Just passed first time thanks to Steven. Great instructor and is very calm and patient. Would 100% recommend 5 day course to anyone wishing to pass quickly!
My experience with this driving school has made me anxious and unprepared for my test. I completed a 5day intensive course for 1200-1300 and you got the test included in the package. I was rushed in my course and felt pressured to hurry up majority of the time. My basic skills in clutch control and braking are seriously lacking, and I didn’t get enough time learning to park or starting on hills. I think the course is a false advertisement as this is not a beginners course. Even the driving test inspector said it was a miracle I could drive so well on my test as this course does not give enough time for complete beginners. I did not pass the test, my instructor actually said he thought I shouldn’t do it but as I knew I wouldn’t get any money back or support from this company; I thought I may as well give it a go and get the experience! They also taught me in Norwich but my test was at Lowestoft… that is ridiculous and not how you are supposed to learn or do your test! There was no mention of taking me to Lowestoft to learn the roads there, instead I was taken on the day of the test and had one go around the test route. This is unacceptable, you are supposed to be taught on the route you are going to take your test on! I had no hope of passing when I didn’t even learn the roads until the day of the test!! I would not recommend this driving school for beginners. The 5 day intensive is not for beginners as stated and you are rushed and pushed until you become an anxious and nervous driver. I am super disappointed and I really thought this course would support me on my way to driving, as they say on their website they have a 91% pass rate…. I imagine this is because if they think there is a chance you won’t pass, they will advise or tell you not to do it! Don’t book with these guys! Pay the money and go elsewhere if you are a beginner
Thanks to the company and Steve the instructor i was able to pass my driving first time with 1 minor. The Vauxhall corsa they use is up to scratch and easy to drive. I highly recommend a 2 day crash course worthy of 6 hours. Total payment of 345£ ! Money we'll spent for a refresher and to pick up confidence.
I was an below average driver, but the day I met matt, Matt wasn’t just an instructor — he was a lifesaver. In just three days, he transformed my fear into confidence, and thanks to his incredible guidance, today, I passed my driving test on the first try with only two minors! Before I met Matt, the thought of driving filled me with anxiety, but by the end of our very first day together, I felt something I never thought I would — excitement to get back behind the wheel. He believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and that changed everything. Thank you, Matt, for your patience, your encouragement, and for giving me the freedom I never thought I'd have. You're amazing!
Passed with Steve mid November - First time test with 1 minor - Absolute quality instructor who you can actually have a chat with, calm and relaxed and happy to go at your own pace - After a couple of years of not doing lessons we picked it up pretty quickly and he is good on giving praise where its due as well as pointing out small mistakes. Your website can look a bit dated and maybe put people off but I can't recommend this company enough! Best price in Norwich and one of the few companies that can get you a same week test! Communication 10/10 Value for Money 10/10 Flexibility 10/10
Matt was the best instructor I have ever had, in four days he got my driving confidence up and helped me pass first time! I used to be terrified of driving and after the first day of the intensive course I wanted to be back on the road. Thank you for being so brilliant!
I highly recommend this company for an intensive driving course. I did a three-day course in Norwich and my instructor Matt was fantastic. I have had multiple driving instructors over the years and Matt was by far the most experienced and relaxed instructor I have had which made me feel so at ease. He greatly increased my driving skills in just two sessions and massively improved my confidence which led to me passing my test first try.
