He made the whole test feel comfortable and stress-free. I really appreciate it and would definitely recommend my friends to take their test here.

Craig was fantastic for my MR driving test! Professional and easy going, he made the whole experience a lot less nerve wracking. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I recently did the 4WD course. 100% would recommend. Craig was my instructor - he was exceptional. The theory was great with accurate facts and information. The practical side was phenomenal. We were shown lots of different scenarios. Craig even got bogged to show us how to get out. This course was very beneficial and a great introduction into 4WDriving. Thank you CADS (especially Craig) for an amazing experience.

100% Would recommend. Amazing staff. All very kind but professional people who don't judge and give credit where credit is due. I learnt so much. Craig was my instructor for my HR licence. He was friendly and professional and had a way to put me at ease. I felt relaxed, like he wasn't judging me but just there to help. I could ask him anything and got the answer I was looking for. He explained things very well. As a woman I was treated as an equal. No more but no less. That's just what I want. I received an abundance of knowledge and thanks to his expertise and my machinery background, I was able to pass with flying colours. What I was pleased with as well was the way in which the staff all had a mutual respect for eachother and all seemed happy and to get along. This creates a relaxing environment to learn and a happy one. I can't recommend cads enough. Awesome people who genuinely take pride in their work and care. Awesome business. Will definitely be recommending. Thank you Craig. Thank you CADS.
