Good Points: -Give this driving school a try, you will be glad you did!

Bad Points: -Nil

General comments: - Desperate times call for desperate measures and that is what led me to Select Driving School. I needed a driving license urgently for work and with the time swiftly ticking by, I went online. After hours of reading about various driving schools ' Select 'stood apart for its consistently positive reviews. - I called them with the available dates I could take from work, my contact details, previous driving experience and my requirements. I got the answer phone initially but then the response came within 24hours.- The person I dealt with was friendly, professional and encouraging. He had done his research, discussed my requirements further and already had the name of my instructor when he called. - An email was promptly sent out that day for me to complete with my driving history, experiences and contact details.- I opted for the silver course. My instructor promptly contacted me before the sessions. He was friendly had clear goals for each session at greatly put me at ease. - The lessons themselves were intense but excellent. The instructor was prompt and even early. The goals for each day were clearly stated and achieved. He was professional, reliable, offered clear instruction, and taught and encouraged appropriately. - He broke down the manoeuvers to easily remembered segments. He even had a notebook of pictures and instructions. They were the appropriate toilet and lunch breaks and the lessons involve different driving conditions which gave me great confidence, e.g. town driving and country driving.- All of this would mean nothing if I could not get a lesson in time and pass. It was here that Select Driving School really came through. We couldn ' t get a lesson immediately after my sessions, but we sat down with my Rota to see when I could be available for the practical test Select Driving pulled off the miracle! He even managed to get me a lesson in my own area, within 5 days of the sessions finishing. My instructor met me at 7am the morning of the test, took me through everything again and thankfully I passed.- Overall, finding Select Driving School was a leap of faith into the dark, based on positive online internet reviews by others. I am very happy to add myself to this list and glad to do so! Give them a try and see for yourself, I certainly did! You will not be disappointed.

I failed my test twice 13 years ago and lost my confidence and motivation after that. I chose the intensive ten day Prestige course to keep my motivation high and allow myself to do pretty much nothing but drive for two weeks. I didn't have a car to practice on between lessons so really appreciated that intensity of tuition. My instructor was excellent. I passed first time and would highly recommend Select to anyone who wants to learn to drive, whatever your ability or past experience.

I passed first time with Select Driving School after completing an intensive course. Advertised as one of the top end and best driving schools; the school had a lot to live up to but exceeded my expectations in every category. My instructor immediately put me at ease in the car, explaining the mechanics of the car which made me aware of what each control did and gave me confidence. My instructor was extremely friendly and always stayed in contact (regardless of time, weekend or night) about less ...

I passed my driving test today, this was my final day of a six day course booked with Select Driving School. My instructor was excellent and put me at ease from the very first day. I had failed three previous tests and from what I know now I had had some bad instruction. However with a clean sheet and six days of driving ahead of me I was a little nervous. The lessons were perfect and tailor made so I could drop the children all of at school and be collected from my home and returned before they ...

I never thought I would become a driver. Now I am driving into and out of work, and loving the freedom. I leave home when I am ready. No waiting for someone to pick me up.
Select Driving School have given me that independence, I could not have passed my test without Phil's help.
The VW EOS is a lovely car, and a dream to drive. Although I am doing o.k. in my Nissan!
Select Driving School has turned my life around, I am over fifty and driving is something I thought I would never achieve. Thanks S ...

Select Driving School had exactly what I was looking for; knowledgeable, competent, friendly, encouraging and experienced instructors along with an array of intensive courses to suit any need.
I had to wait until they had availability for the intensive course I wanted, but it was worth it. I passed my test at the first time!. I really recommend Select Driving School as a place where you learn the skills you need to be confident the road and just not to pass the test. They are worth every penny. ...

Summer was approaching quickly and i needed a car license quickly before i would return to my home country. When i contacted select driving school they were very friendly and suggested which of their courses i should select in order to get me to the correct level to pass the test. I ended up taking the 8 day deleuxe course which i initially thought was expensive, however the quality of teaching as well as the experience made it well worthwhile. After all that is why i chose select driving school ...

I have recently passed with Select Driving School. I had regular lessons and managed to pass first time. Instructors were friendly and put me at ease straight away. I found that the lessons were easy to book, well planned and also enjoyable.
The lessons were well priced for the experiences you gain, I was relaxed and not at all nervous, like my previous experience.
The lessons wre tailor made to fit my individual needs which enabled me to progress at my own pace.
I can't sing Select Driving S ...

Select Driving School in Woodford Green is the best driving school I came across whilst learning to drive. I had previously tried other intensive courses around the country and failed the test but select were very helpful and patient and under their tuition and guidance I then passed after just a few weeks. I would definately recommend them!

I've got nothing but good things to say about my experience with Select Driving School. Having initially undertaken driving lessons when I was 17, I did a one-week intensive course after a gap of 11 years and passed first time. My instructor was patient, friendly and clearly very experienced and the whole process was unstressful and successful. They are the first to admit that they are not the cheapest driving school but I can vouch that you really do get what you pay for. A big thumbs up from m ...

They are a professional and friendly team at Select Driving School. My instructor taught me efficiently and patiently how to drive, I chose the hours that suited me and the course was tailored very well to match my learning curve. The office was reliable and booked my lessons and tests with no hassle. The charming country roads and junctions of Brentwood were the perfect place to learn and, having never driven before, after a four week intensive course I passed first time.
