Services include refresher lessons for clients who have arrived in the UK and wish to learn to drive safely on their international driving license, a fast practical driving test booking service, theory test training subject to course availability, driving instructor training, bespoke packages for high net worth individuals, rehab/insurance assessment lessons, and packages for brand ambassadors.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Learner drivers consistently highlight patient, calm instruction as the defining feature of lessons with this driving school, and the instructors named in accounts include Sacdiya, Kasey, Shahzad and Adil. Customers writing about their orders describe being taken on at short notice, including one whose theory test was close to expiring, and praise the speed with which confidence was built.

More than one review highlights clear explanations and a teaching style that does not rush the learner, with mistakes addressed constructively and guidance offered without pressure. First-time passes feature in numerous accounts, some after only a few weeks of tuition, and a number of pupils arrived after previous tuition elsewhere and found the approach welcoming. Named instructors are described as warm and encouraging, tailoring each lesson to the individual and helping nervous beginners feel at ease behind the wheel.

The service covers learner driver training and preparation for the practical test, and the business also appears as a driving test centre. Communication before lessons and flexibility around booking come up as strengths, while the overall impression is of instruction that builds competence steadily. Passes at the first attempt, including rapid progress over a short period, are a recurring theme in these accounts.

A great experience with 1Driving from start to finish. My instructor was friendly, patient, and always made me feel at ease during lessons. I learned so much and would definitely recommend 1Driving to anyone looking to pass their test. Thank you!

I’m really glad I had Adil as my driving instructor. He was always calm, encouraging, and made every lesson feel relaxed, which really helped with my confidence. He explained things in a way that actually made sense and was always happy to go over anything I wasn’t sure about. Every lesson felt worthwhile, and I always came away feeling like I’d improved.

I had a very reliable friendly instructor Waqar as someone with no experince on the roads who very quickly became was able to teach me how to drive safely. He quickly identified areas I needed to improve and gave me constructive feedback so I could progress. I passed my test first time with Waqar in 2 months, could not recommend this company any more.

I’ve learned with both Shazad and Adil, and they are both excellent instructors. They gave me a clear overview of the driving test, prepared me for different scenarios (including the show me/tell me questions), and pointed out potential tricky areas during lessons. Their instructions and feedback were always clear and constructive. They are patient, supportive, and good at explaining mistakes in a way that makes it easy to improve. I felt much more confident and well-prepared for the test because of their guidance.

I was randomly walking around my area when I noticed a 1Driving.co car parked nearby. I called the number and was fortunate to be assigned Adil as my driving instructor. I had already completed a few lessons with my mum, but I wanted to pick up some additional tips and guidance that I might have missed. After only around six hours of lessons with Adil, I felt much more confident behind the wheel. He was calm, patient, and professional throughout, helping me understand and learn from any mistakes that could have resulted in faults or minors during my test. I’m happy to say that I passed my practical driving test on the first attempt with only three minors. I can’t recommend Adil highly enough for anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable instructor. And, of course, a big thank you to my mum as well! - Jassem

Im grateful that they took me on at such short notice as my previous instructor from a different company, told me i wasn’t ready and that i should cancel the test only 5 days before, 1driving came through and were welcoming from the get go with great teaching allowing me to pass first time.

Outstanding Instructor – Passed in Only 3 Weeks I can’t recommend Adil highly enough. I passed my driving test after just three weeks of lessons, which is something I never thought would be possible when I first started. From day one, Adil was patient, professional, and incredibly supportive. He quickly identified the areas I needed to work on and tailored each lesson to help me improve efficiently and build confidence behind the wheel. His teaching style is calm, clear, and encouraging, which made a huge difference in helping me stay relaxed and focused. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about my progress. He didn’t just teach me how to pass the test; he taught me how to drive safely and confidently for the long term. Every lesson was well-structured, productive, and focused on helping me become a better driver. Passing my test in such a short period is a testament to Adil’s skill as an instructor. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, reliable, patient, and committed to helping you succeed, I would highly recommend Adil. Thank you for all your support, guidance, and belief in me throughout the process. I couldn’t have done it without you! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
