Aug 25,2023I passed my driving today on my second attempt with only 2 minors. This is all thanks to Sonia. She is an excellent instructor, who is calm, patient and explains everything really well! I made a lot of mistakes while I was practicing but Sonia always explained in detail using videos/images and drawings along with verbal explanations to help me to understand. I really couldn’t have done it without her, I would highly recommend Sonia if you are looking for a dedicated teacher to help you too pass! A huge thank you and I will miss my lessons❤️

Aug 24,2023I passed first time today with only 3 minors because of the BEST DRIVING INSTRUCTOR IN THE BUSINESS…TAN (Tanzeel)!!! Tan is one of the most patient and supportive driving instructors anyone could ever ask for and it was his discipline in driving that made sure my mistakes were always corrected, I understood what I was doing, I was calm while driving…and that is why I was able to pass first time (with only 3 minors) today! One of the things that surprised me about Tan is that he doesn’t just teach you all the tips and tricks on how to pass your test, but also how to be a safe, calm and collected driver on the roads! It’s been an honour to have been taught by him and I wish him all the best in his career (he’s a great laugh too)!

Aug 22,2023I passed my driving practical test at the first time. My instructor Osman Hashmi did amazing job, he taught me how to drive and corrected my all mistakes and shown me the best ways to drive and he also let me drive at the correct roads which so similar in the test. I am so thankful to Osman and A1 academy. I advise to everyone who is planning to get driving license🙂. They are very helpful to teach how to drive. They really know well how to teach and how to communicate with the learners. Thank you very much to Osman Hashmi and A1 Academy.

Aug 15,2023I'm grateful to Muazzam Tariq, my driving instructor. I would absolutely recommend him as I was able to pass the first time. He is a terrific instructor and has a lively personality that helped the classes flow. This allowed me to feel at ease and confident while driving knowing I was in great hands.

Aug 11,2023Due to A1, I have been able to pass my driving test. I came from another instructor and Faz took me in and gave me consistent lessons until I have passed my test. I am very pleased with the way I’ve been taught by Faz, I highly recommend him as he will be sure to make you confident with you driving!

Aug 03,2023I passed my test first time with only 1 minor with Tan! Tan was a great instructor, he’s very professional and makes you feel at ease. He’s worked hard to ensure he can fit my lessons around my busy work schedule and I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn. Thank you for all of your hard work and support Tan!

Jul 21,2023Thankyou to my driving instructor Ferzana! Without you I wouldn’t have been able to become a confident driver and pass on my first attempt. Ferzana was very encouraging throughout my lessons and was able to keep me calm and focused to ensure I gained the correct skills I needed. She is amazing when giving information throughout the lessons and made it easy to understand. Ferzana had lots of pattience and would kindly direct me through faults and mistakes. What I liked best was ferzana was flexible and accommodating when arranging lessons and if I needed to change time slots. I cannot recommend ferzana enough as a driving instructor Thankyou so much for all your support and help over the last year.

Jul 19,2023Not sure I would choose this company! One of their cars just overtook me as I was preparing to overtake a bus that had pulled up at a bus stop. What an idiot. If that is what they teach then avoid at all costs.

Jul 18,2023I took lessons with Zaf from A1. I’ve had other instructors before but with Zaf he took his time to explain everything and why I had to do each step. Most importantly rather than focus on passing the test he made sure I would also be a good driver once I had passed. All round I can’t fault the company who helped me to pass and I would recommend A1 to anyone who needs an instructor, especially Zaf as a driving instructor.
