Fantastic Instructor
I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor. From the very first lesson, he made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His calm and patient approach really helped to ease my nerves, and he always explained things in a way that was easy to understand. His instructions were clear, concise, and tailored to my individual learning style, which made each lesson productive
Thanks to his excellent guidance, I passed my driving test with flying colors!
If you're looking for a top-notch driving instructor who is patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your success, look no further. I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive!

Amazing
I had two instructors before learning with an AA instructor, and honestly she’s on another level. She’s patient, calm, and explains things in a way that finally made driving click for me. I always felt relaxed during lessons and actually enjoyed learning instead of stressing out.
Thanks to her support and encouragement, I passed my test with confidence. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant instructor. Thank you again and keep up your fantastic work.

5 Stars, best driving school by far.
Before trying to learn how to drive with the AA I had tried various driving instructors who lacked professionalism and structure. I decided to take one last shot at learning how to drive and chose the AA and it was the best decision I made. My driving instructor was kind, professional and an amazing teacher - he corrected my mistakes in a polite way and always ensured to focus on what I had done well during my lesson before giving me constructive feedback. He picked up on my learning style fast and catered every lesson to that to ensure I made the best progress. Genuinely one of the best driving instructors out there.

Fantastic Instructor
As a parent (and fee payer) of a brand new driver, I appreciated the instructor for being 100% reliable with lessons, flexible, available after school and at weekends and for her clear communication about progress. Having had other instructors for my older children, this level of service should not be assumed! She showed every patience with my son, was realistic, fair and safe about his readiness, and as a result he passed first time.
We're so happy to hear your Son's Instructor was reliable and taught him effectively. Congrats to your Son on passing first time

AA Driving
I just passed my driving test and I couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of my instructor. From the very first lesson, he was patient, encouraging, and highly knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made sure I was confident in every aspect of driving. I wouldn’t have been able to pass my driving test without his continuous support! I highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive! He’s a great instructor!

Amazing Driving Instructor
She is a wonderful driving instructor. Finding the right instructor hasn’t been easy for me, but learned more in that one session than I had in ten with others. She puts her whole heart into teaching, genuinely cares about her students, and pays close attention to my progress, strengths, and areas that need improvement. Her lessons are always clear, well-structured, and I’ve never once felt my time was wasted. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I loved my time with the AADS
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?
