I have done two 2hour lessons so far with my instructor and he has explained everything so well. I don’t get to go out with parents or family on a drive therefore being in the car with my instructor is my first time and have to say I am proceeding very well. He’s calm and helps a lot as well as having a laugh. Whenever I ask a question there’s no hesitation to answer. Highly recommend him.

My instructor is from Chesterfield. From our conversations during my lessons he is clearly someone who enjoys his job and driving in general. I told him my driving experience and he organised my lessons accordingly. He picked up on my faults, praised my attributes and gave me confidence to take the test, which I passed first time. I couldn't have done it without him.

My instructor was plucked out the heavens just for me , I felt at ease learning under his instruction and feel I will be the safest driver I can be as a result. Unlike with other instructors I didn't feel very anxious when I made mistakes , my instructor calmed me down and explained to me constructively how to negotiate the obstacle at the time. In terms of the online driving school interface it was a bit dated and the method of topping up online wasn't immediately clear to me. I am aware that other driving schools have integrated more tech into lessons such as lesson reports and the like.

I was supported all the way. My instructor was easy to talk to which was important to me. He was also very patient on my not so good lessons.

I had a fantastic learning experience with AA. Since i had already been driving in another country for more than 20 years, there was a lot to unlearn from my old skills and then adapt my experience to UK driving regulations. My instructor made the entire learning experience very simple and did a great job of preparing me so well for the test, that i passed with really few minor faults. "Open mind" was the word i was taught, which i carried to the test and will do so forever in everything i do :) I cant think of anything i didn't like, everything was perfect. Huge thanks to AA and my driving instructor.

I also had been learning for years getting bad habits but my instructor was patient and although I still have habits that I can't shake, they didn't interfere with my test and I also passed with couple of minor faults, and when I do these small bad habits I remember my instructor laughing and shaking his head in a nice way!!!

I was very pleased with the driving instruction provided by the AA. My instructor got me up to test standard quickly over a decade after I failed with a private joker company. My AA instructor was calm, reassuring and kind throughout the lessons, with lots of experience, too. Prior to my test, the mock lesson was really helpful and on the day I was put at ease. Thank you for your excellence (and brilliant Fiestas) - I would recommend you to anyone interested in driving. My only criticism is that my original AA instructor (whom I sacked) was persistently late, unreliable and unapologetic. Please stamp out this unacceptable conduct; after all, learners have busy schedules and lives to lead too.

I started of with One instructor and I had a lesson ones a week because of work getting in the way and I was happy with him in the beginning but after a few weeeks he started to cancel my lesson and coming up with last minute excuses with 30 min notice before my lesson! (Bare in mind I had my lessons at 7pm) so being ill was a bad excuse. I let it go the first couple of times but because my practical test was only weeks away I decided to change instructor. The change was easy but they messed up payments because this.. anyway I’m sooo glad I did that as I ended up with a brilliant man who I was able to have a laugh with at the same time and he calmed me down before my test as I was so nervous.. forever greatful to how he helped me pass my test first try!!

I originally planned to do my practical test on Friday January 19th 2018. I have booked a week of driving lessons (10 hours) beforehand. Taking this into account that this is my first time driving again since 4 months of taking a break after failing 2 times on the 2017 Driving practical test. I realized I needed more practice when I tried drive again independently despite not being behind the wheel for 4 months. My Driving Instructor have done this to see where I am on my driving and what I can remember from my previous experience with my last instructor in September 2017. At that moment, I completely forgotten when to change gears, check the mirrors when turning left or right, slowing down when there's a junction, my handle on the steering wheel was twitchy and when turning to a new road, I always cut corners. Within my 20 hours of driving with the AA Driving school, they have turned me from driving under Instructors instructions to driving independently and confidently. Of course there was a learning curve, a few bumps on the progression but my instructor, he made me learn with difficulties such as going on road where it is very busy and narrow, driving around residential area. Surprisingly I haven't scratched or dented the Ford focus Titanium car 1.0 ltr petrol engine. It's because its all down to the quality of your Instructor and the way he teaches. The money i spent in total was £470 and I can tell you this. IT WAS ALL WORTH IT AS I PASSED SORT OF FIRST TIME BUT THIS MY 3RD TIME LUCKY!!!!!. PS - The new driving test is very easy than the one in 2017.

I am very happy that I signed up with AA Driving School. I learnt to drive in an automatic car and passed my test with 32 hours of lessons. I had felt that my first instructor was not the right person for me and AA were very helpful to help me switch to somebody else. My second instructor put me at ease straight away and really helped me to build on my confidence. I am definitely going to be recommending the AA Driving School to my family and friends.

i would definately recommend the AA Driving School because my instructor was positive and patient. also, i passed first time, and i was given many helful tips. my insrtuctor helped to keep me calm before my test. the paymnet bookings with the AA were also very simple and easy to use. my instructors car was easy to drive and she always helped me to overcome anyproblems i had with the driving. mt however, my instructor sometimes turned up a bit late to my lessons.

I passed my driving practical test one time, I highly recommended AA driving school and my DI Ceci, she was so patient and only gave tricks that work to pass test. She was excellent and made my driving experience enjoyable. I’ve given 4 stars only because of the price but somehow it worth the money. Thank you.

My instructor was very patient and professional. He was relax which helped me relax. Good value for money and we worked around my schedule.

Have recommended these guys to one of my friends as they're great. Haven't really had any issues with them. Been with two instructors who were both professional yet friendly and most importantly, very good teachers. One warning is that the lessons usually run for 2 hours as a standard, so learning can become quite expensive, with each 2 hour slot costing £50-54. My teacher was more flexible with this situation, however I'm not certain that all of the teachers would be the same. To add, if you need to change instructors within the AA then this can cause an issue for the student as you need to dedicate your first lesson or two to show your new instructor what stage you're up to and it's not ideal. This situation could perhaps be adapted to save the student the £50-108 along with the 2-4 hours. But overall, I am happy with the outcome so happy days!
