Jun 23,2021Well,I can’t explain my happiness and gratitude for Haji Akhter and his Son Zaf who agreed for driving lessons and driving test just one day before my test when Tens of instructors refused me as it was very short notice especially in this busiest most time. Haji Akhter was so nice and kind and his son has definitely got these good traits from his father. I am happy that I passed my test in first attempt so there efforts did not go into waste. I would highly recommend this academy to the learners especially in these uncertain times of pandemic because I am sure they won’t leave you in lurch.They will stay with you and get you passed and that’s what you need. Cheers 🥂 👏

Jun 22,2021First time pass , 1 minor. Started day one with Kamran. Had never driven before so he taught me everything there is to know inside and out of the car , from adjusting your mirrors correctly to what to do in tricky situations on the road. Always came on time for lessons , never cut them short. 100% recomend and if i had to do my driving all over again , this would be where i go!

Jun 11,2021Thank you A1 driving school. Having helped me pass in no time. Passed my test on my first attempt. After having lessons from other instructors, I can genuinely say Haji/A1 driving school are the best around!

Jun 09,2021Having absolutely no knowledge about the UK’s rules made me worry about getting my driving license at the beginning, so I contacted Haji Akhtar and took 11 driving lessons with him where everything was covered including mock exams up until the day of the driving test. He was extremely helpful and patient and I definitely recommend anyone looking for lessons to contact him. You wont be disappointed!

Jun 08,2021From my experience of going through more driving instructors than I care to share on a public platform, I have always believed that many driving instructors know how to drive but don't have the skills to teach driving. I would know, I teach for a living. So believe me when I tell you, you won't get a better driving instructor out than Sonia. She is consistently patient, models what she wants to see, allows you to practise over and over again, encourages you to reflect when things go wrong, so that you can do better. I honestly believe this is the philosophy that the A1 Driving School bases its teaching on. Patience, teach, practise and encourage. Thank you Sonia. For making me drive round and round those roundabouts, for the countless hours we spent in so many different car parks, practising reverse parking till I got it right! Thanks for always working around my childcare and job. I passed the first time because of your teaching.

May 27,2021Today I passed first time thanks to Tan at A1 Driving School! One of the best driving instructors in Derby, always made sure I was confident and helped me to focus on my weaknesses so I was test ready. After having two previous instructors from another driving school that were not suitable for me, Tan really helped to boost my confidence and helped me to pass first time. Would 100% recommend to anybody.

May 11,2021I had a wonderful experience learning to drive with A1 Driving Academy. I can’t thank my instructor, Muazzam, enough for his hard work and dedication. I passed first time thanks to his clear guidance and learning strategies. Thanks again.

Jun 24,2021I passed my test first time with only 1 minor with Usman from A1 driving school. I would like to say thank you to my instructor Usman for building my confidence on the roads and the roundabouts, because of his patience and determination I passed first time! I found all my lessons to be well organised and my instructor went that extra mile to work on my weaknesses in order for me to pass first time. Usman is an amazing instructor who I would highly recommend! Thank you Usman and thank you A1 driving school.
