Client Reviews – Manual Intensive Courses

I had a driving instructor called Tim. Tim is such a great instructor to have he really motivated me to do the best to my ability! I had never been in the drivers side of car before and never had any lessons but within two weeks with Tim I passed my driving test first time!!!!! He is such a great person and instructor! I feel like without him I would not have passed my test today with just two weeks of lessons. Whoever has Tim as an instructor will be very lucky and will fly through their test (trust me I know, I was a right pain in the neck but still passed first time with only 5 minors). Pick Tim as a driving instructor and you wont be sorry. Good luck to you alllll!

My first day of the intensive course was a lot of fun! My instructor Kevin is a chilled out guy who knows how to create a relaxed atmosphere. This being said, he is also very focused and can tell me honestly where I need to improve so that I am progressing as quickly as possible. What a day!

Alastair Trump - Guildford, Surrey (3rd April 2012)

I passed my test on Monday 26th March my instructor was very patient with me as I am not A teenager and had many a bad habit. The patience showed towards me by George was excellent and got me my licence. My instructor communicated with me on all levels with regards to driving. I would also like to say Holly at the head office was extremely helpful and very polite. Thanks to all at Britannia.

Had Lee as my instructor. Was very happy with him. He was patient, friendly and I felt comfortable driving with him and he helped me to pass my test first time.

George Pardoe - Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex (23rd March 2012)

Had Vinni as my driving instructor and he was great. An amazing teacher, would recommend him to anyone who is starting to drive. He got me a first time pass (was a miracle). He’s the best!

Isabella Pearce - Tooting, London (22nd March 2012)

I had an instructor named Kevin! He has been a great help to get me to pass. I started off with no knowledge of driving and with a previous bad experience that made me not want to learn to drive, but with his help he gave me the confidence to learn. By the end of the week after an intensive course I was able to pass my test. At the start of the week I didn’t expect to pass but through Kevin’s teaching and tutoring I was able to pass with only 6 minors. So a big thank you for what you did and getting me to pass. Couldn’t have done it without you!

I had a fantastic experience with Britannia Driving School. I did an intensive driving course and the whole process was really easy. Everything was done over the phone and they even booked my test date for me. The school website is really useful, you can find great tips and videos to prepare for your driving test. My instructor Kevin, was also fantastic. Thanks to him I passed my test first time after a one week intensive course. He ensured I was very well prepared and that I was at a level above and beyond what the examiners expect. The lessons were enjoyable and Kevin creates a relaxed atmosphere to make you at ease. He is very passionate about teaching and that becomes really obvious in the way he conducts the lessons. I was so happy with my overall experience that I have booked Pass Plus lessons with Kevin to build up my confidence on the road. I definitely recommend Britannia Driving School!

Caroline Leblanc - Aldershot, Surrey (15th March 2012)

I booked a 27 hour Intensive Course with Britannia. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone. I had only a little driving experience and had 4 hours of driving for six days, followed by my test 2 days later. My instructor was brilliant!! I passed my test with no minor faults and it was a testament to the way he taught me.

Lee Kettle - Shepherds Bush, London (14th March 2012)

Neil is an awesome instructor. I had a six day intensive course with him and I passed first time. I hadn’t had a lesson in 14 years!!! His passive attitude, cool demeanor and great tuition made me feel calm and relaxed even when things did get a little tense, (learning to drive is not easy). On top of all this, I had left my sunglasses in his car and he posted them back to me, he’s a TOP BLOKE!!!!

Daniel Byrne - Battersea, London (4th March 2012)

I had Neil for a 5 day intensive, hes a great bloke who got me through with only 1 minor, put me at ease an i felt fully prepared for my test, 5 star!!!

Jack Cowan - Fulham, London (3rd March 2012)

Special thanks to my driving instructor Kevin and all at Britannia Driving School! A couple of days ago, I passed the practical driving test with zero faults. Prior to the exam, I took the intensive driving course offered by Britannia because I wanted to take the test with the lessons I’d learned still fresh in my mind. This methodology of learning, in my case, worked profoundly well. Kevin is an extremely thorough instructor and I credit this aspect of his teaching to my perfect score. Furthermore, he was able to carry out intensive teaching without making the classes overly stressful. I recommend Kevin and Britannia Driving School to any prospective learner keen on maximising his/her chances of passing the exam.

Benito Keiderling - Greenwich, London (1st March 2012)

I booked an intensive course with Neil at Britannia. I already had literally hundreds of hours of lessons with another school and had only applied for 1 practical test (which I failed miserably). I found Neil’s teaching very relaxing, professional and he explained everything perfectly. Before I could never do a reverse around the corner, but thanks to Neil’s reference points I did it perfectly almost every time! He taught me exactly what I needed to know instead of complicating things with extra information. I passed with only 4 minors and I am very thankful for Neil being my instructor. I would definitely recommend him!

Gabriella Cantelo - West Byfleet, Surrey (27th February 2012)

The intensive driving course along with my instructor helped me clearly understand how to pass my practical driving test, gave me a lot of driving experience in a short amount of time and significantly improved my safety and confidence.

Luke Turner - Chertsey, Middlesex (20th February 2012)

First Class!!!! I would like to thank Neil for all his work with me. He picked me up after my first instructor at another school had a serious illness. Right from the start I found his laid back style very helpful as it put me at ease with him from day one. I did not pass first time, it was second for me, but I think what helped me the second time was how Neil indentified very quickly the areas where I had gone wrong the first time and I flew through on the second time. Thank you Neil.

Peter Hall - Slough, Berkshire (11th February 2012)

I just want to say a big thank you to Paul and Britannia for their patience and expertise in helping me pass my driving test. I originally had lessons with a local driving school but was not happy with their driving instructor so decided to try somewhere new. Once I started lessons with Paul I noticed a dramatic improvement in my confidence and ability within only a few lessons. The quality of instruction at Britannia by far surpassed that of my previous driving school and would thoroughly recommend Paul to anyone who not only wants to pass their driving test but wants to go on and be a confident and competent driver…thank you so much Paul for giving the self-belief to pass!

Tom Crown - Wimbledon, London (4th February 2012)

I have just passed my test this week at the first attempt with 2 minors. My instructor was Tim. I started with Red around the Isleworth area and it was terrible. Tim from Britannia was so much better and built my confidence significantly and therefore did not end up having too many lessons. He took my skills above the required level quite quickly so I wouldn’t have to re-take which was key. All in all a great instructor and top bloke. Would recommend to anyone looking to pass with a calm professional. I have already done so to some of my mates. Thanks Tim.

Jack Hayward - Richmond, Surrey (3rd February 2012)

I am very pleased with Britannia. I had Anthony as my driving instructor, I did four hours a day Monday to Monday and passed my test. Anthony taught me so much and helped me gain my confidence within driving he is a GREAT teacher and I would highly recommend him 🙂 Thank you Britannia and thank you very very much Anthony.

Charncey Theobalds - Feltham, Middlesex (17th January 2012)

I began taking lessons with another driving school, but wasn’t making much progress due to clashing schedules. I then signed up for an intensive driving course with Britannia -2 hours every day for 6 days- and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life! With so little time before my test (also booked by Britannia, for the week following my lessons) the experience seemed slightly daunting at first, particularly as every lesson I learned something that should have been taught to me at my very first class. However, my instructor -Mark- was absolutely brilliant. His no-nonsense approach put an end to the bad habits I’d picked up with my previous instructors, and his encouragement and positivity regarding my improvements, gave me confidence behind the wheel. So this morning I passed my test -first time! Already discussing a pass plus course with Mark. cannot recommend him enough! thank you

Renata Pereira - Kingston upon Thames, Surrey (17th January 2012)

After having one previous driving instructor, with whom I got nowhere, I came across JOHN through Britannia. As I wanted to pass ASAP I took a 15 hour intensive course. John was very professional and with his style it was easy to see how well I was progressing. John knows all there is to know about cars and driving but in addition he understands us as individuals which helps overcome the problem quickly. Though I failed at the first attempt due to my silly error, passing the test second time around with a low number of minors was such a relief. Would I recommend john @ Britannia? 100%!

Nadeem Iqbal - Hounslow, Middlesex (12th January 2012)

I have just passed by driving test first time with only four minors! This is all down to my driving instructor, Jon. He is professional, calm and incredibly helpful. I would recommend him to anyone. I could not have asked for more! Thank you Jon.
