Mandy Kerr

Mandy provides intensive courses in an Electric Automatic Peugeot 208


Finally passed my driving test today & all thanks to the support and guidance from Mandy who is a fabulous instructor. It had been more than a few years since I’d taken lessons so I decided to book a short intensive course and BDS came highly recommended and they did not disappoint! From my initial enquiry with Donna, to be being put in touch with my instructor Mandy, the communication was great and I had all my queries answered and before I knew it I was booked on the right course for me. As an instructor Mandy was friendly and calm, and had a great way of explaining things to me when I was looking a little confused. Mandy would push me to get the best out of me and ensure that I was driving to the best of my ability which overall has helped me feel more confident on test day! Thanks Mandy for everything, I will miss our lessons. For anyone considering learning to drive, look no further than BDS and I’d 100% recommend Mandy as an instructor!! 🚘

Couldn’t possibly speak any higher of Blackpool Driving school! From initial contact, they were polite, friendly, informative & really competitive in price! As someone who has avoided learning for years & made excuses after excuses, both Donna in the office & my amazing instructor Mandy put me completely at ease & filled me with confidence to get it done! Thank you again Blackpool Driving School & especially Mandy, you are a rockstar xxx

So glad to have learnt with Mandy at BDS Hi. I've been learning to drive with this company for just over a year and found Mandy my instructor was patient, encouraging and fun to learn from. She adapted her teaching style to accommodate my dyslexia and nerves and helped me manage to get over my self-esteem struggles. I passed my theory test and driving tests on the second attempts. This has boasted my confidence. Mandy had taught me not just how to drive but how to drive well and be a polite, aware and assured driver. I look forward to the freedom this brings me as well as the opportunities to support friends in this way. It's opened up so many doors and I'm so glad I went through this learning with Mandy and BDS. Thankyou also to the office team who helped with the process of getting tests etc. Best wishes for all future learners.

Mandy gets a special shout out though as I really enjoyed my lessons with her and I feel like she's helped me to understand how to be a better driver. I've struggled tremendously with driving anxiety and I feel like she really helped me to control it and feel more at ease. She's patient and easy to get on with and I liked having a female instructor.

Absolutely amazing service from start to end. I was extremely nervous about starting my driving and didn't think I could do it, however my driving instructor filled me with confidence and made me believe in myself. I'd really like to thank Mandy for giving me the push I needed to believe in myself. You are truly amazing and I could never thank you for everything you have done for me

Thankyou to my driving instructor I passed my test today something I never believed I could ever do, my nerves was insane right at the beginning of this journey but with the help guidance and patience from my instructor Mandy, who I'm happy too say has now become a friend of mine, none of this would of been possible without her. Mandy told me too believe in myself as she believed in me and that is priceless those words when you feel low and not confident it gives you that little something that lights a fire in you too push you thankyou for everything Mandy most of all thankyou for pushing me and thankyou to team BDS too especially Donna for all her help with finding my perfect instructor I would recommend this company too anybody

“I would like to say a massive thank you to Mandy Kerr. She has been just an incredible teacher! I was really nervous about my skills but she really found a way to build my confidence and gave me some really useful tips on how to deal with my common mistakes. I think she tries to make lessons as personal as possible and it really made a difference! She knows the testing routes inside and out and what i need to look out for but even more than that, she made me feel like i can drive anywhere as I have developed the necessary skills to cope with different driving situations. Mandy really has a way of putting you at ease and making you a confident driver! If you are looking for a driving instructor, I can definitely recommend her even to the most nervous learner driver. Thank you for making me pass on my first try! You are a star Mandy! ⭐️"

Nothing was to much bother for her she helped me start to finish and got me to pass my driving test can not thank her enough.

I just wanted to leave a review for Mandy. I really can’t thank Mandy enough for everything she did for me during my lessons with her, leading me to passing my test. I was incredibly anxious to learn to drive after a bad experience with another company but Mandy put me at total ease straight away. She has such a way of teaching that it just sticks and when it doesn’t she finds another way to explain it. Mandy really treats you and your needs individually and never makes you feel silly regardless of how many times she has to remind you of things or go over things. I felt so comfortable and enjoyed my time learning with Mandy. I really thought after giving up 7 years ago, I’d never go back to it so I really cannot say thank you enough. Thank you so much Mandy, you are an amazing instructor!

I had a 15 hour intensive course with Mandy Kerr and I passed with 6 faults. Mandy was an incredible instructor who knew what to do and doing it in good time. I managed to fit everything that I needed to cover in the 15 hours and I couldn’t have been any happier with the result! Very patient and clear with explaining and was pleasant company

After several unsuccessful years of learning to drive and failed tests , I thought I would never learn to drive and almost gave up trying. Then I was recommended by a friend to try BDS Driving School, and it's the been the best experience. I really enjoyed my lessons because my instructor Mandy Kerr was incredibly patient , and thoughtful with my personal learning ability, and just such a calming presence. I learnt so much from her without even realising it and it all came in so useful when I took my test and passed at the Grand age of 62. Thank you to all the team at BDS too, for keeping me updated as soon as a test was available. I couldn't have asked for better care. I'm so incredibly grateful that BDS Driving School was recommended to me and so happy to at last be a bonafida driver 😁 Anyone wanting to learn to drive, you can do no better than BDS Driving School. I found it a truly great experience.

I booked a driving course with Mandy Kerr. She was incredible. Very patient taught me so much. Went above and beyond and put me at ease. (which isn't easy to do) She is brilliant at being adaptable when it comes to teaching and as a Learning and Development Practitioner I know how much of a valuable skill that flexibility is. I passed my test thanks to Mandys help and guidance. Thank you so much.

I passed my test yesterday morning 21st Oct 23. My driving instructor was Mandy Kerr, being 61 years old I won't say I found it easy, as I didn't. Mandy has the patience of a saint, at times I lacked confidence and did not believe in myself but Mandy was always positive. Mandy helped me to believe in myself and helped me to gain confidence. She never gave up once she kept telling me you can do this. Mandy is very friendly, has a great personality as well as being very professional and makes you feel at ease. She explains things to you in an easy way. I don't think I would have passed without Mandy spurring me on and telling me I can do it.... So a big thank you to you Mandy

My experience with Mandy was the best. She made everything so easily understandable. She had mnemonics for everything with a great sense of humour making my lessons every bit worth it. I’m so glad I passed on my first try. Thank you again Mandy.
