Big shout out to Ken, my daughter was initially nervous to learn to drive. Ken worked with her and in no time built up her confidence. She passed with no minor points. Highly recommend The-Driving-Academy - Kelly-Ann Hinder

Peter Williams perfect instructor had such a blast and passed first time. Explained everything perfectly and was bubbly and chatty to keep you confident and calm. would rate 6/5 if i could - George Lamb George Lamb - Bishop Auckland

I changed instructors to Peter and he was so friendly and funny, I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. I passed first time with Peter, he's really helped me grow my confidence within driving and I appreciate all the help and advice he's given me. Thank you so much!! 🚗 - Ellie Grant Ellie Grant - Bis

I had Ken as my instructor and he was a star!! He was so patient with me which really helped boost my confidence in driving! I'm over the moon about my pass thank you so much 💖 I 100% recommend The-Driving-Academy - Miriam Nyakato Miriam Nyakato - Bis

Joanna was my instructor- so patient and kind! She always helped me feel at ease and supported me to pass first time. I am very grateful and couldn't have asked for a better instructor - Tammy Tyler Tammy Tyler - Stanhope Bishop Auckland

Passed my test with ease only 3 months into driving, Darran was extremely patient with my progress and explained everything extremely well. The under 17 classes are very valuable too.... They teach a lot and give a big boost towards driving for the first time on the roads! - Jake Ward Jake Ward - Bishop Auckland

I highly recommend The-Driving-Academy. My son had lessons with Darran and my son at the time suffered bad with anxiety. Darran kept him calm and took the lessons at my son's own pace. He's now passed his driving test at his 1st attempt and loving his new found freedom - Lindsay Johnson Matthew Johnson - Bishop Auckland

Passed first time with Adam, would highly recommend - Jack Facey Jack Facey - Durham

Fantastic company!! Couldn't have passed without the help from my amazing instructor Joanna. Taught me everything in an excellent manner and helped me ace my Test 😁 - Jess Swales Jess Swales - Ram

I learnt to drive with Andy and I truly couldn't have asked for a better instructor! I was with Andy for a couple of Under 17s lessons and those massively helped my confidence before getting on the main roads! I've almost been passed for a year and would really recommend Andy and the rest of The-Driving-Academy - Bethany O'Neil Bethany O'Neil - Bishop Auckland
