Would recommend 100x over, they make you feel comfortable and relaxed, I was very nervous at first but after my 20 hour course I did, I passed first time with just two minors. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else.

I can’t recommend these enough, the tears the tantrums the panic attacks! The wanting to give up and Simon kept me strong kept me going. 20 hour intense corse with an additional 3 hours and I passed on my 2nd attempt
100% recommend! The theory free app is amazing passed straight away with 50/50. The emotion support and the way I’ve been taught to drive is fantastic I honestly owe so much to Simon. Thankyou again for helping me on my way to freedom for me and my daughter 5* service and team I wish I’d done this years ago

Great driving school! Donna is really helpful and managed to book me a theory test a few months earlier than the one I had booked, then contacted me to ask if I wanted my 20 hour intensive course moved forward because there had been a cancellation.
Having failed my driving test a few times in the past and having not driven for a few years, I was very anxious. However, my instructor, Cindy, was so patient and encouraging, it was more like driving around with my friend! I was a bit worried about doing an intensive course, but the time flew by and by the time my test came around, I felt confident and relaxed.
Thanks BDS, would highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I highly recommend the instructor Liz Holding for any intensive courses!! I’ve LOVED learning in her brand new Mazda 3 too with all the cool features😍 (auto handbrake, windscreen HUD, parking camera, etc)
I had a 20hr intensive course over one week, and Liz gave me the confidence, skills, and knowledge to pass first time, having only ridden motorbikes before.
If anyone is thinking about an intensive course, look no further. Get yourself booked in with Liz ASAP!!

Highly Recommend.
Simon Anson and Chris Hopkins helped me pass my test first time with 0 minors!
Simon with a 20-hour intensive course and Chris with weekly lesson
Both offer very in-depth teaching, they both make you feel very comfortable and they both have great communication to help you pass

I did a 20 hr intensive driving course with Liz Holding this week. Passed today first time! I would definitely Highly recommend Liz. I have been so apprehensive to drive as ive put it off for years, but the first time i met Liz felt comfortable straight away. She was very patient and efficient the whole time and made me feel at ease being such nervous person. Get yourself booked in!

My son passed first time with BDS. 20 hour intensive course over a week preceded by some home instruction had him driving within 90 days of his 17th birthday. Donna was a whizz at all of the bookings and administration whilst Simon was highly professional with a brand new car and turned up to each and every appointment bang on time. I can highly recommend BDS on this basis.
