What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People who feared they would struggle behind the wheel make up a large share of the accounts left about this Portland Street provider in central Manchester, with many describing how a mix of firmness and encouragement eased that early apprehension into steady confidence. Instructors Anisa and Nida are named repeatedly, both credited with patience, clear step-by-step explanations and a manner that keeps lessons calm rather than stressful.

Reviews time and again mention progress being tracked closely, with weaker areas identified and worked through until manoeuvres and general awareness on the road become second nature. One pupil finished an intensive course and passed within a week, suggesting scheduling that suits those wanting a quick, well-organised route to a test, while others describe passing first time after a fuller run of lessons built up gradually.

Professionalism and reliable timekeeping are noted alongside the encouraging tone both instructors maintain, even when learners make errors mid-lesson. The school appears to operate every day of the week, offering scope for pupils to fit sessions around college, work or family commitments. What stands out across the feedback is instructors tailoring pace and pressure to the individual, whether that means gentle reassurance for someone anxious or a faster, structured plan for an intensive learner, all run from the central Manchester address.

I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor than Anisa at NextPass Driving School. She is incredibly calm, patient, and supportive, which made every lesson enjoyable and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Anisa explains everything clearly and creates a relaxed learning environment, so I never felt pressured or nervous. She was always encouraging, even when I made mistakes, and took the time to make sure I understood everything before moving on. Thanks to her excellent teaching and support, I felt fully prepared for my test. I would highly recommend Anisa to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and reliable driving instructor. Thank you for all your help!

The person I spoke to was Anisa, seemed very forward and aggressive upon first impression, made jokes about my intellect:/ although it may seem like a “joke” i do battle mental health disorders. As a professional you shouldn’t make jokes like this. I didn’t find this pleasing so I couldnt book solely due to this experience. i Just hope Next Pass driving school, improve the being professional side of things :/

I had anisa as my instructor within the sale area and was very worried I wouldn’t pass, she built my confidence with her firm but fun lessons that make driving feel like an opportunity rather than a chore. Pick anisa as your instructor if you want to pass!!
