I got recommended Bangor Driving Academy through a friend as I was getting nervous before and during driving lessons. I had a really nice chat with Richard and I decided I wanted to give an automatic lesson a go to see if that would help my confidence and I am so thankful I did!
Irene did my automatic lessons and she is an incredible instructor! She really prepared me for driving not just on my test but in the future too, as well as teaching me how to take care of a car I get. I passed my driving test first time!!!!!!
Irene was always happy to book me in for as many lessons as I wanted, even when it wasn't the most convenient for her, this really helped me boost my confidence and I couldn't thank her enough. We had a lot of laughs and I learnt so much about Switzerland and fashion!
Thank you for building my confidence and being so patient with me!

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my driving after learning with Richard. I passed first time after a few months of lessons, Richard made me feel comfortable and confident in myself for my test even when I thought I wasn't going to do well, Irene, who mock tested me was very professional and kind and really helped me to improve on my driving before my test. Richard had the patience of a saint and made me feel calm and comfortable throughout my whole driving experience. I would highly recommend Bangor Driving Academy, I couldn't have passed my test without them.

Cannot fault Bangor Driving Academy, helped me pass my test with only one minor fault in a matter of months. Richard taught me things in a way i could understand and remember - and made manoeuvres easy to do. The inclusion of mock tests also prepared me even more on what to expect during the real thing. I also had lessons with Irene, in order to identify any areas that might have been missed which again helped me really master my driving. Would HIGHLY recommend, can have great conversation, always accommodate as best they can, always on time for lessons! All around great driving school. Couldn't be more glad i learnt to drive with them.

Had a fantastic time learning with Richard his knowledge, advice and patience were invaluable. It was also very helpful getting extra lessons from Irene to get a different persons perspective on my progress. All in all I don't think I could have passed without Bangor Driving Academy, I will definitely be recommending them to others.

Having failed my test 3 times before due to nerves (with someone else), Richard helped me improve both my confidence and driving ability. Because of this I was able to pass with only 3 minors. Not only is he a great instructor with a wealth of experience, he is also a great guy with a great sense of humour.
For anyone learning to drive I very highly recommend Richard!

Brilliant experience learning to drive with Richard and Irene. Learning to drive in a 2 Litre BMW 1 Series was an absolute joy, Richard has a great sense of humour and his years of experience as a driving instructor were invaluable. I put a lot of pressure on Richard in getting me to pass in a very short space of time, and sure enough, I passed first time! I did a mock test with Irene, which was absolutely brilliant as I was able to have a second opinion on my driving and noticed habits that hadn't been flagged previously. Irene is a lovely lady, who also has a great sense of humour and put me at ease throughout the lesson as we chatted about everything from poor road conditions to living in Switzerland! Altogether a brilliant duo and would highly recommend learning with these incredibly friendly and supportive instructors.

Great instructor, Highly recommended.
Was very nervous before I started doing my driving lessons but Richard made me very comfortable with the car and helped in building my confidence. Had some trouble for a few weeks which knocked my confidence a bit but Richard was very understanding and had patience while I got things sorted. Also had two lessons with Irene to get another opinion on how my progress was going and both lessons had some positive outcomes. Passed my test on my first attempt and don't think I could have done that with any other instructor in the area.
