What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Crash courses and week-long intensive tuition form the main offer from this Furse Park address, though feedback describes a troubled experience for many. A couple of reviewers speak well of an instructor named Mark and his teaching style, but recurring complaints concern being signed up for a crash course without being warned that the test would only proceed if the instructor deemed the pupil ready, leaving some pupils out of pocket.

Refund handling is a repeated grievance, with accounts of payment being withheld after the company failed to supply an instructor, and one pupil describing nearly five months of chasing before learning that the assigned instructor had stopped offering evening sessions. Another account describes an instructor behaving in a confrontational and unprofessional manner during an intensive week, including a test cancellation that was reportedly never communicated beforehand.

Poor communication and slow responses to queries are raised by several reviewers, alongside frustration at being left without clarity on lesson arrangements. The school keeps long weekday opening hours, from nine in the morning until nine at night, with reduced Saturday and Sunday hours until five, at its Plymouth base. Across the feedback, dissatisfaction centres repeatedly on refunds, communication and instructor availability for those booking intensive courses.

Good routes, good car, good local knowledge. Mark accepted to refund because teaching style/scheduling wasn't good for me.

I did a week long intensive driving course with Mark Lyons, he was confrontational, aggressive and unprofessional. I had told Surepass before i started this course that i was new to driving and hadn't had any lessons even with that knowledge Mark berated me about the prettiest things and made my experience driving with hostile. He cancelled my driving test that i had paid for without telling me and then later lied saying he told me on the Tuesday of that week (he definitely did not). He used the hours i had paid for and hours i was supposed to be driving with to have his break (so i was basically paying for his break) and he scammed me out of 72 pounds worth of hours. Overall it was an awful experience with an awful defencive driving instructor.
