Don't do it

Don't do it ! Save the money and go elsewhere.
I'm owed money still due to paying for my courses and the instructor not showing up. My instructor showed up over 2 hours LATE on my TEST day !
The only reply I got back from the company is that they cant give refunds but can give me more lessons but have since gone MIA and won't respond to calls and ignoring my messages.
My instructor has since passed away and I have no clue if they have any more instructors to actually honour the hours that have been paid for.
They are a logistically nightmare and so highly unorganised. If I don't get my refund they will be reported and I urge other to do the same to get them closed down because this is theft.
Not to mention , the hours I did actually get of my lessons were spent with the instructor sitting on his phone - which to me seems highly dangerous with a learner at the wheel and stopping every 20 minutes with fag , shop or toilet breaks.... waste of hard earned money. GO ELSEWHERE !

They went into administration and they were awful to deal with

What shall I start with?the worst driving school out there is an understatement to say the least !they have let me down numerous times and now the instructor has passed away and they completely vanished ,they don't answer emails,phone calls nothing !!they still owe me money and I will not stop until I get my money back as I have put my trust in them and they let me down...but not much to expect when the instructor showed hungover at one of my driving sessions..very disappointing and a massive SCAM of a company !

They are scam

They are scam! Beware. Matthew will never show up or any other name they give to you. Once you pay they will disappear or tell you download app (total drive).

Hopefully they all get caught soon. They rip you off your hard earned money.

Absolutely disgusting!

Absolutely disgusting!
I paid £2000 for a five day intense course almost 6 months ago and have only received about 6 hours. Roughly 15 lessons cancelled by instructor. Car had a flat tyre on my first ever lesson. Instructor had me driving him round to shops so he could get tobacco etc
I was told by numerous people that the instructor is an alcoholic and shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel let alone teaching!!

And to top it off im now having to fight for my own money back!

Spoke to customer services on the phone today and was shouted over repeatedly until i had to hang up

STAY WELL CLEAR!!!!

Brilliant instructor!

Passed my driving test today and it was all thanks to Matt. He was brilliant, explained things really well and gave me so much more confidence driving - even on the dreaded roundabouts! I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn, whether you're starting from scratch or need to brush up before a test.
Thank you Matt!!

Fantastic experience learning to drive…

Fantastic experience learning to drive with Matt, he took me on at short notice and held excellent patience with me throughout. Taught me everything I needed to know and more and got me from learning to drive to test ready in a short time. I took my test today and passed first time with few minors. A big thank you to Matt :) highly recommend

When I was recommended to Martins and I…

When I was recommended to Martins and I placed that call to him, His positive response made me to feel that am with the right person. With the short time left on my side, Martins came out immediately and we kicked it off. I so much admired his patience, his style of teaching is unique compared to my other instructors. He is also funny with his teaching. He was not rigid about it. I passed my test with just 4 minor faults. Martins is the world best Instructor I must say. 😆
