I passed my test using this driving school, I had my lessons with Usman Baig and I highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable, professional, supportive and understanding. I am very happy and recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Usman Baig and 1st Driving School!

Adiel was a reliable and flexible instructor that ensured my daughter felt comfortable at all times and was ready to take her test.

My instructor was Shibu, he was lovely, can't fault him. After a year of no lessons due to covid and my last instructor not getting me anywhere with my lessons. I passed 1st time after only 19 hours of lessons!

I passed my driving test first time thanks to my amazing instructor Kevin Hopps! Not only is he a lovely guy, but also a great, patient teacher. I found him to always be reliable, and always willing to fit in lessons for me around my schedule. When I made mistakes I never felt judged, and I always felt comfortable and like I was in good hands. I looked forward to every lesson and had fun whilst also gaining so much confidence and learning a lot! From the first lesson to the day of my test he was so supportive and encouraging, and was genuinely happy for me when I passed. I’m definitely going to miss my lessons with him!

I am still basking in the euphoria of passing UK driving practical test on my first attempt. I had Adriel Khan as my instructor, He did everything possible to make sure I passed, He is teacher per excellence and importantly a good motivator. I will anyday recommend this driving school. Is not only the first but the best.

I am happy I got in touch with you guys. My instructor was Tim Hughes. He was really good at explaining the driving techniques especially by using drawings on his tab. He helped me build my confidence made me relaxed throughout. Best instructor I've ever had.

I had Riff as my instructor. He was very honest but also patient. His instructions on how to execute everything were very clear and simple making it easy to understand. I never felt as if I was forced to progress to something I wasn’t comfortable with however he was very good at knowing when I was ready to move onto a new concept even if I may not know it. Overall I would recommend Riff as an instructor.

I passed my test first time! My instructor Christine Parker was absolutely amazing, made me feel at ease, comfortable and made me feel confident in driving. I would highly recommend 1st driving and Christine.

It was a long run, with all the lockdowns and my long, personal break away from driving, but finally I passed, and that's just because of Libby. I'm not sure I'd make it otherwise!

Reply from 1st Driving School
Had a driving instructor called Libby, she was very friendly and gave persistent but not annoying advice which is hard to do but she’s spot on. Couldn’t recommend her anymore:)

This service has a very well educated instructor and makes sure everything is well done when it comes to the routines and well being of driving.

Learning how to drive with Adiel Khan was a very positive experience and I passed my test on the first attempt! Initially I was a very nervous driver but Adiel was always very calm and supportive, making me feel comfortable from day 1. He adapted perfectly to my learning style and pace. Adiel isn't just an amazing instructor, but also just a very kind and genuine person with a good sense of humour. I am extremely grateful and highly recommend him! Thank you!

I started having lessons with Andrew after more then 10 years away from driving and found him to be very professional and calming
Throughout my lessons Andrew was very knowledgeable and put me at ease
To be honest I couldn't have wished for a better instructor
Massive 5 star review. Thank you so much!

Couldn’t rate Libby John from 1st driving school enough! She put me completely at ease after putting off driving for so long. I have recommended her to so many people already. I looked forward to every lesson, progressed at my speed and built so much confidence driving! She is such an amazing person, I will miss our lessons! Passed first time with one minor, can’t thank Libby enough. If you want to pass your test go with Libby!!!

I had Jamal Bellout as my driving instructor for manual. Suffice to say I passed first time. Jamal is a fantastic coach - he knows exactly what you need to work on and delivers feedback at the right time, politely, and with great clarity. He helped me get comfortable with all the technical aspects of driving (clutch control, steering) so I could focus on observation and anticipation which are key to passing the test. Very professional and fun to chat to as well. Highly recommended.
