves amazingly. I personally am a massive overthinker and always let things get to me, Baden gave me the best advice on how to handle this and made me feel so calm and relaxed in the car with him. It's hard to believe that I have come so far with my driving, however that wouldn't have been possible without the hours of dedication Baden gave to teach me to drive. He is just amazing in every aspect and makes driving as simple as possible. I really really cant emphasize how great his work is, and how much of a caring and kind person he is! Thank you so much for all your hard work Baden, you are the best at what you do. Will miss our lessons each week
Brooke
Wow! Simply Woe!
Words to follow on from that unbelievable review will be hard, but I will try.
Although I appreciate your kind supportive words and thoughts, as I have always said, it is not about me, you are the individuals that bring your dreams to life. You put the work in, you listen, practise & end up achieving your goal. I am but a small piece of that puzzle & I am only too glad I could help.
Please continue to believe in yourself, you are amazing & can achieve anything you set your mind to, I truly believe that with all my worth.
Drive safe, keep talking to mini Pete & peep or wave if you see or pass us. I too will miss our lessons
Kind regards
Baden.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving school Swansea is the brilliant driving team I would definitely recommend coming to brilliant driving school Swansea if you want to start learning to drive you learn a lot and I’ve learned so much and you feel amazing after a driving lesson i would highly recommend to book your driving lessons in the new year
Hi Chloe
Many thanks for your kind words, it is very heartwarming to see that your experience is of such to you and long may it continue until we get you through your assessment.
Kind regards
Fantastic experience: Started with Baden in September after unsuccessful driving test attempts with previous instructors and my driving has been impacted in a great way, such a modest and nice instructor, easy to get along with, I would recommend to new or experienced drivers. Baden’s puts in endless effort through your time with him from first thing in the morning to when he goes home and puts in the extra effort, he doesn’t teach you to pass the test only, he teaches you to pass and be able to drive after the fact. Kudos Baden.
Hi Keiran
What a pleasure it was to teach you and thank you for trusting in me to get you to the end of your learning journey.
Hope you and mini Pete have many years of safe driving
Take care
Baden
Fantastic experience: Baden is a fantastic driving instructor, always approachable and a calming presence for the nervous learner. My daughter passed first time
Hi Melissa
Many thanks for your kind words, very grateful. She was a pleasure to teach (honestly) & I wish her all the best in her future.
Diolch
Fantastic experience: Excellent and wonderful instructor who really dedicates himself to his students and puts in more effort than expected from most. Commits himself to understanding his students in order to help them best. Always available to help with questions or confusion. Supportive and straight-up with constructive criticism and advice. Won’t send a student to test until he believes they are ready, which really helped with my own confidence and belief in myself on the day. Will happily have a laugh in the car to ease nerves and make his students feel as comfortable as possible but will be serious when it’s required. Teaches you how to drive not how to pass the test.
Amazing kind words there from a simply BRILLIANT student. It has been a pleasure to coach & teach you on your journey, I was only to pleased to be part of your ability to drive safely. Stay safe out there and beep or wave if you pass.
Fantastic experience: When I started learning with Baden I didn’t expect how much effort he put into his teaching. For example he has a YouTube (brilliant driving school) which is for anyone and everyone which helps a lot and he emphasises a lot about homework because you will spend a lot longer learning to drive if you only rely on time in lessons. And whenever I needed it Baden has pulled me into the side of the road and allowed me to take a breath and talk to him and to help clear my mind. I’ve felt like I’ve had a genuine connection with Baden through learning with him. And I know firsthand he doesn’t just teach me how to drive he taught me how to drive safely and to show that I got 0 minors :) so I just want to say I would recommend Baden to anyone because he puts his all into his teachings.
Hi Cameron
Many thanks for your kind words, I am humbled truly. I say it time and time again, I am only as good as the pupils who listen to the coaching. Stay safe out there and beep if you pass
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with baden! he would always make sure i understood something, hammered it in so that I was fully confident with what i was doing. He’s extremely patient and dealt with me when i would stress out. Thanks!
Diolch Emma
Pleasure to teach (Honestly ) loved our Welsh conversation and going to miss you.
Stay safe out there please and we are here if you need us.
Fantastic experience: Going into my lessons with Baden I was a really anxious driver. I was scared of roundabouts and I didn’t trust other cars on the road. These worries were dealt with on my very first lesson and from there my confidence grew. Baden adapts his way of teaching to how you learn and I can honestly say without his help, I never would’ve passed my test(1st time with only 2 minors!!) If you are looking to learn how to drive, Brilliant Driving School is the place for you!!! I can’t recommend Baden enough and I’ll never be able to put into words how grateful and happy I am with my learning experience:):)
Hi Cerys
Wow, I am speechless with your kind words, thank you so much. We were only to glad to help you over coming your uncomfortable feeling of driving & helping you reach your ultimate goal.
Stay safe out there and we are always here for advice and support ☺️
Fantastic experience: We found Baden through his informative YouTube videos, and he did an amazing job putting the final touches on my daughter’s prep before her test. Baden was incredibly generous with his time and advice, really thoughtful about our needs, and his guidance with the driving maneuvers was a huge help. He gave Elise the confidence to handle everything with ease. She passed her test on the first try (including the parallel parking!) with only 2 minors. Many thanks, Baden – we really appreciated your driving instruction! Very best Rob
Hi Rob
Many thanks for your kind words Sir & we were only to happy to help Elise get over the line. We are especially grateful for your mentioning our YouTube channel & the fact that it helped you in the manner I did. Brushing up on a job well done by yourself using the channel to its upmost.
Stay safe out there Elise and beep if you see us please.
Regards
Baden.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Baden at brilliant driving , he helped my son get ready for his test and he passed today , he explains everything in detail , if your looking for an instructor look no further
Many thanks for your kind review Kelly & I was only too glad to advise you both & help get him over that final hurdle.
Fantastic experience: I passed today first time! For some background I had practiced for 12-14ish hours with an instructor and family, I took a break and came to Swansea uni where I continued my lessons with a new instructor, Baden, with the Brilliant Driving School. Lessons are well-planned in advance, using the Total Drive app Baden keeps track of progress with a discussion at the end of each lesson on how it went and what will be looked into next lesson. Baden is a superb and fun teacher- direct in making sure you know your mistakes, empathic in how to overcome them. You can really tell he cares about his job and pupils with the effort he puts in, I don’t have a bad word to say and if you are looking to be a safe, legal and confident driver I can’t recommend the Brilliant Driving School enough.
Many thanks for your kind words Lucas, they mean so much. You were an absolute pleasure to teach, attentive, respectful and thank you for laughing at my Dad jokes . Take care of yourself and your family and loved ones, only too glad to have helped you live your dream.
Fantastic experience: Baden has been an incredible help on my journey to passing my test. I was a very anxious driver, but Baden has been patient and kind with me throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend him enough when learning to drive! I really would not have passed without his help. Baden is extremely hard working, always accommodating to what I needed and always there for advice and support outside of lessons. His groupchat with current learners and ex pupils who have passed is a massive help and a lovely example of his dedication. Baden not only teaches in lesson but also supplies helpful videos and tips to help learning outside of the car. Thank you so much for everything!!
Such lovely words and very much appreciated Katie, Diolch.
But as I always say to all that have given me the privilege of couching/teaching them, you are the people that do all the work.
I am only too glad to help you on your journey.
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for an instructor who will not only help you pass your test, but actually help you be confident and capable of driving anywhere, this is the driving school to go for. I passed first time with only 2 minors and felt confident and prepared to drive by myself as soon as I had passed. Baden really cares and supports his students and works incredibly hard to make sure you're supported as you learn. We worked together to make sure I not only had the skills, but also the confidence to pass my test first time. It was worth every hour that I put in!! I can't thank Baden enough for helping me to pass my test and help me to have that extra independence!
Brianna
You were an absolute pleasure to teach and I will miss our lessons together. Thank you for your kind words & I sincerely hope you stay safe out there on the road.
Diolch
Fantastic experience: Having come from Tunisia and having to learn to drive with the uk regulations and opposite side of the Rd I found driving very hard. I was so thankful and blessed to have found an instructor like baden. He was patient, accommodating in my lessons and booking system, so supportive to me and even my wife. This is a gentleman who isn't in it for the money. He is so kind and genuinely wants only the best driving and safety for his students. He puts his whole life into teaching students to be as safe as they can be on the road. To drive correctly with respect for themselves and others. For anyone looking for an instructor I wouldn't hesitate on recommending brilliant school swansea. And we will certainly be using them when our daughter turns 17 in 6mths time. Baden thank you so so much. You've helped me to be able to achieve not just my driving but so many more opportunities. I will miss our weekly sessions. Kind regards Majdi
Hi Majdi
Well I am truly humbled by your generous kind review & description of our time together.
I too will miss our lessons & your unique view on life. We wish you every success with your future, for you & your beautiful family.
God bless you

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Baden, he was very understanding and adapted his teaching to my way of learning. He is an amazing instructor who u can have a laugh with and be serious with. This allowed me to grasp driving, and in my test I was able to think for myself and not be nervous. I’m forever greatful for his help and teaching.
Harri, thank you so much for your kind words & I am only to glad to have helped you on your journey. You made teaching easy as you were attentive to everything I presented. Do not forget you also helped yourself with your brother outside of lessons also & worked hard to get your theory done also. Safe driving, will miss the crack
Fantastic experience: I had passed first time with only 6 minor marks! Without a doubt, a genuine man and a hard worker. No instructor out there will put in as much effort into your driving as Baden did for me. It took me quite a lot of learning and hours to get to the point of test-ready, but the education experience gets tailored to your specific situation. The prices are great for the sheer level of learning and skills you are taught. I highly recommend.
Thank you Astafa
You were a pleasure to teach and a gentleman. Very kind words and we sincerely hope you enjoy your new found freedom. Stay safe out there please
Fantastic experience: I passed my test first time with Brilliant Driving School Swansea on the 21st of April. They go above and beyond to ensure that customers are happy and learning. They work around the clock 7 days a week and, in my experience, ran over the lesson time almost every time in order to ensure that I was learning and happy at the end of my lesson. Could not recommend Brilliant Driving School more and would thoroughly urge any learners to go with them.
Hi Jamie
Many thanks for your kind and honest review. Will miss our lessons young man, you are a truly brilliant individual.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test today with Baden I had 0 minors I’ve had the 40 hours tuition and I’ve been practising with family and it has all payed off I am extremely happy with my result and couldn’t ask for a better instructor I highly recommend Baden as an instructor to learners of any experience level
Diolch Lewis, you were a pleasure to teach and I will miss the banter young man
Fantastic experience: Driving instructor, therapist, and Dad joke extraordinaire - couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Passed my test first time and this is 100% down to the support of Baden both in and out of the car. You won’t find an instructor more dedicated to his students, and he truly is there 24/7 to give advice! Lesson prices are an absolute steal for the level of time and extra support Baden provides - can’t recommend enough!
Catrin, I am truly humbled by your absolutely generous kind words, I truly am speechless. Thank you so much for being the student you were and I wish you the very best with your new career.
Fantastic experience: Baden helped me a lot the time i was with him and has made me a very safe and good driver, i couldnt reccomend him more.
Diolch Brandon. You were a pleasure to teach and a true gentleman. Thank you for making it easy. Stay safe, peep if you pass and thank you for your kind review.
Fantastic experience: I just passed my test with Baden, honestly couldn't be happier, he's helped me so much with confidence and my anxiety and I genuinely believe I couldn't have done it without him, he puts in so much work both inside and outside of the car and anyone would be lucky to have him as an instructor. Highly recommend Baden if you're looking to learn. Thank you for everything.
Hi Mason
Many thanks for your kind words & I was only too happy to help you with your dream of learning to drive. Safe motoring pal
Fantastic experience: Honestly one of the most down to earth genuine people ive ever met. He helped so much with anxiety and helping keep nerves down in car and couldn't of asked any more from him. The help outside of lessons as well is amazing as he takes time after lessons to provide videos that will help outside of the car to prepare you for your next lesson overall i couldn't of asked for a better instructor and highly encourage anyone looking for one to choose Baden
Thank you so much for your kind words, only to glad to help
Fantastic experience: My daughter was poorly for one early morning lesson, it was too late to cancel so I asked Baden if I could take the lesson instead. He said yes without hesitation. I have to say it was extremely beneficial. He asked what I wanted out of the lesson…I didn’t want my bad habits corrected, only to be made aware of them. I followed his guidance and used the time to ask questions about the routes and to teach me what to look out for so when I’m in the car with my daughter I’m giving her the right information with confidence. It has helped greatly (and I’m personally a better driver for it). I would strongly recommend any parent going out practising with their child to ask Baden for a lesson.
Many thanks for your feedback Jenny & I was only too glad to help. Nice to read that it has helped you to help your daughter, who for all intents and purposes is a pleasure to teach and very attentive. She is making great progress between us all.
Fantastic experience: Baden is a great instructor in lesson and out of lesson, his WhatsApp group was very useful. He taught me someone who never liked riding a bike on the road to drive safely and confidently… I passed first time with no minors.
Hi Will
Thanks for your kind words & positive feedback. Hope all is going well, stay safe out there.
Diolch
Fantastic experience: If it wasn't for Baiden I would never of gotten my licence I would suggest anyone looking to learn to drive to go to Baiden. Absolutely amazing driving instructor
Thank you so much
Fantastic experience: Baden been teaching my daughter to drive over the last months and she’s really enjoying the experience , every time she comes back from a lesson she’s beaming and very excited for the next lesson , Amazing driving instructor , Very professional and his knowledge of the rules of the road is exceptional . Couldn’t be happier.
Hi Barry, many thanks for your kind words and it’s a pleasure to teach her.
Fantastic experience: Baden, helped me gain my confidence behind the wheel, from being a really nervous driver on the road to begin with to now feel highly confident, Baden is full of knowledge of the vehicle, engine and of driving he kept my nerves calm and collected! One of the best teachers ever
Diolch Jodie
Enjoy your freedom and happy motoring.
Hwyl am nawr
Fantastic experience: Baden has been working with my son and today I got to see first hand just how much progress my son has made in such a short amount of time. I wanted to start to take my son out in our car to support his driving lessons with Baden so Baden suggested I joined them in the lesson to see how I could help when I take him out. It was invaluable. I can now work with my son on the areas he is least confident in and use the same techniques Baden used to talk him through the drive. During the lesson it was also lovely to see the rapport that has been built between them. My son suffers with anxiety and rarely takes to new people, so it was great to see him happy and relaxed with Baden. Baden goes above and beyond to help my son, both in developing his driving skills and his confidence. I highly recommend him to any parent looking for an instructor who truly cares about their students and isn't there just to take the money. I have no doubt that it will only be a matter of time until my son has his licence. Thank you Baden.
Hi Nikki
He is an absolutely legend and a pleasure to teach. I really appreciate your kind words and I am so pleased you now have the confidence to further work together so he can benefit even more.

Baden.
Fantastic experience: I joined this driving school around January of 2023 and Baden was my instructor. As of the 28th of June I have now passed my practical. I want to recommend this driving school and especially Baden as an instructor. His methods and instructions are spot on and you can confidently trust him by your side when you are learning. He was really good with dealing with me when I was stressed and manages to always calm me down when in the heat of the moment. The support group and WhatsApp group chat they have is also great as it has alot of great theory tips and videos for you to watch in-between lessons to learn and reflect upon. I owe everything to Baden for his teaching and I know I will drive the way he has taught me for the rest of my life. If you are searching for instructors I would recommend no one other than Baden and this driving school. 5 Stars
WoW, that is such an amazing review and I am so glad I was able to make a difference. You were a please to teach and safe driving for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: In a matter of months, Baden has taken me from feeling apprehensive about driving to being confident, competent and ready to pass my test. He is invested in each and every one of his learners, and goes above and beyond to find ways of teaching that work for each of them.
