Nov 27,2023Tanzeel was respectful, calm, honest, professional & methodical - a very good driving instructor. I passed 1st time with him and with only 3 minors. Don’t waste your time and money with the cowboys out there, choose A1.

Nov 26,2023Was struggling with another driving school, came to Zaf at short notice and had a few lessons and passed with Zaf. Best instructor in Derby no cap. Would recommend A1 to any students out there looking to learn 100%.

Nov 22,2023Passed - First Attempt With Saima and A1❤️ Saima is an exceptional driving instructor who played a pivotal role in my success on my first attempt at the driving test. Her dedication, positivity, and passion for teaching are truly commendable. Saima not only invested her time but also infused me with the confidence and motivation needed to overcome nerves. Her patience, encouragement, and adaptability made each lesson enjoyable and effective. I can't thank Saima enough for her unwavering support and guidance. Passing the test still feels surreal, but it's a testament to Saima's expertise and commitment to her students' success. To anyone looking for an instructor who truly cares about your progress, I highly recommend Saima. If I could succeed under her guidance, you definitely can too.

Nov 22,2023I started learning with A1 instructor in last August, Saima is my second instructor as I struggled to understand my first one. Saima is very patient and very informative when teaching. I was having problems with roundabouts at the beginning, I couldn’t understand where I did wrong with it. Saima kindly offered demonstration all the time showing me the correct way to approach it. Her demonstration helps me to grasp the idea of driving in all situations. She is also familiar with all the Derby test routes and keep you updated on any roads work. I have just passed today thankfully with her car. If you are like me struggling to understand instructions verbally, Saima will be your best bet!

Nov 18,2023100% recommend training with a1, zaf in particular. Huge difference between zaf and other instructors he really knows his stuff. Prepared me by giving me the relevant theory and applying which I wasn’t told beforehand by other training providers.

Nov 14,2023I would highly recommend A1 driving school. Kamran was my instructor. He really helped me become a confident driver and taught me some good driving techniques. I will definitely be recommending him to family & friends for a Pass.

Nov 12,2023Tan is an amazing driving instructor. He was always so calm and reassuring which helped me become more confident and reduced any stress I previously had about driving as I was really anxious about it! He was always patient and very accommodating around organising lessons to suit my schedule. I passed my driving test today, first time! I now feel confident to drive independently and it’s all thanks to Tanzeel (tan). I would highly recommend him, thank you again!

Nov 12,2023I passed my driving test yesterday with Sonia. She is an amazing instructor ever. She is patient, her instructions are clear, she is good at encouraging and helping me to build my confidence all the time. Her goal is to raise good drivers. You'd be lucky to have Sonia as your driving instructor. I honestly couldn’t have done this without her. I highly recommended her. Thank you soo much for all your help. God bless you🥰

Oct 28,2023Harbir is the best around. Helped me learn all of the basics from start the finish. Also helped me understand all of the advanced skills. Not only is he a teacher, And never once gave up on me even when I was struggling. He helps you develop into a good driver. I highly recommend Habir and a very good teacher. This all added up and allowed me to pass my driving test first time.
