The Driving Academy

I have just passed my driving test today. Alan Almond was my driving instructor. Alan was great from the moment I first started my lessons all the way to when I took my test this morning. Alan always made me feel calm when I was driving, especially at the beginning when I was very nervous. Alan always explained things to me in great detail so I always knew what to expect when driving and how to deal with it. I would thoroughly recommend Alan to anybody who was wanting to learn to drive. Thank...

Thank you so much Suzanne not only for the practical a...

Highly recommend Geoff as a instructor, he is very clear with his instructions and explains things very well! Very pr...

I've been wanting to become a driving instructor and I didn't know how to start. Thanks to Suzanne guiding me I've now passed my part 1. She is so helpful and takes out her own time to answer literally anything and feedback is amazing. With her support I will hopefully also pass my part 2 and 3. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to start becoming a driving instructor, especially if you're not sure how to start.
