I had never seen myself as a driver and, if anything, was desperate to get it out of the way asap. I had a few lessons with Paul as soon as I hit 17 as he had also successfully taught my sister. I did a five day intensive over the Christmas holidays , which was so tiring but so beneficial as you don’t have the time to forget your mistakes. I didn’t feel there was any pressure to pass first time at all, and I realise what a good learning experience I’ve had compared to my friends that are with other schools! So, amazingly, it was two months and three days from my first lesson I passed my first test! Thanks so much!!

I had the 12 hour course over 3 days, and to be honest, I was worried that I wouldn’t pass before I did the course with Dave. But he was a very good instructor and patient, and I passed first time with 2 minors! Would recommend the course to everybody!
