From the moment I reached out to Pass Driving School, I received prompt and professional customer service from both Claire & John so I knew I was on to a winner.
Having passed my test in an auto a few years ago, I decided that I wanted a manual licence (for several reasons) but had previously found the gears so confusing and difficult. I am also not the most experienced or confident of drivers so I was really quite anxious.
The first few lessons were really challenging for me but my instructor John was very patient and put me at ease. I have a real lack of confidence which John picked up on right

Having never driven a manual car I was really nervous to do so, I started with my driving instructor Patrick Garner just before the pandemic and he made me feel very assured and pushed me to learn a lot of skills in a short period of time. He was very patient and encouraged me to just be calm on the road and trust in my ability. Having had lots of stops and starts it was difficult to spend so much time not being about to do any lesson due to COVID, but I finally was able to pass my driving test this summer after many cancelled/rearranged driving tests! Would 100% recommend Pass Driving School.

Karen Heywood is the gold standard for driving instructors. 10 driving hours ago, in tears, gripped by anxiety caused by a car accident that hospitalised me and apprehensive about who my driving instructor would be (I've had several awful ones), I met Karen.
Whether you are a beginner learner, looking for refresher lessons, anxious after a car accident, looking for confidence, whatever it is that you need, Karen Heywood is the answer. Her ability to teach you the technical side of driving goes without saying, she will break everything down into bitesized managable steps, make you get out of the

Steve is an incredible instructor! with his knowledge and guidance on driving, I managed to pass first time.
My main issue was with my confidence and independence when driving, Steve helped me overcome this and I now feel a huge sense of relief and excitement that I have passed, especially during the busy test period due to Covid-19.
Steve was the best instructor I could have asked for and I would recommend him to anyone!

I want to say a huge thank you to Karen and Fliss for helping me out pass my driving test.
Karen is an excellent driving instructor. She is patience, professional and highly experienced. I spend most lessons with Karen, and I appreciated her constructive feedback and her friendly teaching method, which made the class enjoyable. In the end, due to the COVID circumstances where she has to isolate for ten days. She made the process seamless by handing over the remaining lessons to Fliss, for which I am grateful.
I only had a few lessons with Fliss, but from my experience, she is very knowledgeable

Very helpful, Pass Driving school allowed me to pass first time after a complication with my previous instructor and the DVSA. Pass was able to fit me several lessons in a different car and gain suitable confidence with the vehicle in just a week thanks to the effective professionalism of John and Aaron. Very happy and thankful for my time spent with the school.
