My driver Jason is one of the best driving instructors I know. He is a very chill guy but makes sure you’re doing everything correctly and you are aware of everything that needs to be complete. Thanks... See more

If I could give Jason more stars, I would. I did a 30 hour intensive course with Jason in late January, which lasted for a month. Today, I passed my test with four minors, and I must say Jason’s abili... See more

I was looking for a refresher lesson as I had a driving assessment for a job and I knew I had some bad habits to get rid of. Jason was brilliant and made sure that those habits were eradicated :) He was very patient and I would highly recommend. I got through my assessment with flying colours. :)

A big shoutout to Jason Sheppard for expertly guiding my daughter on her driving adventure, culminating in her passing on her first attempt. His understanding and adaptation to her additional needs were remarkable. Jason consistently demonstrated professionalism, punctuality, and dependability, all while maintaining a friendly demeanor. He's genuinely an amazing person, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Fantastic instructor!

Jason has been a fantastic instructor from our first lesson through to the test. Incredibly friendly and patient. Through our lessons he was able to put me at ease after I had previously failed a test 10 years ago and shied away from driving since then. He was able to adapt to the experience I previously had and train and prepare me for driving independently. He is great at clearly explaining manoeuvres and the rules of the road while still remaining chatty and funny throughout the lessons.

I passed my second test with 2 minors in a new car thanks to Jason's instruction and ability to put me at ease in the new car days before the test. Couldn't recommend him more for those looking to learn in Cardiff!

I passed my test this month and have been with Jason since June! We took lessons mostly every week and Jason taught me everything I needed to know. For my test I did take my own car and did lessons with family but Jason taught me what I had to do to pass which allowed me to do this. Would definitely recommend

Highly recommended!

I would like to give Jason Sheppard a huge thank you for getting my daughter through her driving journey and enabling her to pass first time. He was very supportive of my daughter's additional needs and adapted lessons accordingly. He has been professional, punctual and reliable throughout whilst also being friendly and just a great all round guy! I highly recommend him to other learners.

A huge thank you to Jason for always being so patient and understanding when learning to drive. This gave me the confidence and skills I needed to pass my test the first time. Jason was always so kind and accommodating to my needs, as well as a great laugh whilst on lessons. I highly recommend 1st Stop to anyone who is interested in learning to drive.

A Great fun, relaxed instructor

From the very first contact I had with Jason about lessons for my kid. he was very friendly and efficient, he told me the options regarding intensive courses, he then booked the test and worked back from there it was all so effortless on my part. When he first turned up for first lesson he was very pleasant with a friendly relaxed feel about him. Jac felt calm from the start. During the course he made Jac feel very confident, was a fun instructor. Extremely encouraging even when Jac didn’t do to well. He provided Jac with all the knowledge and practical skills that were needed to pass his. Would 💯 recommend Jason to anybody looking for a great instructor who also offers a fun, relaxed environment to learn in. Thank you Jason 😁

The best instructor

Jason is an absolutely fantastic instructor to learn from. The patience of a saint, he understood exactly what I needed to learn and is great at allowing you to learn at your own pace and boosting confidence. I've struggled with instructor availability in the past due to working office hours full time, but Jason always has good availability for a lesson. And I passed first time! Highly recommend 1st Stop School of Motoring! 10/10
