Pro-Driver Training: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Charles was incredibly good with me as I am very nervous person. I have enjoyed my lessons with him and he has helped me massively in passing first time with only 3 faults. Highly recommend Charles and pro diving.
Fantastic experience: Charles has been a really instructor - doing an intensive and passed first time with only 1 minor. Cheers guys
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Pro Driving School passed My driving test first time in automatic with Pernille great Instructor I would highly recommend them .
Fantastic experience: ISHAK is a great instructor, very patient and knowledgeable. Beat instructor any one could have or want. And a very big thank you to the whole pro driving team for booking tests and always being transparent with me would highly recommend Ishak and the pro driving team
Fantastic experience: The pro driver team are just brilliant they are all so friendly and helpful! When I first started with pro I had already had lessons with other instructors, and I think my brain just didn’t click with their teaching methods. But when I started with Pernille she was very patient and started right from the basics again, which built my confidence up. This made it easier for me to learn how to pass the test and most importantly drive safely. When it came to manoeuvres, she takes time to find out what ways work and don’t work with the individual student. This was great for me as I struggled with my lefts and rights during my training. All in all my experience with pro driver was excellent and I can’t recommend them enough.
Fantastic experience: Has been the best couple of years of my life with you Charles, you've always been a guiding light and so thankful I've stuck with you till the end, ticked all the boxes now and onto the next best thing, driving on the road!! ✨️All the best to you and the ProDriver team who got me this far, awesome! :)))
Fantastic experience: Friendly and saved the day when my instructor got ill on the day of my test and helped me pass first time!
Fantastic experience: Jo has been a calm and encouraging driving instructor to our daughter. The team at pro driving have been fantastic!
Fantastic experience: Had Will, he was very good, passed me first time, absolutely no issues, thank you!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend pro driving school they have Patience With nervous students, very friendly and very helpful I felt at ease at all my lessons thank you so much p x
Fantastic experience: Would recommend! Will kindly obtained a pass for both my sons, very patient, and always professional.
Fantastic experience: Had been asked a few times to train to become an instructor as Charles (my new boss) believed I had the potential to do it, always shrugged it off never believing I could (financially or physically) well one summer afternoon in August 2023 after a pants day at work we crossed paths and he asks again, now something triggered in me to try so I agreed, had a sit down and worked out the what I needed to do to get going, started training in October 23 (realised I could not drive like I thought I could) passed my advanced theory in Jan 24 passed my advanced driving test in may 24, with 1 driver fault, now this is guy that could barley check a mirror let alone a right shoulder check fast forward from then to yesterday and I passed my part 3 instructor test with 41-53 marks, buzzing is an understatement for what I’ve just achieved. If you’d like a change of career and fancy yourself teaching people how to drive then definitely contact Pro-driver training, Charles is an absolutely fantastic instructor and will give you everything you need from his vast wealth of knowledge for you to gain the skills and the confidence to go on the road and change people’s lives
Fantastic experience: After the brilliant service from pro driver training for our older daughter three years ago, I did not hesitate to contact Lesley to book with them for our younger daughter. I have complete confidence in the team.
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor Pernille made me feel so comfortable from the outset. As a very nervous person who suffers with anxiety I had previous instructors who made me worse, however I felt so at ease! Would highly recommend pro- driver training and I passed first time! Thank you P! Xx
Fantastic experience: My daughter (10 years) had her first lesson in the Pro-Drive play pen today and I can honestly say it was the most brilliant experience and she has not stopped talking about it. Charles was warm and welcoming and made us both feel at ease. He went the extra mile to ensure we captured the special moment and made a little girls birthday dream come true. He explained everything in an age appropriate and easy to understand way which gave her tonnes of confidence and enthusiasm. Thank you! We will definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic! My son and daughter have both passed with Pro-Driver, I cannot praise them enough! Very highly recommended thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great teacher and wonderful lessons. would definitely recommend!!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing time learning to drive with pro. Pernille was a very calm and patient instructor :), which made me feel more comfortable and confident with my driving. She made an effort to let me have several mock tests with different instructors which helped me to prepare for my test and passed it in just one try. Leslie is also very accommodating, she sorted out my practical test date before my theory test certificate expires.
Hi Catherine, so happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. Hope you have a wonderful future with your new found independence and wish you all the very best. From all of us here at Pro-Driver Training
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Pro-Driver! What a wonderful company - reliable, flexible & great instructors. They really look out for their learners. From my son’s first mini experience over 9 years ago to getting on the road this year & passing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Had a brilliant lesson with charles today. Focused on roundabouts and gave me the confidence to do them alone with no help. Starting to feel like a driver that will be safe and confident. Thank you and already looking forward to my next lesson.
Thank you for the lovely review so glad you are happy and doing well
Fantastic experience: I was on an intensive with Lesley and just passed with two faults, felt very confident going into my test. Thanks Lesley.
Hey Brady, it was a real pleasure teaching you those skills and I will miss our lessons. Have a great life with your new found independence and drive safely all the best Lesley
Fantastic experience: I started my driving lessons with Charles almost two years ago, and I can't recommend him enough! I really struggled learning to drive, due to my concentration not being the best! However from the very beginning, Charles was patient, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Charles has a fantastic way of explaining things clearly and breaking down difficult maneuvers into manageable steps. He always knew when to push me to improve and when I needed encouragement. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test first time. I wouldn't have done it without him!!!!! Beyond being a great teacher, Charles is also a really nice and funny guy who cares about his students' progress. If you're looking for a driving instructor who will help you succeed while making the learning process enjoyable, Charles is the one to go with. Thank you, Charles, TRUELY, for everything!
Thank you for this lovely review Olivia! It’s not always easy and sometimes takes a little longer but the main thing is that you enjoyed it and that you have now become a safe driver with exceptional skills. Well done and thank you for all your hard work
Fantastic experience: Very good experience and I’m being taught fast and I’m learning to drive with lesley very well
That’s great news keep it up and we will get there
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Pro driver training enough. My son has struggled a little with his confidence and nerves when driving and this is something that instructors at different driving schools haven’t helped with. Charles started teaching my son and straight away he said he felt totally different. He felt comfortable with his teaching technique and started to enjoy the process. Charles was patient, kind and empathic and I couldn’t believe the difference in my son’s driving ability in such a short space of time. I felt confident my son was being taught to be a safe and capable driver beyond sitting his test and not just being taught to pass the test. He passed his driving test yesterday . If you are looking for lessons you will definitely get an exemplary standard of instructor with Pro. A huge thank you to Charles and the Pro team. Now time for car shopping!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review and for telling others about your experience with Pro-Driver Training. We wish your son safe driving and a great time car shopping
Fantastic experience: Jo was a great instructor and helped me to pass my test first time today! ⭐️
Great news Ellie, congratulations and I hope you got the picture. Safe driving from everyone here at Pro
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic morning our daughter had it’s a memory that will last for every many thanks
Hi Catherine, thank you so much for the lovely review and we hope to see you again soon all the best Lesley
Fantastic experience: Both my sons and one of their friends had Mirza teach them to drive. What a legend. Really great. Couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of their journey and for choosing us. We wish them both safe driving for life. All the best from everyone here at Pro ☺️
Fantastic experience: This company is truly amazing. All too often we are quick to leave bad reviews. This time I am going to leave a review that is very true. From the moment I booked driving lessons with this company Lesley sorted everything in an instant, she made everything very easy for me as a parent. My son then met his driving instructor who worked around the hours that we were able to do. Mirza is a truly amazing instructor. He made my son feel very comfortable while making sure that he covered everything. I can't praise this man enough he is one of the best instructors, my son passed first time due to the knowledge and experience of Mirza. Thank you so much Lesley and her team at Pro- driver training in Beccles. Marion
Aw thank you Marion. It was a real pleasure to help. Thank you for choosing us and all the best for Thomas a great picture too all the best Lesley
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 48-hour intensive driving course at Pro Driver Academy, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, the professionalism, attention to detail, and calming atmosphere provided by the instructor made all the difference in helping me achieve success. The professionalism exhibited by the instructor was evident from the moment I enrolled in the course. They were knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated to helping me reach my full potential. Their expertise in teaching driving skills was matched only by their patience and willingness to address any questions or concerns along the way. Attention to detail was another hallmark of the course. Every aspect, from the lesson plans to the practice sessions, was meticulously planned and executed to ensure maximum effectiveness. The instructors took the time to assess my strengths and weaknesses, tailoring the instruction to suit my individual needs. Their keen eye for detail helped me improve my driving skills with each passing hour, leading to a noticeable increase in confidence behind the wheel. One of the most remarkable aspects of the course was the calming experience it provided. Learning to drive can be a nerve-wracking endeavour, but the instructors at Pro Driver Academy created a supportive and encouraging environment that put me at ease from day one. Their calm demeanour and positive reinforcement helped alleviate any anxiety I had, allowing me to focus on mastering the skills necessary to pass the driving test. In conclusion, I highly recommend Pro Driver Academy for anyone looking to complete an intensive driving course. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to providing a calming experience set them apart from the rest. Thanks to their exceptional instruction, I passed my driving test with flying colours and feel confident hitting the road on my own.
Aw that’s a great review Andre! Thank you so much it was a real pleasure to put you with the right instructor and I will ensure that Mirza sees this. Well done today and drive safely. All the best for you and your future from everyone here at Pro-Driver Training
Fantastic experience: My daughter attending on Monday morning and had a really enjoyable experience. The staff are friendly and explained everything to us and my daughter really well. Thank you for making the experience even more enjoyable for my daughter.
Hi Kirsty, thank you for the really lovely review hopefully look forward to seeing you again soon. All the best Team Pro
Fantastic experience: Felix was absolutely amazing i wouldn't recommend anyone else! I can’t thank you enough!
Hi Eliza, thank you so much for your lovely review. I will pass this on to Felix. Drive safely and all the best for the future from everyone here at Pro-Driver Training ☺️
Fantastic experience: I’d like to thank you guys so much for helping me pass especially Mirza I would definitely recommend going with pro driver training many thanks Tyler :)
Hi Tyler, so glad you enjoyed your driving experience with Pro-Driver Training. Good luck and drive safe always
Fantastic experience: Lesley had a free slot to fit in a 3 hour assessment for my son. Her comments were really helpful and thorough and have set him up in the right direction for future lessons (unfortunately not with her due to availability issues). Thanks Lesley for your help, I will certainly recommend to others.
Hi Simon it was a real pleasure to meet you both and please let me know if you need my help. I will certainly try. All the best and good luck Lesley
Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience from start to end. Other reviews on here complain about availability etc. It is a busy time for driving and always will be! Not just lessons but test times as well. I had Pernille and she was fantastic, not once did I feel uncomfortable or stupid for making a mistake. She was always so calm and attentive with brilliant instruction. I passed first time with 1 fault, I think that says it all. These guys are everything driving instructors should be. Thank you!
That’s awesome Ophelie. So glad you enjoyed your experience with Pro and thank you for the review Drive safe
Fantastic experience: Having tried lessons at various points over the past 30yrs in manual vehicles and not getting on with them, i gave up! Then along came Pro-Driver. From the start they were fantastic, Lesley got me booked in and setup to begin. I started my lessons in August 2023 with Pernille who works with the Automatic car, which was a game changer for me! Her patience, knowledge and ability to put me at ease was fantastic. Her belief in me being ready to take the practical test was a great boost too and at 48yrs old i finally passed my test on 25th March 2024 with a clean sheet and im still floating!! I highly recommend Pro-Driver Training 1000% and hope to send my son their way in the near future when he decides to start driving!
Hey Zoe thank you so much for your lovely review so glad we could help you. Please keep up driving safely and enjoy your independence. All the best Pro-Driver Training

Fantastic experience: Lesley was great with my 13 year old son today. He loved the experience behind the wheel and will definetly be back to work on his skills.
Hi Kelly, sorry for the late reply and thank you for the great review. Can’t wait to see you guys again at the PlayPen
Fantastic experience: Driving lesson brought for daughters 12th birthday. She had a fantastic experience, thank you Felix. She desperately wants to come back as she enjoyed it so much
Thank you for your review ☺️That’s fantastic news hopefully we will see you again soon
Negative experience: I haven’t had any driving lessons (and neither will I ever want them here) so I can’t comment on the quality of those (would suggest you check out yell reviews as well as google). But I will still go out of my way to leave this review based on my enquiry alone because that was a bit ominous RE the quality to come. If you have the chance please try other options before this! So. I’m checking round for availability for weekend & evening tuition, plus intensive course. Not unreasonable. Prompt callback, wonderful. Attitude - rubbish. The woman bluntly told me they couldn’t help immediately, then dragged out the conversation five minutes to have a go at me for daring to request lessons that weren’t at really inconvenient times for me as a working parent. “I can’t ask my instructors to work 13 hour days for you” and “you can’t expect to have it all on your terms” are a couple of direct quotes. I even told her I felt she was being aggressive at one point and she apologised then just carried on. I thought I was enquiring, not demanding. Also… you’d sort of expect it to be a bit on your terms as you’re paying about two grand for it. If you can’t help, absolutely fine. No problem. But say it politely and without being condescending like the others did?? Why behave in such a strange way?! Woman told me nowhere else would be able to help me and said “at least you know how it is now”. I honestly struggled to get her and her patronising righteousnesses off the phone long after it became apparent they couldn’t help me. I mean they tried to call me again today so maybe they could have helped me after all, but I don’t care how good the instructor is if that’s the initial impression I’ve got. I found somewhere else to pay £2,000 to fairly swiftly as these guys clearly didn’t want my money ♀️ Honestly I would have fired this woman long ago if she worked for me. Just because you can’t drive, does not mean you’re stupid and will take being patronised. So goodbye, 5 stars. You can’t have it all on your terms
Dear Honest to Cloth,
First of all we are sorry that you feel you had to write this review. Pro-Driver Training and its team try to help and be kind and courteous at all times. Unfortunately we weren’t informed of your review and this is why it’s only just been noticed. So I apologise for the late response.
As you can imagine we take many calls relating to evening and weekend lessons, these are the most popular times. At the moment and due to the backlog caused by the pandemic, we are currently experiencing the highest volume of new students ever.
This is probably the reason we would try to explain ourselves, as it’s very frustrating to disappoint a client. I appreciate that calling us, you would have had high expectations of what we can offer and the disappointment would have been immense on hearing that we couldn’t help.
Again I apologise for anything said that could have caused you to write this review.
Kind regards
Pro-Driver Training
