iTRAIN Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I'm an American, living in London, with NO experience driving in the UK. I flew to Inverness just for an available test appointment and Jeff got me from complete novice to Test Ready in only TWO LESSONS. He's a kind, calm, positive, clear, knowledgable, practical and incredibly patient instructor. He took me on my first roundabout on day 1 and I felt secure navigating Inverness's tricky roundabouts by my test on day 3. He pointed out my weaknesses without making me feel incapable, and he highlighted the key techniques I would need to master. He even attended a lesson when he was feeling quite under the weather because he said, "I don't let people down." 10/10 would recommend working with Jeff for anyone, especially expats. Thanks Jeff! x

Well done Heather, you were amazing too
Fantastic experience: Very grateful to Jeff for helping me pass my test last week. The calm environment Jeff provides was exactly what I needed as a more anxious driver. Every lesson was well thought out and at the right level for me, while also not being afraid to push my abilities. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a patient, calm and incredibly punctual driving instructor whos great to chat to. Thank you again, Jeff!
You’re a star Charlie..enjoy choosing your Fiesta
Fantastic experience: Jeff is an excellent instructor. He really helped make the difference between passing and failing
Cheers Jake
Fantastic experience: I moved to Jeff after a troublesome time and poor direction from a previous instructor. My test was booked and was a week away. Jeff gave me the direction and safety requirements to become a safe driver. He did this in two lessons, I absolutely wouldn't have passed without him. My sister is turning 17 in January, we'll be making sure Jeff is free again !
You’re a star Holly
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Jeff has been amazing, he is so patient, knowledgeable and reassuring which gave me the confidence to pass 1st time. I would highly recommend iTrain to anyone looking to learn. Jeff has been understanding, flexible and the best instructor I could have hoped for. Thanks for the final preparation and putting me at ease on test day.
I always say it’s teamwork with whoever I coach. Thanks for the kind words…you played your part
Fantastic experience: Jeff was extremely patient, easy going and encouraging when teaching our 17 year old daughter to drive. She spoke very highly of him throughout learning and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn. Thanks again for all your help.
Thanks Dave, really appreciate the feedback
Fantastic experience: I would 100% recommend driving instructor Jeff! Jeff is so calm, easy going, relaxed and really patient. I did an intensive course with Jeff as I had a personal time frame that I ideally liked to pass before. We achieved it, first time pass!! Couldn’t have done it without you! A huge thanks to Jeff!
Ah Tahlia you were amazing too. As I told you before the test, your attitude is fantastic and I think that’s what carried you through…don’t change it
Fantastic experience: Began lessons with Jeff when I turned 17 and he did a brilliant job of teaching me everything I needed to know and helped me to pass my test, would definitely recommend him to anyone wishing to learn.
Thanks very much Josh and best of luck in the future
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with Jeff! I've had many years behind the wheel overseas which meant tons of bad habits to get rid off. Very patient and gives good advice on driving in the UK. Very well versed on roads in and around Inverness and knows exactly what needs to be worked on. Approachable and easy to chat with. Thanks again for the first time pass!
Perfect Peter, excellent driver now and thoroughly nice guy
Fantastic experience: I was an international driver and needed to get a full UK drivers licence. I met Jeff at this point and I had several practical lessons with him. He easily spotted all the bad habits I had and helped me get rid of them and ready for the test. He is an experienced instructor with great observation and teaching skills. He does not only direct you on how to act but makes you think on the actions, which is in fact effective learning. You will never regret a second you are next to him and will improve your driving skills with ease!
Thanks very much for your kind words. Much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Jeff was an excellent teacher throughout every lesson. Would highly recommend anyone looking to pass their driving test.
Cheers Danny…well done
Fantastic experience: Just want to say a big thanks to Jeff for helping my son pass his test.. He polished off my son's driving abilities in a short spell of lessons, charming approachable and easy going instructor. I would recommend Jeff to anyone. A HUGE THANKS
Thanks Fiona, appreciate your kind words
Fantastic experience: I completed my L- test with Jeff and 10years later completed my instructor training with him too! Amazing instructor (and Father), I can't thank him enough for all his help. I completed part 1,2 &3 with Jeff...I was on a supervisory pink license with him and his feedback was invaluable. He is very patient, kind and explained things clearly to me. Would highly recommend him. Many thanks, Steph
Steph you did amazing as a PDI and kept on trying until you made the breakthrough. You have developed into a very good driving instructor and will further improve over time. Enjoy teaching !!
Fantastic experience: With just 3 intensive lessons with Jeff he got me to test standard and I passed with 2 minors. Best instructor you will find in the highland region.
Thanks Tommy, excellent performance today
Fantastic experience: I passed my practical driving test 1st time with itrain driving school, my instructor Jeff was patient and very helpful with any questions or problems I had! Couldn’t have done it without him!
You’re a star
Fantastic experience: Jeff has been an amazing instructor for myself. After getting panic attacks behind the wheel in the past I never thought I would be able to not only take another driving test, but past my driving test. Really has been an inspiration for me to get comfortable behind the wheel. For anyone who has fears of driving, Jeff is the best instructor around the Inverness area for you.
Thanks Kyle, good team brings it’s success
Fantastic experience: Jeff was an incredible driving instructor, from someone who used to hate the thought of driving jeff made me more than confident in driving, a really top driving instructor with a lot of patience and is exactly what you need when learning to drive, couldn’t recommend him enough

Thanks Ellen, you were amazing too. Good luck with the birth and all that brings
Fantastic experience: Jeff managed to accommodate lessons at short notice ahead of test that was booked to give Joshua experience, advise and guidance on unfamiliar roads to Joshua. This was a great support and no doubt contributed to a pass. Thank you.
