We are sorry to hear that your daughter was unhappy with her experience.

At the time the course was discontinued, the office had not been made aware of any concerns regarding the instructor or the lessons being delivered. We only became aware of these allegations after the course had been stopped and the formal complaint was received.

The instructor involved is highly experienced and has worked with many pupils over a number of years. Based on the information currently available to us, we do not believe there was any intention to act unprofessionally. However, we take all complaints seriously and are carrying out a full review of the circumstances, including speaking with all parties involved.

As this matter is currently under investigation, it would not be appropriate for us to comment further on the specific allegations in a public forum. We will contact you directly once our review has been completed.

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.

Tim was an amazing driving instructor

Tim was an amazing driving instructor. As an anxious person he made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. This made me really enjoy driving and feel confident in my ability to do my test and helped me pass first time. I would highly recommend him.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review.

Congratulations on passing your driving test first time — a fantastic achievement and one you should be incredibly proud of.

We are delighted to hear that Tim was able to help make your learning experience such a positive one. We know that learning to drive can feel particularly daunting when you're naturally anxious, so it is great to hear that Tim's calm, patient and supportive approach helped you feel comfortable behind the wheel. Building confidence is such an important part of learning to drive, and it's fantastic that he was able to help you relax, enjoy your lessons and develop the skills needed to pass your test successfully.

At Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses, we believe that every pupil learns differently, and instructors like Tim work hard to adapt their coaching style to suit each individual's needs. Your comments about feeling relaxed, confident and supported perfectly reflect the kind of learning experience we aim to provide.

Thank you again for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. We will be sure to pass your comments on to Tim, who will be thrilled to hear how much his support meant to you.

We wish you many years of safe, confident and enjoyable driving ahead.

Best wishes,

Bristol and bath intensive course as a…

Bristol and bath intensive course as a whole was ok. Booking my course was easy but if you had any queries or questions they were fairly slow at replying via email and if you tried to phone them you could never get through. I tried to communicate with them via the online chat on their website and they always replied within minutes. My instructor I was allocated, Kerry Trotman, has been amazing from the first day I started. She is very friendly, approachable and funny and immediately made me feel at ease. This made me feel more relaxed and comfortable which helped me a lot. She has provided me with good ways to remember the different manuvers and sent me videos of these so I can watch them at home to remember. Kerry has made me confident in learning to drive and she is happy to answer any questions I have and to calm me when she has noticed me feeling nervous. I think Kerry has provided me with a high and outstanding service throughout my course. She is hardworking and dedicated to helping the people she teaches and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a driving instructor. My 5 star rating is for my instructor. I'd give 2 for the booking course its self, trying to communicate is very difficult and trying to get a response.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review.

Firstly, we are delighted to hear about your positive experience with Kerry. We will make sure your comments are passed on to her, as we know she will be extremely pleased to hear how much her support, guidance and encouragement have helped you throughout your course.

Learning to drive can be a daunting experience, particularly in the early stages, so it is fantastic to hear that Kerry was able to help you feel relaxed, comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Her friendly and approachable manner, combined with her commitment to helping pupils understand and remember key skills and manoeuvres, is exactly the type of service we aim to provide. We are particularly pleased that the additional resources, videos and explanations helped reinforce your learning outside of lessons and contributed to building your confidence.

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding communication from our office. While we are pleased that our live chat service was able to provide prompt responses, we fully acknowledge that our email and telephone response times have not always been where we would like them to be. Over recent months we have been working hard to improve our systems, staffing and communication processes to ensure customers can reach us more easily and receive quicker updates when they need assistance.

Thank you for recognising both the positives and the areas where we can improve. Honest feedback like yours helps us continue developing our service and provides valuable insight for future pupils considering an intensive driving course.

We are grateful that you chose Bristol and Bath Intensive Courses and are especially pleased that Kerry was able to make such a positive impact on your learning journey. We wish you every success with your driving going forward and thank you again for your recommendation.

Kind regards,
Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses

The 5 stars I have awarded are…

The 5 stars I have awarded are specifically for the instructor Timothy Fletcher. I have had 4 different instructors in my journey to learn and he is by far the best. He is assertive and strict whilst being clear, calm and polite. Ultimately tho Tims encouragement and positivity are what he is all about. I felt like he was 100% in my corner and attribute my pass largely to his expertise and friendly encouragement. I'd recommend him anytime and have already linked him up with a friend who wants to learn.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review.

Firstly, congratulations on passing your driving test! We know just how much hard work, commitment and determination goes into learning to drive, and reaching that final goal is a fantastic achievement that nobody can ever take away from you.

We’re especially pleased to hear your comments about Timothy Fletcher. Tim is a highly respected member of our instructor team, and your description of him perfectly captures the qualities that make him such an effective driving instructor. Learning to drive isn’t just about understanding the controls of a vehicle or memorising road signs—it’s about developing confidence, good judgement, safe habits and belief in your own ability. Having an instructor who can guide that process in the right way makes a huge difference.

As you mentioned, Tim has a great ability to strike the balance between being firm and maintaining high standards whilst also remaining calm, patient and approachable. The best instructors understand when to challenge a pupil and when to encourage them, and Tim consistently demonstrates that skill. His goal is always to help learners become safe, confident and independent drivers rather than simply teaching them how to pass a test.

What stands out most from your review is your comment that you felt he was “100% in your corner.” We believe that is one of the most important qualities any driving instructor can have. Learning to drive can be stressful at times and there will inevitably be moments where learners doubt themselves. Having someone beside you who genuinely believes in your ability and supports your progress can make all the difference.

It’s also incredibly rewarding to hear that, having experienced several instructors during your learning journey, Tim stood out so positively. Feedback like this reinforces the value of having instructors who not only possess excellent technical knowledge but who also genuinely care about the success of their pupils.

The fact that you’ve already recommended Tim to a friend is perhaps the greatest compliment an instructor can receive. Personal recommendations are built on trust, and we’re grateful both for your confidence in Tim and for taking the time to share your experience publicly.

Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses. We will make sure Tim sees your review, as we know it will mean a great deal to him.

We wish you many years of safe, enjoyable and confident driving ahead. Enjoy the freedom that comes with having your licence, and thank you once again for your recommendation and support.

Best wishes,

The Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses Team

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We really appreciate your honest feedback and we are absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Kerry.

Kerry is a fantastic instructor and reviews like this truly mean a lot. Her calm, patient and supportive approach is exactly what we aim to provide for every pupil, so it’s wonderful to hear that she helped you feel comfortable, relaxed and confident throughout your lessons. Learning to drive can be a very nerve-racking experience for many people, so knowing that you never felt on edge and always felt supported is brilliant feedback for both Kerry and our team.

We also really appreciate your honesty regarding the waiting time before starting your course. We completely understand that waiting can sometimes feel frustrating, especially with the ongoing nationwide instructor and driving test availability challenges we’ve faced across the UK over the last couple of years. While availability can occasionally impact start times, we are constantly working hard behind the scenes to improve scheduling, recruit more quality instructors and reduce delays wherever possible.

Most importantly though — congratulations on passing and gaining your licence! That is the part that truly matters and we’re so pleased we could help you reach that milestone. Passing your driving test is such a huge achievement and opens up so much freedom and independence moving forward.

Thank you again for your kind words, recommendation and support.

We will make sure Kerry sees your review as we know it will mean a great deal to her personally. We wish you many years of safe, happy and confident driving ahead and thank you once again for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses.

Thank you so much for your amazing review!

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with Alan and that you passed first time — huge congratulations from all of us at Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses! 🚗🎉

Alan consistently receives fantastic feedback for his calm, patient and supportive teaching style, and it’s brilliant to hear that he helped you feel comfortable and confident throughout your course. Intensive courses can feel quite full-on at times, so having an instructor who is patient, encouraging and able to adapt the training to the individual pupil really does make all the difference. We’ll make sure your kind comments are passed directly on to him, as feedback like this genuinely means a lot to our instructors.

Passing first time is a fantastic achievement and is always the result of a combination of hard work, commitment and good teamwork between pupil and instructor. Alan will no doubt be really proud of what you achieved during the course.

Thank you as well for taking the time to leave such a positive review and recommendation. Word of mouth and honest feedback are incredibly important to a small independent business like ours, and reviews like this really help reassure future pupils who may be nervous about learning to drive or considering an intensive course for the first time.

We hope you enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with passing your test, and we wish you many years of safe and confident driving ahead.

Congratulations again and thank you for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses! 🚘

10/10 would definitely recommend

My Instuctor Alan was unbelievably helpful. Thanks to the availability of the course and Alan’s helpful teaching I was able to pass just 6 weeks after turning 17. The course itself was very well organised and covered everything needed for the test and driving independently after. 100% would recommend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. We genuinely appreciate your kind words and are absolutely delighted to hear about your experience with Alan and the course overall.

Firstly, huge congratulations on passing your driving test — and doing so just 6 weeks after turning 17 is an incredible achievement. That’s a massive milestone and something you should be really proud of. Passing so quickly takes a combination of commitment from the pupil, quality instruction, and a structured course plan, so it’s brilliant to hear everything came together so successfully for you.

Alan will be especially pleased to read your feedback. He is a highly valued member of our team and consistently goes above and beyond to support pupils not only with the technical side of driving, but also with building confidence, staying calm under pressure, and helping learners feel comfortable behind the wheel. Comments like yours are exactly why instructors like Alan are such an important part of what we do.

We’re also really pleased to hear that you found the course well organised and useful not only for passing the test itself, but for driving independently afterwards. One of our main goals is to help pupils become safe, confident drivers for life — not just prepare them to pass an exam. Intensive courses can be challenging and fast-paced, so ensuring lessons are structured properly and tailored to the individual pupil is incredibly important to us.

It’s especially rewarding to hear that the availability of the course helped you get on the road quickly after turning 17. We know how exciting and important that stage is, whether it’s for independence, work, college, or simply the freedom that comes with driving, so hearing that we helped make that happen for you means a great deal.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses. We truly appreciate your support and wish you many years of safe, enjoyable driving ahead.

Congratulations once again from all the team — and especially Alan! 🚗🎉

Alan was really wonderful

Alan was really wonderful. He built up my confidence nicely early in the week and continued to offer calm and concise advice when I could drive a little more independently as the course went on.

The booking process could use some refinement and communication in advance of the course was sparse. I was panicking the night before starting as I had no confirmed timetable, but I lucked out having Alan assigned as my instructor and I thoroughly appreciate him stepping in last minute to get me test ready.

Would recommend Alan to anyone.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and balanced review.

We are genuinely delighted to hear how positive your experience was with Alan. He is an incredibly calm, patient and dedicated instructor, and it is fantastic to hear that he was able to build your confidence gradually throughout the week whilst adapting his teaching style as you became more independent behind the wheel. Helping pupils go from nervous beginnings to feeling capable and test-ready is exactly what intensive courses are supposed to achieve, so your comments will mean a great deal to him personally.

We also really appreciate your honesty regarding the booking process and communication leading up to the course. We completely understand how stressful it must have felt not having a confirmed timetable until close to the start date, particularly when beginning an intensive course can already feel quite daunting. Although we are pleased we were able to step in and ensure Alan got everything organised and delivered successfully, we absolutely recognise that the lead-up experience should have been smoother and more reassuring for you.

Over the last year we have been making significant improvements to our systems, instructor allocation processes and customer communication procedures specifically to reduce situations like this. Intensive driving courses involve a large amount of coordination between instructors, test availability, pupil schedules and last-minute DVSA changes, but that does not change the importance of keeping customers informed properly throughout the process. Reviews like yours are genuinely valuable because they help highlight where improvements are still needed.

What we are especially pleased about is that, despite the stressful start, Alan was able to turn the experience around for you and help you feel supported, calm and prepared by the end of the course. That says a lot about his professionalism and commitment to his pupils. We are very lucky to have him on the team.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for recognising Alan’s efforts. We will make sure your feedback is passed directly on to him, and we wish you all the very best with your driving going forward and many years of safe and confident driving ahead.

Paid in December for a crash course

Paid in December for a crash course. They cancelled the first course due to unforeseen circumstances, okay things happen, rebooked. They then cancelled 1 day prior to the second course saying the driving instructor couldn't do those dates now. Me and my partner both lost annual leave due to this but we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. They then rebooked me another date with the promise of extra help and that My theory would be done. They then have just left me dry no contact. Again me and my partner have had to take annual leave and unpaid leave. Even the woman on the chat has said it's not acceptable but it's like talking to a wall trying to get any sort of real answers.

Avoid if you don't want to waste your time and money.

Tim really is a fantastic instructor and reviews like this perfectly reflect the kind of support, patience and encouragement he gives to his pupils. Learning to drive can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for many people, especially when trying to do it in a shorter time frame, so hearing that you felt comfortable, supported and able to progress so quickly is brilliant feedback.

Passing within just 3 weeks is an incredible achievement and that comes down not only to Tim’s guidance and teaching style, but also to the hard work and commitment you clearly put in yourself throughout the process. Intensive courses can be demanding, but when the right instructor and pupil come together with the right attitude and structure, they can work extremely well — and it sounds like that was exactly the case here.

We’ll make sure your comments are passed directly on to Tim because instructors genuinely appreciate hearing when they’ve made a positive difference to someone’s confidence and success. It’s easy for instructors to only hear from pupils when something goes wrong, so positive reviews like this really do matter and help recognise the effort they put into supporting learners every day.

Thank you as well for recommending us. Word of mouth and genuine customer feedback are incredibly important to a local business like ours and we truly appreciate it.

We wish you all the very best with your driving going forward and hope you enjoy the freedom and independence that comes with passing your test. Stay safe on the roads and enjoy every moment of it!

Congratulations again and thank you for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses.

Hi Dan,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. We really do appreciate it, and it’s brilliant to hear that you had such a positive experience with Alan throughout your course and training.

Alan will be genuinely pleased to read your comments. He works incredibly hard to make sure pupils feel comfortable, supported, and confident behind the wheel from day one, so hearing that he helped you build the confidence to pass first time means a lot. One of the biggest parts of learning to drive is not just developing the practical skills, but also overcoming nerves and believing in yourself, and it sounds like Alan was able to help you achieve both.

Passing first time is a huge achievement and something you should be really proud of. We know how much time, effort, concentration, and commitment goes into preparing for a driving test, especially on an intensive course, so it’s always rewarding to see that hard work pay off with a successful result.

We’ll make sure your feedback is passed directly on to Alan because positive comments like this really do mean a great deal to our instructors. They put a lot of energy into tailoring lessons to each individual pupil, keeping lessons calm and encouraging, and helping people progress as quickly and safely as possible. It’s lovely to hear that Alan created exactly that kind of environment for you.

Thank you again for choosing Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses and for trusting us with your driving journey. We’re delighted we could help you reach this milestone and we wish you all the very best for the future, whether that’s driving independently for work, university, travelling, or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with having your licence.

Drive safely, enjoy your independence, and congratulations once again on passing first time!

Best wishes,

TERRIBLE AVOID

It is difficult to put into words how bad this company is. PLEASE do not trust them with your booking or your money. I prebooked a week of intensive lessons, paid on booking, was promised an instructor. As time went on it became clear that the company had taken my money (over £1000!) and there was no instructor available! As soon as this was apparent, I requested a refund so that I could book alternate lessons. Subsequently, an email chain of over 20 messages, in which I am promised a refund time again - which still has NOT arrived.

The company are now ignoring my emails and phone calls.

If I could give 0 stars I would

Edit after their response: still unhappy, they sent me a draft email they said they would send to instructors. No proof they sent it to them. And told them not to be racist in front of customers, not asking them not to be racist. Told me my review would harm their instructors who are people of colour and to take it down while they dealt with my complaint, working with a racist will harm them, and once I took it down they ignored me again. They have been ignoring my messages asking for a refund based on not giving me the service I paid for. Don't ever waste your time or money. Fed up of the incompetence

Do not book with this disgusting company. I have been forced to report them and my instructor to the DVSA for inadequate service and extreme racist political views. They are incapable of running a business. I booked my course 2 months in advance. They didn't confirm anything about it until 9pm the night before despite repeated emails requesting information. They did not turn up for my lessons one day of my intensive course, despite my instructor telling me the manager would come instead. This wasted a day of annual leave I had booked for the course. There was no attempt from them to reorganise the hours they didn't provide and I had to email more than 10 times to get this sorted. My instructor promised free hours to make up for this- something that never materialised. Four months after my course after endless emails I finally had those 4 hours I had missed. This meant all my confidence in driving was gone. They didn't sort my theory test out without prompting multiple times. And I have an email thread of 18 emails where I have requested them to sort my practical test, something they said they would do, but eventually have come out and said no they can't. What on earth have I been paying them for???? I asked multiple times and was promised a reply the next day, something that has never happend. They now blame the DVSA and say they can't book tests. They said they would refund me the £62 test fee two weeks ago, this has never materialised despite the manager promising me he would look at that. I have had multiple emails and calls with the manager who has done nothing with my complaints. He says he will call and then never does,he promised me a call Monday evening, then text that actually he was busy.
My next issue is my instructor. I was able to drive after this course, but my knowledge of maneuvers was non existent as he did not teach me this properly, we drove on straight roads and only learnt reverse into a bay. This has absolutely not prepared me for my test, which is what this intensive course is supposed to do. I have had to have multiple other private lessons. My instructor told me he was available for lessons but does not respond to messages. My biggest issue with this company though is that my instructor voiced some very extreme political views that made me feel very uncomfortable. He suggested all deliveroo drivers are brown and so should be knocked off their motorbikes, said "those people should be taken out the gene pool" and multiple times expressed a hatred and wish for injury to cyclists. This is completely inappropriate and I felt very uncomfortable. If you are a person of colour AVOID this company. He also was on his phone whilst I was driving, something that instructors cannot do. This was during a road rage incident where he asked me to chase down cyclists and taxis who had gone past us so he could photograph them.
Overall this company should not be used. They cannot organise a business and protect a racist. Do not give them your money!!!!!!!!!!! You won't get it back even with a serious complaint and promise of a refund.
I have reported them and my instructor to the DVSA

I had done the 5 day intensive course

I had done the 5 day intensive course, I’m on my first as I’m writing this, I find it very beneficial already, I think my instructor explains things really well and helps me when I am struggling, would 100% recommend for anyone wanting to start driving or wanting to get straight to the test!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this—especially while you’re still on your course!

It’s great to hear that you’re already finding the 5-day intensive beneficial so early on. That’s exactly what we aim for—building confidence and understanding right from the start, so you can make the most of every hour behind the wheel. Intensive courses can feel like a big step, so it’s really encouraging to know you’re settling into it well and seeing progress straight away.

We’re particularly pleased to hear your instructor is explaining things clearly and supporting you when you need it. That balance—guidance, patience, and adapting to how each pupil learns—is what makes such a difference, especially on an intensive course where everything moves at a faster pace. Feeling supported when you’re struggling is key to building real confidence, not just for the test, but for driving independently afterwards too.

It’s also great that you’d recommend this approach to others who are either starting out or looking to progress more quickly. That consistent, focused time in the car really helps develop skills in a way that weekly lessons sometimes can’t match.

Keep up the great work for the rest of your course—we’ll be rooting for you all the way through to your test. If there’s anything you need as you continue, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Wishing you the very best of luck! 🚗

100% recommend doing an intensive

I would absolutely recommend taking an intensive driving course! My instructor Abdulrashid, was incredibly helpful and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. I didn’t expect to feel so confident on the road after just a week but that is entirely down to having a skilled and patient instructor who believed in my ability.

Spending consistent time together over a week made a huge difference. It meant lessons could be easily adapted, and we were able to revisit anything I needed more practice on without any pressure.

Although I still have a few hours left after the initial week, I actually see that as a big advantage. I can use them closer to my test to go over anything again. Giving me a lot of reassurance and confidence going forward.

I highly recommend this approach if you want to learn quickly while still building safe and solid driving skills.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review — it really does mean a lot to us.

We’re especially pleased to hear how positive your experience was with Abdulrashid. He’s a fantastic instructor who consistently goes above and beyond to support his pupils, and your comments about his patience, clarity, and belief in your ability reflect exactly the standard we aim to deliver across all of our courses.

It’s great to hear how much your confidence has grown in such a short space of time. That’s one of the key benefits of an intensive course — the continuity and consistency allow both you and your instructor to build real momentum. Being able to adapt lessons in real-time and revisit areas without long gaps in between is exactly what helps accelerate progress while still keeping everything safe, structured, and thorough.

You’ve also highlighted something really important that often gets overlooked — having a few hours remaining after the main week can be a huge advantage. Using those sessions closer to your test is a smart approach, as it allows you to fine-tune your skills, reinforce key areas, and go into your test feeling calm, prepared, and confident.

Thank you again for your recommendation. We’re really glad the course has worked so well for you, and we’ll be here to support you through those final hours and all the way to your test.

Wishing you the very best of luck — although with this level of preparation, you’re putting yourself in a great position to succeed! 🚗💨

I paid £1500 for a course in March 16th and he didn’t turn up. I contacted the company and they said they had no records of this booking because they must have removed accidentally. I am still awaiting a weekend 6 weeks on, and they know mine and my partners baby is due any minute - money I could very much do with.

Thank you for taking the time to review. We are disappointed in your experience and will learn from this issue.
It appears after you initially requested that your course date be changed your booking was lost on the transference to our new CRM system.
This is our mistake and should not have impacted your course.
As agreed your refund has been arranged and will credit you shortly.
Due to the issues experienced we acknowledge this has taken far longer than we would have expected falling below our core service values.
We have already offered you a £50 Amazon voucher as a sign of goodwill and would encourage you to reach out if we can help beyond this.

Honest company who care about pupils

I’ve spent time around the team and seen how things work behind the scenes. There’s a real focus on helping pupils get through their course and pass, and a lot more goes into it than people probably realise.

The instructors are supportive and genuinely want their pupils to do well, and when issues come up they do try to sort things out rather than ignore them. It’s a positive environment with people who actually care about what they’re doing.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and detailed review — it genuinely means a lot to us.

It’s especially valuable when feedback comes from someone who has seen how things work behind the scenes, as you’ve rightly highlighted that there is often much more involved than people realise. Coordinating instructor availability, course scheduling, and test planning can be complex, particularly in an environment where external factors (such as test availability) are constantly changing.

We’re really pleased that this came across in your experience, and that you recognised the effort our team and instructors put into supporting pupils. Our instructors take a great deal of pride in what they do, and creating a positive, encouraging learning environment is something we place a strong emphasis on — particularly for those who may feel nervous or lack confidence at the start of their journey.

You’re absolutely right that, as with any busy service, there can sometimes be challenges. What’s important to us is how those situations are handled. We are continuously working to improve our communication and internal processes so that we can respond more quickly and effectively when things don’t go exactly to plan.

Your comments about the team’s attitude and commitment are very much appreciated. We do genuinely care about helping people succeed, and it’s encouraging to know that this is reflected in how the business operates day-to-day.

Thank you again for your feedback and for taking the time to share your perspective.

Kind regards,
The Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses Team

My instructor Paul was patient and understanding with the experience that I had behind the wheel. He also talked everything through in steeps that helped me understand how to do the manoeuvres correctly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review — it genuinely means a lot to us.

We’re really pleased to hear that your experience with Paul was such a positive one. His patient and understanding approach is exactly what we aim for across all of our instructors, and it’s great to know that this came through during your time behind the wheel. Learning to drive can feel overwhelming at times, so having someone who can break things down clearly and guide you step-by-step makes a huge difference.

We’re especially glad that the way Paul explained the manoeuvres helped build your understanding and confidence. That structured, progressive approach is something we actively encourage, as it allows learners to develop skills properly rather than just going through the motions.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Paul — feedback like this is always appreciated and really helps reinforce the importance of the work our instructors do every day.

Thanks again for choosing us, and we wish you all the very best with your driving going forward!

Thank you for such a great review — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

It’s fantastic to hear that you found your instructor’s teaching style so effective. We strongly believe that learning to drive isn’t just about passing the test, but about becoming a safe, confident driver for life. It’s great to know that this came across in your lessons, with a focus not only on test preparation but also on real-world driving skills.

The way you’ve described the lessons — reinforcing critical skills over time and adapting to a flexible schedule — is exactly what we aim to deliver. Everyone learns at a different pace, so having that structure combined with flexibility is key to building both confidence and competence.

We’ll be sure to pass your feedback on to Paul — he’ll be really pleased to hear this.

Wishing you all the best with your driving moving forward, and stay safe on the roads!

Terrible communication, waste of time and effort

Terrible. I had booked an intensive course for September 2025. First, the first day was cancelled, and then everything but the last day, and then everything was cancelled. I was understanding and we organised to still get the hours covered, but there were numerous occasions where a lesson was scheduled and then cancelled last-minute - on one occasion I cancelled university commitments and waited outside at the time of the lesson only for no one to show up. (I have full dates and paper trail of this so none of this can be disputed).

I was promised another 'reliable colleague' could step in which of course also ended up in nothing. I was promised a call and follow-up emails several times by different members of the team which also conveniently never came to fruition.

Eventually I grew sick of it and requested a refund which started a month-long back-and-forth of AI-generated responses, promising to 'raise it with the manager' and delaying more and more. Funnily enough, when I threatened to raise a formal dispute the refund finally (Dec 2025) came through.

Note in the other positive reviews whether they are praising the driving instructor they (fortunately) were assigned, or whether anyone has had a good experience with the agency themselves. As far as I have seen, if you get a reliable instructor then great, but otherwise prepare for months of terrible communication and delay.
