I can't comment on the 2 day course but I did the 5 day course without having had many lessons before and passed my test first time. Dave is a phenomenal teacher, very patient ,excellent to learn from and a lovely guy. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Having said that the cheapest accommodation really isn't very good. They have no wifi and the hosts really arn't very good but its crazily cheap so you get what you pay for with them. Read Less

I passed first time last week after doing a five day one to one tuition course. My instructor was George and as others have said about their instructors, I can't praise him enough. I was a little bit worried because I found out that my test would be in Blackburn and I wouldn't know the roads. As my instructor said, once you've learned how to drive, you can drive anywhere and I totally agree. I only got 4 minors which is pretty good as you're allowed up to 15. As for the 'budget' accommodation which learn drive provided for me at the Hazeldene, it was lovely. Home cooked food every night which was beautiful and a great full English breakfast in the morning or cereal if you wish. Thank you learn drive, can't thank you enough! I've recommended this place to everybody, just one minor fault with the course.. Blackpool is freeeeezing :) Read Less

Given a 1 as it won't let me give a 0. My daughter paid £250 for less than 2 hours driving. She was picked up from Blackpool by Dave and spent the 1st hour waiting outside an hotel for another customer who wasn't even there, then sat waiting outside Blackpool train station for their train to arrive. She then drove to a car park and was told to let the other person drive. Her test was the following day..... but oh no.. that was cancelled... so the following day she was not offered any hours driving but told her test was rebooked for the day after. She was told to wait near her house at 7am. Half an hour later......where was Dave that was to give her an hours tuition before her test (as she hadn't been able to get used to the car) he was in bed!!!!!!! Ultimately she failed.. and they're arguing about reimbursing her. She was given £120, £100 refund and £20 taxi fare to the test centre as she had to make her own way there. Her instructor has also just text me by mistake when he should have been texting the centre. Do they really know what's going on. STAY WELL CLEAR... This is not over until my daughter gets a full reimbursement Read Less

Really great experience. I went on two courses; the 4 day course and the 2 day course both shared with optional accommodation. I went on the first course after having around 10 lessons the previous summer. Alan was my instructor throughout both courses and he made me feel so relaxed and spent time on areas that I didn't feel so confident with. On arrival, it was explained that my test was going to be in Preston and not Blackpool, which admittedly made me feel a little anxious at first, but from day one myself and the person I shared the course with drove to Preston and started to learn the roads and test routes. I found driving around Preston really OK as it has a nice mix of country roads and fast roads and never too much traffic from what I experienced. Unfortunately on my first course I failed, but not through bad teaching , I just failed to stop at abig red light on my test! I took my second course with Alan at Preston again on request and luckily passed! Accommodation at Hazeldene was very good value for money and most of all safe and welcoming. As a young female traveling by myself this was really important. Really can't recommend this course enough. One tip I would give people thinking about doing the 4 day shared course is that some experience of driving is needed - luckily me and the person I shared the course with were at similar levels of experience.

Diasappointed and Unfair dismissal. .After nearly a week of 1 to 1 and having received alot of great feedback on my progress and consistent throughout the week . .My Instructor decided I wasn't ready for test few minutes before my test this Morning.. So that means..loss of test fee as no time to even rebook my test. Thought there was a difference between an incomplete Students and Nerves in the morning of the test. Can't Fault thou the Atlantic Hotel ..Was a Pleasure staying there. Read Less

Excellent value for money, instructor Dave was amazing, so helpful and patient. Although I failed first time (one major! My fault) I booked another course straight away for just one day and passed. Can't praise them enough! Read Less
