This is a company owned by someone called Wayne. It's run by him and regardless of where you live you will be taught by him. He is the only instructor of this company. He's fine, if you don't mind being yelled at, creeped out by excessive attempts at eye contact and staring even while you drive and left fearing for your life when he has all his panic outbursts. Now if you really need this and you just keep going anyway, you can get your licence with him. My husband did, but he hated every minute of it and as a result hates driving now. It also took him a long time to learn to drive a normal car as a lot of features of the instructors car are automatic, such as the parking brake. Funny story, my husband was actually stuck in his car for a good 30 mins once trying to get to work because he just got his work car dropped off and didn't know how to work the hand brake. However, if you're not really the kind of person who'd want to sit in a car with someone yelling at you while you're learning, I'd suggest going elsewhere BEFORE you even contact this man. I made the mistake of paying up front for 33 hours in cash and was given no receipt for it, and now it looks like I'm having to take him to court to get my money back for the 29 hours I didn't use. He's stopped replying to my texts the second I mentioned getting my money back and has been ignoring my calls since. I then tried calling from another phone and when he picked up and heard it was me, he hung up on me. I've tried going to the address registered for the company, but it's his actual home address and it's an apartment building and he's removed his doorbell. This man is exactly the reason why people don't support small businesses more. Read Less
