'Allan is a fantastic, patient and supportive instructor. As previous reviewers have said, Allan will explain things as often as it takes and is a calming influence when you feel flustered. Allan is able to make you feel relaxed and focused at the same time when you are driving and I would not have passed without his expertise and motivation. Always able to find the positive for you to take from a situation when you do it wrong. For mature learners like myself (40+) I would definitely recommend Allan. Thanks for everything Allan." Kerry, Eastbourne

"I definitely recommend choosing Allan and Begin Driving! In fact I have been recommending already :) Allan is a great instructor! I miss our gossip during lessons ;) So, if you are looking for an instructor that will be patient and understanding, someone who will explain something 10 times and still be happy to do it for eleventh time if needed and also is fun - Allan is the person you are looking for! Thank you very much!" Dominika, Eastbourne

"I would definitely recommend learning to drive with Allan, I enjoyed my lessons as I felt relaxed and he was great at explaining everything to help me improve.

CUSTOMER REVIEW FOR OUR INSTRUCTOR TRACEY

“Tracey was absolutely brilliant during my learning experience, especially as I started off very nervous! I honestly couldn't recommend her enough. She was always patient, understanding and supportive, while still being able to push me enough to make me realise what I was capable of. She always knew how to make me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel, and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. Thanks to her, I ended up passing first time! I can't thank her enough.”

🚗🎉 Another Begin Driving Success Story! 🎉

We love receiving feedback from our instructor trainees! 💙 David has kindly shared his experience with Begin Driving and his journey to becoming a fully qualified ADI.

We’re so proud of his achievement and grateful for his lovely words. Thank you, David! 👏

“I would like to say a massive thank you to Allan and Jane at Begin Driving for all their support, guidance, patience, and encouragement throughout my journey to becoming a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor (ADI). 🚗🎉

Becoming an ADI has been a journey that has required hard work, dedication, determination, and a willingness to learn. Having the right people supporting me along the way has made such a huge difference, and I'm incredibly grateful to you both for the time, effort, and knowledge you've shared with me.

Thank you, Allan, for your guidance, advice, and for helping me develop the skills, confidence, and understanding needed to become a professional driving instructor. And thank you, Jane, for your continued support, encouragement, and for helping me stay focused and motivated throughout the process.

Your professionalism, experience, and belief in me have played a big part in helping me achieve this goal. The support I've received from Begin Driving has been invaluable, and I truly appreciate everything you have both done to help me reach this important milestone.

I'm proud to have achieved my qualification and excited to begin the next chapter of my journey, helping others learn to drive safely and confidently.

Thank you both once again. I couldn't be more grateful for your help and support, and I would highly recommend Begin Driving to anyone looking to pursue a career as an Approved Driving Instructor.

Thank you, Allan and Jane, for helping me turn this ambition into reality!” 🙏👏🚘

At Begin Driving, instructor training is at the heart of building our team. Seeing our trainees progress from their first steps as a PDI through to qualifying as an ADI is something we’re incredibly proud of.
