I had an excellent experience learning with A-Class Driving School. My instructor name was Alistair Thompson. Alistair was so patient, professional and supportive throughout every lesson. He made sure I developed strong steering control, became confident using all the gears in a manual car, and fully understood clutch control, the biting point, acceleration, and choosing the correct gear, especially at roundabouts and busy roads. He also took the time to thoroughly go through all the Show Me and Tell Me questions, testing me regularly until I was confident with every one of them. Thanks to his teaching, I passed my driving test first time. I can’t thank him enough for all the time, effort, and encouragement he gave me. I would highly recommend A-Class Driving School to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated driving instructor. Again thank you so much Alistai!!! Read Less

I am really enjoying learning to drive with John H as my instructor. He has been great from the get go. I had taken some time off from learning to drive and chose to return to an automatic. Despite being very nervous at first, John H has been brilliant in instilling confidence and belief in me. He has a great teaching approach that makes me feel at ease and is a lovely person all round. I truly enjoy my lessons which I never thought would be possible and it is all thanks to him. I would recommend John H fully!! Coming back to edit this post… I passed my driving test first time with two minors this week and couldn’t be happier. This is all down to John and I can’t thank him enough. Read Less

I started learning with John H at A-Class Driving at the end of March and passed my driving test on 10th June, which is something I couldn’t have achieved without his excellent instruction and support. From the very beginning, John understood my reasons for needing to pass quickly and tailored my lessons to help me reach that goal. He was incredibly patient, encouraging, and professional throughout the entire process. His calm approach helped build my confidence behind the wheel, and he always took the time to explain things clearly and thoroughly. Even when I doubted myself, John believed in me and gave me the reassurance I needed to keep progressing. Thanks to his guidance, I not only passed my test but also feel confident and safe driving independently. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a driving instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive, patient, and genuinely invested in helping their students succeed. Thank you, John, for helping me achieve such an important milestone! Read Less

I had a great first lesson with John today. I was extremely nervous and he put me at ease. We started off learning steering in a car park to help with my confidence but in no time I was driving around quiet roads and my nerves disappeared. He's a good teacher and I picked the basics up quickly. He even had the confidence to let me drive Home. I feel a lot better about learning to drive now. Thanks John 👍🏻 Read Less

I am so so happy with my experience learning with A-Class Driving School! I learn't with Glen Initially, Such a laid back but straight talking driving instructor. Told me when I needed to do things however was very calm about everything. He was always on time or just before, I had a great book which was very professional looking that kept me up to date with my progress and also kept a track of my lessons that have been paid for etc. I failed my 1st driving test due to not checking my blind spot a final time before pulling away but with only 3 minors. When I booked up my second test I did not realize that Glen was away on holiday. I phoned the office up, asking if they could help me with a different driving instructor to accommodate me. The office was great, Phoned me back to let me know etc. However Glen was faster and sorted me out with an instructor called Alan. Alan was absolutely amazing too! Went over what I felt i needed to go over to help me with my test. He complimented me on how well I drive and that considering his car was a petrol and I had been driving a diesel I didn't stall and picked it up very well. I passed that time round with 4 minors. So so happy, Definitely A-Class Service! So much that I actually applied for a job there! Thanks Guys. Read Less

Dreadful driving school! My daughter's first lesson was in July last year and all seemed to be well. Unfortunately her instructor moved in January and at that point she told she wasn't far off her test. Fast forward 6 months later and despite having regular 90 mins and 2 hour lessons and driving her own car she still is not ready for her test according to the new instructor Jon. A Class say the average tuition time is 30-40 hours. My daughter is at 70 hours ! We've since moved her to an independent school and after just one lesson with them they have said she is more than ready for her test so have no idea why it has been dragged out for so long. Just feel I've been ripped off all this time. I'm sure they have some good instructors and maybe we just got unlucky with the change of instructors but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. Read Less
