I did a 7 day intensive course with Paul and passed first time with just 2 minors! He was never late, early if anything and was very understanding and reassuring, especially as I lack a lot of confidence! 4 hours behind the wheel every day for a week seems like a lot but with Paul’s sense of humour and friendliness the time flies by and learning to drive is very enjoyable! I will definitely recommend 1st gear to all my friends and family! A really great driving school! Thanks again Paul for all your hard work, Blaine
