Massive thank you
He is the most incredible instructor. I was an anxious driver for months with other instructors and he gave me the confidence to pass my test (with 1 minor) in just 5 lessons with him. Top guy who is genuinely invested in getting you passed rather than taking your money for months. Great company but also very serious about what he does. He will get you on the road and you’ll have a good time on the way there.

The Best Instructor
Today, I had the pleasure of passing by driving test. I tested in Sevenoaks and came out with 2 minors, I could not have asked for a better teacher to allow me the next step in my life. Thank you, the AA are lucky to have you!

Passed on first try
He was a very calm, considered, and informative instructor who puts his students at ease and understands what they need to progress. Would very much recommend him and his car for anyone learning Automatic. His teaching style allowed me to pass my driving test on the first try!

Passed first time!
I passed my driving test today and want to say a big thank you!! I started as a complete beginner in September, but he was very patient, calm, and encouraging throughout my whole time learning to drive.
Our lessons made me prepared for any situation I encountered on the test. I’m super grateful for all his support, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive in Cardiff!
Congratulations on passing your driving test! Thank you for sharing such wonderful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear your instructor was patient, calm, and encouraging throughout your learning journey. It’s great to know the lessons helped you feel fully prepared for your test.

Q&A
I am not happy with my instructor and would like to change it. Do you know a good AA instructor in South Ealing/Brentford?
I'm considering taking up a franchise as an AA driving instructor. Reading through this thread there are a multitude of similar bad experiences, primarily relating to the conduct of the instructors'
I've also noticed that on a majority of these posts the AA have replied with comments which indicates to me a desire from them to improve and listen.
My question as a prospective 'Franchisee' is this:
Would you as a parent or student choose the AA Driving School as a preferred provider based on their reputation and how much would the ratings in this thread influence your decision to use them?
There are several companies out there that offer a franchise solution; RED being another popular one. I'd be interested to get some feedback on this so I could at least feel that I would be choosing the right organisation to train with.
At this point in time I'm inclined to choose the AA purely based on its long standing reputation and that any other schools (including RED) are likely to have both good and bad instructors too.
Any tips about test centres between Cannock and Wednesbury? Which one is best place to take my test?
Has anyone had a I instructor from Lichfield or Sutton Coldfield in West Midlands? Any bad experiences?
