Couldn’t recommend Fra enough. Superb instruction from start to finish. Always felt comfortable and at ease whilst building confidence on the road. Communication was always excellent both during and follow-up from lessons.

Fra is an excellent instructor who goes above and beyond.
He's thorough and ensures understanding. He does things the right way and he gets results.
5 stars for sure.

I’m usually quite honest, and here is no exception. Apex deserves five stars. I learned manual transmission with Fra, and received my pass result with just over a year or so of lessons. Fra was always very friendly, chatty, patient, reassuring and understanding. He always went above and beyond to help explain tricky areas and his way of explaining things like manoeuvres or other tricky areas really helped. If there were ever any issues or questions that came up Fra was always right there to help out and assist with whatever it was. I found pricing to be very reasonable always and this reflected the excellent service that was delivered. You really do learn at your own pace with Apex and everything is tailored to be flexible with the learners needs. If there’s now anybody out there looking to start their own driving journey, I highly recommend Apex. Top tier.

Fran was fantastic in preparing me for my Taxi drivers practical test having lapsed my license 10 years ago.
I have no doubt it would have been impossible for me to achieve a Pass result first attempt...

I have no doubt it would have been impossible for me to achieve a Pass result first attempt.
Frans calm tutoring and Pre-test dry runs and what he explained was 100% what was expected & asked of me by the examiner during my test.

Fra's patient and persistent instruction enabled me to successfully pass my test after only a week's intensive tuition (previously I only had lessons from friends & family). Very friendly and responsive communication throughout. Highly recommended.

Had never driven before, was nervous about being on the road but after Fra explained everything it made me feel at ease, would recommend A.S.M to anyone thinking of learning to drive.
