BDS driving school have been fantastic for me! Simon is wonderful, very patient with me got me passed in no time. Lovely, friendly and re assuring people. Would highly recommend them as a school. If weekly lessons aren’t for you this is definitely the best option.

Just completed a 30 hour intensive course with Cindy, the week started as a disaster as I was suffering horrendous ear ache and felt so Ill from the night I arrived (as I’m not local). my first day I didn’t say anything and went through but in the last hour I did and Cindy showed me to the walk in after our day on the road where I was for 4 hours to No avail….. I was gutted and felt it was a waste off money because off how bad I felt this stayed for 95/ off my time but we dug in and Cindy was 100/ professional she helped me with everything I questioned and Re-covered anything I was not 100/ sure on. Come Friday (test day) and breezed through with 2 minors first time round a massive thank you to Cindy and BDS I couldn’t recommend them enough

Over the moon to have passed my test earlier in the week. I’d like to thank BDS Driving school and in particular my excellent instructor liz who I now regard as my friend. Liz is fantastic very patient and her experience and knowledge and calming influence were major factors in getting me to pass. Once again heartfelt thanks to BDS and the wonderful liz, I couldn’t have wished for a better instructor she is amazing. 😀

I just passed my test after doing the 30 hour intensive course with Simon Anson – definitely recommend as a very patient instructor who is easy-going and explains things very well.I have found learning to drive probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done – I left it late in life (38) because of issues relating to my autism, but I really wanted the independence and freedom of being able to drive. I’d tried several instructors before but the intensive course made such a difference in giving me the confidence behind the wheel, and helped everything click into place. It’s definitely the best way to learn if driving doesn’t come naturally to you.
