Checkmate Driver Training - Manual and Automatic

Fantastic experience: Martin has been an excellent instructor, stepping in to help our daughter out after a bad experience at the last minute and did everything he could to get her ready for her test which she passed first time with no minors would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Amazing people, they are all so lovely and will work with you as an individual to ensure you get personalised training no matter the skill level. I had Martin and honestly couldn't have asked for a better teacher, he asked how I learnt best and help build a plan and lessons around my schedule and progressed at a comfortable pace. Will definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn comfortably and at a pace they find best. I would give extra stars if I could honestly but I don't think there's a number high enough that I would be happy with. Thank you Martin and Lucas and everyone else in the growing team! You've been amazing!

Fantastic experience: martin is an excellent driving instructor who helped me to regain my confidence and keep me calm when driving, after struggling with a lot of nerves. I Couldn’t thank him enough for the time and effort he put into teaching me how to drive and for explaining things when I was confused. Not only did he ensure that I was test ready, but he taught me practical driving skills that i’ll continue to use, now that I have passed my test. Really recommend him and checkmate driving school to anyone seeking driving lessons!!!!

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Checkmate Driver Training enough, especially Martin. He’s very patient and makes sure you feel 100% confident with everything. After feeling slightly disheartened about driving with a previous instructor, when i started having lessons with Martin my confidence with driving improved so much and I now love driving! Thank you for everything, I couldn’t have done it without you!

Fantastic experience: Passed within 6 months having never driven a car before with Martin Giblin he is absolutely amazing and so much more than just a driving instructor, I had a problem with my new car and he even came over in his own time to help me solve the issue , if you are looking for a driving instructor go with Martin you will not regret it especially if you want to passed fast without being messed around ,could not recommend him enough so if you are looking for a decent instructor, Martin is the one

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t thank checkmate driving enough for everything they’ve done for me, especially Martin, I was extremely nervous and had no idea how to drive a car before starting lessons, 7 months and I passed first time with 2 minors! Martin is such a patient and understanding guy and made me feel comfortable every lesson, genuinely cannot recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Helped me throughout the lessons I had really well and passed with ease

Fantastic experience: My experience has been incredible, Martin as my instructor was fantastic and was a pleasure to be next to through my journey, I recommend Martin to any new driver that’s trying to learn efficiently and effectively, thank you again to all your hard work and time.

Fantastic experience: I had no confidence before starting with Martin, but he quickly rebuilt that. He explains everything so well. He's so calm and patient. I would recommend him to everyone wanting to learn to drive. I just wish I had found him sooner. I couldn't have passed without him ❤️

Fantastic experience: Got me a first time pass with 2 minors, brilliant instructor, wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

Fantastic experience: Martin was brilliant, very helpful and full of knowledge. i never once felt on edge during my lessons like i have with past instructors. top top bloke

Fantastic experience: Sent an enquiry to Checkmate for an automatic driving instructor around Christmas but didn’t expect to get a response until the new year but Scott responded almost immediately and Gulhan got in contact with me. Started my lessons with Gulhan and it was wonderful, learnt everything I needed. She was so patient, understanding and made me feel so relaxed. Took me around all routes and helped me become a safe driver. My learning experience with Gulhan was absolutely wonderful and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn to drive both Automatic and Manual cars. Passed my test!!! Checkmate driving school gets a 10 star from me!!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant teacher would highly recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Martin has helped me to regain my confidence when driving. Any mistakes I made were explained in a kind and professional manner .safe driving being the utmost consideration . My apprehension about the Drivers Assessment proved unfounded with Martins guidance. I would recommend driving tuition from Martin in any respect, but as a newly diagnosed disabled person I can’t praise him enough.

Fantastic experience: Made me feel confident in driving! Passed 1st time with Martins help. Thank you to Martin and Checkmate Driver Training

Fantastic experience: Great teaching, I had such a good experience learning to drive with all the patience and the help that is provided by the instructors.

Fantastic experience: I was with Martin as my instructor and he helped me get great at driving above test standards and helped me pass first time, it was an incredible moment and I can’t thank him enough.

Fantastic experience: Honestly couldn’t recommend this company enough, I had Martin Giblin as my instructor who goes above and beyond for all his students, being supportive on not only a driving instructor level but a personal level too he will meet any and all need for a pupil. He is the best instructor Iv ever had and if your looking for lessons he’s your man for the job.

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor especially with my sons disabilities can’t thank you enough even my son said to me today mum I couldn’t have done it with another instructor Martin is perfect x
