I've passed my driving test today. Kieran was there for me when I hit my lowest, I wanted to give up driving cause I thought I was really bad. Within a couple of months, I turned from this depressed person into a very confident person, all thanks to him. His tips and lessons were fun to learn and he was a great person to talk to overall. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you again. -Aysha Read Less

After having a bad driving instructor first time around who I wasted lots of time with and subsequently failed my first test, after being completely put off I decided to start learning again after a 5 year break. Within 5 months with Sean I passed my second test with three minors! He is great for nervous drivers, he is clear, calm, professional, reliable and just fantastic. He adapts to your specific needs, and he was great at reassuring my nerves on the day of my test too. Couldn’t have done it without him! Read Less

Sean was a fantastic driving instructor. Made me feel very relaxed and comfortable but pushed me to keep me improving. Just passed on my first try with 3 minors and couldn’t have done it without him. He fitted in my lessons around my very busy schedule. Even when it may not have been so convenient for him. A really great instructor. Read Less

Absolutely great teaching quality. Kieran has helped me passed my driving test on my first attempt. He is very patient and friendly during my lessons and definitely improved my confidence on the road. Spent little more than 30 hours and I'm already capable of going for a test. I have recommended him to several friends all of them is very satisfied with the instruction he provided. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Read Less

I passed my test this week with 2 minors after having Kieran as my instructor for the past 2 months. He perfectly balanced teaching me the technicalities of driving but more importantly spent a lot of time making sure I felt confident and relaxed. I decided to start driving at a slightly older age than most which made me a little nervous to begin with, but Kierans patience and genuine approach showed me I had nothing to worry about! For anybody looking for a driving school in or around Edinburgh this comes highly recommended Read Less

Steve explained things really well, adapted the lessons to suit me, gave me confidence and taught me with patience and kindness. As well as being great banter and keeping me smiling the whole time! He really is a star whom Capital Driving should be proud to work with, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks Steve - you're the best! ����� Read Less

Having previously struggled to pass my test in a different city I thought it would be difficult to find an instructor willing to accept me for just a few hours of lessons, Sean assured me that this would not be an issue. The price of these lessons was, surprisingly, more reasonable than other places. I found his lessons professional and his advise very helpful - he was understanding of my level of driving and of the situation that I was in. Through his expertise I was able to pass my first test booked with him over a short period of time. I have already recommended Sean to others and will continue to do so.Read Less

Sean is a brilliant driving instructor! Extremely professional and thorough in his teaching. He doesn't take you to the nearest lay-by and give you an hour-long theory lesson like most of the cowboys out there. He gets you out on the road and quickly gets you very competent as a driver. Very competitive prices too. Certainly the best instructor I found in Edinburgh & more importantly, Sean's teaching earned me my PASS! :) Read Less

Thanks to Capital Driving School, and especially, Sean, I passed my driving test first time. I was a pretty nervous learner with a short time-scale in which to pass my test but Sean arranged all the driving lessons to fit into my restricted schedule. He introduced new manoeuvres at a manageable pace, and constantly involved me in what I felt I needed to work on. This really helped me to grow in confidence. I would strongly recommend the intensive driving courses – getting to practise for 2-3 hours at a time was a fantastic way to become more confident with driving, as well as providing the opportunity to practise several manoeuvres during each lesson. Many thanks again. Read Less
