Based in Bristol, he's built a team that's known for helping nervous beginners and achieving a high first-time pass rate. They cover Bristol, Bath, Warminster, Weston-super-Mare, and Portishead, offering both manual and automatic lessons. Alan's approach is all about giving back, too, with free lessons for less privileged students every Tuesday or Wednesday. His instructors, like Stewart, Donna, Jack, Glynn, Tanya, Matt, Paul, and Byron, get rave reviews for being patient, professional, and genuinely supportive. Students say they feel confident and well-prepared, not just to pass the test but to drive safely for life. With an active YouTube channel and a handy app to track your progress, it's clear Alan's focused on making learning accessible and effective.

Donna is an absolute legend as my driving instructor, she transformed me from a nervous novice to a confident driver. Her patience, expertise, and encouragement paid off in the best way possible I passed my test on the FIRST ATTEMPT 😀 Donna's teaching style is tailored to your needs, and she'll push you to be your best. I'm forever grateful for her guidance and support. If you're looking for a driving instructor who truly cares about your success, look no further than Donna she's the best.
Donna is a brilliant instructor and such a nice person! Very happy with my lessons. Thank you so much <3
Great service, My instructor jack lovely guy and great at teaching in a safe and engaging way, Passed nice and swiftly and feel in a great position with my driving going forward, would definitely recommend for any new learners!
A big thanks to Glynn and mister Fordy for the help! It took a while and a few months of struggles but I went from 0 experience to a first time pass. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area trying to get ahold of driving safely and looking to pass their tests!
Switching to Fordy's driving school was the best decision I made! Matt was amazing, he was thorough, patient and had loads of tips and tricks. I learned so much more in a few lessons with him than I did before switching. Highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, encouraging,
