Evolution Driver Training: Reviews

Fantastic experience: Over the past few months, my son, Angus, has had a great experience getting driving lessons from Alan. He was very professional but also easy going which helped Angus’ confidence. His test was due in January but was cancelled due to the snow but Alan did not try to push extra lessons on him saying he was ready. But we arranged a couple of extra lessons nearer the test date (3 months later, not Alan’s fault, just long delays for getting test dates), as Alan is so good. We would definitely recommend Alan.

Negative experience: Driving with Alan has been among the worst string of experiences in my adult life. Over two years I have taken over 125 hours in lessons and he has managed to: Drag out lessons wherever possible, refusing to cover specific areas after request; Spend large majorities of our scheduled time either stopping to talk about his personal life or to use his phone; Consistently show up at least 8-10 minutes late despite me travelling into a central area to accommodate his travel needs and regularly stopped at my house 8-10 minutes early under the guise of using that time to cover what happened on the lesson that only really used even half the 10 minutes a handful of times. His constant lack of professionalism is grating, regularly using abusive or harsh comments rather than constructive criticism, and using language as to invoke stress to ensure driving is as hard as can be. The environment he creates is intentional as to damage confidence, mental health and impact driving capabilities as to get more hours booked. His quick pass guarantees are intentionally worded as to scam unsuspecting customers as he regularly sees multiple week long holidays as to interrupt the weekly lessons required in the guarantees. If all this were not enough I regularly felt that driving with Alan was unsafe as he regularly without cause will reach over and grab the steering wheel, get distracted and check his phone while I am driving or reach out of the car to wave at people he recognises. I strongly advise that all new drivers AVOID AT ALL COSTS. May be worth your while as an experienced driver for a single lesson but he will do his best to trap particularly younger or vulnerable people into a never ending whirlpool of rebookings. Even after the countless hours with Alan I failed my tests based on things that were not taught to me catching me by surprise. Within two lessons of a different instructor I am able to drive to the best of my ability and am incredibly confident for my upcoming test.

Hi Caelum,
I'm sorry that your frustration at the lack of test availability along with my availability, has led you to feel that you need to leave these kind of reviews on several platforms. None of these issues have been raised with me, and I won't go into debate on each individual point, but this review is not true or factual at all. Please see below my response to your complaint that was made on Monday 6th January.
"Hi Caelum
Thank you for your messages last week, and I'm sorry that you're feeling let down.
From your messages the main concern seems to be my ability to be available when you are getting last minute tests using an app. Although at 3 weeks notice each, I do understand this is usually a timescale that we can find a way to accommodate. Unfortunately both your options have coincided with other bookings or holidays. The odds of which are quite low, and an unfortunate set of circumstances.
I'd also like to address, that you are not currently a pupil, and I feel no need to go the extra mile and postpone or cancel other appointments to accommodate your next test, as since you failed your test on 27th Nov, you haven't made any contact to arrange lessons as advised at the time, and also advised again on 30th Dec.
You used the phrase "remedial test" in a message, and I'd like to cover that with the statement below.
Driving tests aren't the time to fix faults, that's for lessons, driving tests are for demonstrating that you have reached the standard required.
The lack of driving tests being available in general for you to sit a second test, should be raised with the DVSA, who solely conduct and manage driving tests in the UK.
I can't offer any refunds on lessons taken, as at no point have you ever raised any concerns about lesson quality, but only availability now that you aren't actively taking lessons.
I hope this reply helps clear the matter up, but if you have any further comments, please feel free to get in touch.

Fantastic experience: Alan is a truly fantastic instructor. As a mature learner, I did worry about initially getting lessons- he put my mind at ease straight away and made the whole experience a truly enjoyable one from my first lesson, to passing my test. Alan was always patient, very knowledgeable and incredibly thorough. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: I just passed my test with Alan helps as my instructor. He is very helpful, calm, patient and professional as an instructor. He took me through every single thing I need to know and patiently help me improve my skills. I got a lot more coincidence driving around the complication of road network in Aberdeen city before and after passed the test. Thanks again for your help and support Alan. Definitely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Fantastic experience: Guys, I met Alan on a Monday morning and by Friday afternoon of the same week I passed my driving test. Alan took me through my driving lessons and taught me everything I needed to know to the smallest details. Alan is no doubt a very good coach, he was very calm and highly professional. I gladly recommend him to everyone. Cheers Alan. Rotimi

Fantastic experience: Alan was a very good driving instructor, helping me to pass my test first time with 0 minors. His teaching was both easy to understand and thorough. He made me confident to drive independently and showed me how to enjoy my driving we well. Highly recommended for any new learners

Steven Haldane 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Alan is a fantastic driving instructor, right from the word go he made me feel at ease and when I made some mistakes he would know exactly how to help me deal with them and how not to repeat them which in the end, helped me pass my test 1st time! He was always available when I needed, really quick and easy to communicate with which made the whole process so smooth. I never thought I'd actually enjoy learning to drive but I did, that is all down to Alan and I'm forever grateful! I would whole heartedly recommend Alan for anyone wanting to learn or improve their driving.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Alan as a driving instructor. My daughter really enjoyed learning with him and learnt a lot, passing her driving test with 0 faults! My step daughter is now getting lessons with Alan and is learning very quickly. Booking and paying was very straightforward online and it was also easy to communicate directly with Alan if any changes were needed.

Fantastic experience: Alan is a very patient, relaxed and dedicated teacher. He taught me much more than just what I needed to know for the test, plus I know everything he has taught will stick as he reiterates it all in thorough detail. Under Alans tutelage, not only did I pass first time, but I have been shown how to feel confident and safe behind the wheel. Fantastic driving instructor, would highly recommend to everyone. 5 stars

Negative experience: I am very disappointed because the evolution driver training is cheated with me . I took about 20 lesson with mr allan rosse and my test date is 23rd September monday . But allan rosse told me 21st September Saturday he can't attend my test on Monday 23rd September. He cheated with me. he is not good person in my opinion. So careful all learners.

Rakib,
I'm sorry you feel you have been treated unfairly, and the notice given was less than ideal, but we did try to avoid this situation and was in constant communication with you. However, the situation was, that you failed to be available on the day that you had a lesson booked, the notice given to us was only 2hrs, which meant that the lesson was still due for payment, as per our terms of business, this you agreed to and assured us payment would be made, giving us details to send the invoice to. You then proceeded to cancel a further 10-12 hrs worth of lessons which were already booked (in fact every lesson up until your test). Despite repeated reminders to pay for the missed lesson in the weeks leading to your test, and promises of payment, the payment wasn't made by close of business on Friday, and hence you were informed on Saturday morning that we wouldn't be making ourselves available on Monday.
Again we're very sorry that this has occurred.
