I did an intensive 32 hour course with driving instructor Rodger.
I couldn't recommend him enough, from lesson one got on with him. Very chilled yet very informative. He wont get you down about the things your doing wrong, respects that this is brand new to you and what I think is key to success in learning to drive is Rodger is very patient. I did the course over around three weeks.. which I would recommend as if not you are driving around 8 hours a day in the 4 day week leading up to the test so instead we worked up to having about 15 hours in the bag leading up to the `intensive week`. Rodger is very accommodating and always manged to get me a lesson at short notice, like a lot of people I work full time. Rodger had no compliments about starting early with me before work and finishing late with me after work, allowing me not to stress about working but also learning to drive.
Margaret at the office is very friendly and accommodating, Before I booked the intensive week I still had to sit my theory. Margaret was very sweet and motivating to me about my theory and even booked the test for me which saved me 50% rather than booking online.
Couldn't recommend ABLE enough and a huge thanks to them for getting me through my test first time.

I had the most positive experience with Able Driving School they are incredible, no doubt offering the highest quality of service! Margaret who works on the desk is such a lovely, kind and amazing lady! Such a nice group of people, great chats and friendly.
Greg was an incredible instructor, supportive, thorough, calm yet firm, really easy to get on with too. I can't recommend him enough! Also, of course like most of their learners I PASSED first time!!! :)
I'm looking forward to continuing a pass plus course with Greg.
Thanks again guys!

I passed my test yesterday with two minors. My success and my confidence as a new driver can be attributed entirely to Greg's fantastic supervision. Greg is a calm, patient, and supportive instructor, and I quickly gained confidence and skills under his tutelage. For anyone looking to learn how to drive and feel reassured and confident while doing it, I cannot recommend Greg enough.

Many thanks for helping me pass! I had Greg as my instructor, he was a great teacher throughout, with the added bonus of laughing at all my terrible one liners.

I took 5 classes with David before I had to stop because of moving somewhere else. I was really scared beforehand, but David is incredibly patient, he explains everything really well, and I felt really safe in his hands. He always finds a way to make you feel relaxed, and I couldn't recommend a better instructor!

I've had a couple of other driving instructors and they seemed OK at the time. However, since learning with Mansour I have discovered the joy of learning the drive - he is as calm as a zen master, and instantly puts you at ease, and is a pleasure to be taught by. The office staff are equally lovely, and I have heard nothing but good things about the other instructor, David. The routes used for practise are the same used for the local test, so another great reason to study with Able. I couldn't recommend them any more highly.

I have been having lessons for the last few years with various different companies but none compare to the lessons I had with David at Able. His friendly and relaxed attitude really helped me conquer my nerves and enjoy driving again. I think I learnt more with him in a week than I did with anyone else in a year! If you want a company that care more about your success than your money then I highly recommend Able. Thanks to David I have finally managed to pass my test and I am so grateful.
