I would definitely recommend learning to drive with this driving school. This is because the driving instructor I had (John) focused on the specific things that I needed to improve on to pass my test. As well as this, he would take into account the parts of driving which I was not 100% confident with and would practice it. In the lead up to the driving test, we would practice routes on the sat nav and would pay attention to the Beckett’s farm roundabout from different angles, which is very tricky for a learner. Overall, he was kind, considerate, helpful and reassuring. Read Less

I did the pass plus course with Pat and it was brilliant. We covered all six lessons in a week and my driving has drastically improved. Prior to doing the course I was afraid of driving in big cities such as Birmingham, but with his assistance I have conquered the fear. I have learned so much from driving in hazardous conditions, driving in the dark, town driving and driving in places where there are lots of hills. Pat is probably one of these likeable driving instructors there are. He is very reasonable and a nice chap. He gives good advice. Thanks Pat. I really enjoyed it! Read Less

Last week I passed my test first time with John. What makes him a great instructor is that he is extremely patient, very thorough, and every lesson remembered exactly what I needed to practice. His positivity made me feel very confident when driving, and constructive feedback always helped me to learn from mistakes. I had already had around 35 hours experience with a few other instructors, but I found John had taught me far more than the previous, and was my favourite of them all! I only wished I’d found him to begin with. I have already recommended him to everyone I’ve spoken to and I would 100% recommend! Read Less

I am so happy with the result, my husband got PASSED 1st TIME. From the first appointment he always came early and the price of lesson is reasonably accepted as he gave all lessons comprehensively, improvements continuously, and building the self confident as well. Pat is the driver who helped my husband so much, and at the first calling he said he will help and it is proven. it is so true.. Highly recommended for students with English is not their first language. Read Less

Awful instructor. Didn't receive a whole lesson when I was paying £45+ for 2 hrs a lesson and only having 1hr to 1hr 30 mins. Instructor was rude and always messed me about. I got no closer to driving properly than when I started, after 5 months I was still being treated like I didn't know the basic manoeuvres. After changing schools to Bill Plant. Costs more but you get what you pay for at Bill Plant. Wouldn't recommend this school on my worst enemy. Or my old instructor anyway. Read Less

Just passed first time with Pat! Really great instructor. Extremely calm and encouraging. Very understanding of individuals needs and adapts the lesson to how the pupil seems that day. He showed me all the tests routes and never lost his cool no matter what mistake I made which has allowed me to gain enough confidence to handle almost any situation. THANK YOU! Read Less

Absolutely superb driving school. I recently moved to Birmingham having just passed my test in my old city so didn't have a lot of experience. I decided to take a pass plus course with pat and he was a legend. He made sure we covered the required topics including motorways and encorporated our routes with areas he knew I wanted to visit and know more about. I can't thank him enough for his patience and helping boost my confidence enough to drive in this huge city on my own. Highly recommend him. Read Less
