5/5 stars, and well earned. I learned with Darran Shaw and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to drive. At the start I was very hesitant whilst driving but now I feel like I was taught how to drive, not just how to pass a test. Not only did he teach me to drive but he also taught me tips on looking after cars for when I get one of my own, Overall it was a very good experience and I couldn’t be more thankful of the Driving Academy and Darran for helping to achieve my 1st time pass, thank you again! – Matthew Edgar

Absolutely fantastic driving school. Andy is an amazing instructor, extremely patient and I honestly don’t think I’d have been able to pass without him. Also amazing with my 14 year old who is doing the under 17 driving lessons. Would highly recommend him and the rest of the driving instructors at The Driving Academy! Thank you again, I’ll miss our weekly outings – Jacquie Gilbey
