Mar 18,2024My instructor Manny Usman helped me pass my test in Derby. I had many weak areas but he patiently worked with me on them. He also worked around my full time job schedule. The best choice for learning how to drive and passing the test in my opinion.

Mar 15,2024I have been driving with Harbir for the best part of 6 months. Every lesson I had I’ve left with a smile. Harbir is an absolute pleasure to have as an instructor and he could not be any better! If I ever did anything wrong we would go over it a few times to make sure I understood my mistake and it would make me a more confident driver. I have had 3 instructors and harbir is by far the best. The lessons are reasonably priced and definitely worth it in my opinion.

Mar 15,2024Courteous, excellent, fair & reasonable, professional and...kind. The fees were reasonable and affordable. Faz was my instructor and I couldn't be more pleased and thankful for my experience, and eager to recommend him and A1 Driving Academy Ltd to your attention. Faz's father, the founder of the company answered my phone call when I couldn't get through to any other driving school. I'm 68, an American lifelong driver newly resident here. Faz assessed my skills and over 5 lessons prepared me to pass my practical test yesterday. I found Faz gentle, respectful, diligent, a pleasure to know and interact with. He's the sort of chap we'd all like to have among our friends. I felt in very capable hands and that I was very fortunate to have landed with A1. Thank you Faz!!

Mar 13,2024A1 driving school This driving school i would definitely recommend, they gave me everything needed and helped me pass first time with no minors. I can’t thank faz enough for taking time to give me extra lessons closer to my test. If you want a reliable driving school i would recommend A1.

Mar 12,2024Usman Hashmi has been the best instructor as he let’s you to take off without stopping or interrupting or interfering irrelevantly. Highly recommended.

Mar 08,2024I would like to take the opportunity to thank A1 Driving Academy, and specially to my Instructor, Usman Manny he was absolutely Wonderful, he had put in so much effort and time to make it happen so I can pass my driving. There was so many times when I wanted to give up and he gave me a hope, taking lessons with him, I realised one thing he wasn’t just there to make money, he did not waste any time,He was there for me as a teacher, he was so flexible with my schedule it’s unbelievable. I will definitely recommend Usman . He is the best you can get. 🤗🤗🤗 thank you sooo much usman.

Mar 08,2024Had a lesson booked in 3 weeks in a row. Got let down 10 minutes prior to each lesson 1 time was apparently a family emergency the following two times was an issue with the car. Contacted the company to switch drivers and to complain which took quiet a while to get a response then when I did rest assured I was offered some free lessons that I haven’t received booked in a lesson for another instructor not to turn up. 4 weeks in a row. 5th week lesson booked in again and this time I ended up being poorly which I informed the instructor following night my son ended up up falling poorly which I texted him apologised and asked to do two hours following week! No text back texted again to book in no text back. I will be going with another company they had enough time and chances to redeem themselves I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS WHOLE COMPANY AS A WHOLE. Lol can let you down when they want re book you in to do the same thing soon as I fall poorly and my son no response! SHAMBLES weeks up and running to my test which they are well aware off. Left a bad review after 3rd lesson was cancelled again got told to remove it offered free lessons new instructor and none of the above has been done yet again. I won’t be removing this post Lack of communication.DO NOT RECOMMEND MOHAMMED OR FAZ

Mar 06,2024I took driving lessons with Mo from A1 to prepare for my test and had a great time. Mo has been very patient with instructing me, which was very helpful as prior to learning with him, I had zero driving experience. He's been very good at addressing particular challenges I had with driving, and ensured that I was confident with all road types and driving conditions. Thanks Mo and A1!

Mar 06,2024I passed today with Manny Usman, he was absolutely amazing; professional, on time and very knowledgeable. My lessons were very smooth, informative and educational. Despite being told I was not ready for my test with another instructor, Manny believed in my driving and after only a 3 day notice, I have passed with only 2 minors!

Feb 20,2024I had a good experience with A1 instructor Tanzeel, he was so patient and explained everything thoroughly whilst teaching me. Made me feel confident on the roads. He is reliable, honest and an experienced instructor. If i made any mistakes he was relaxed and made sure to iron out any recurring errors. He is wonderful to learn from and I highly recommend him.

Mar 23,2024A1 is a brilliant company to start with! My instructor was Mo. He is a very good instructor and teaches you everything you need to know. He tells you when you are ready for your test, and prepares you well for it. My experience with Mo was brilliant. I highly recommend A1 and Mo🙌🏽
