Passed my test last week thanks to my fantastic instructor Sylvie! About 5 years ago I failed three tests (with a different driving school), which had a really negative impact on my confidence, but from my first lesson with Sylvie I could tell I was being taught by an experienced person who could tell exactly where my driving weaknesses were and provide constructive feedback and tips. Highly recommended!

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.

Just passed my Practical Test today!! Just like to say a massive THANK YOU to my instructor Tim. I had no driving experience before Tim started teaching me, so I was nervous from the beginning. But right from the start he made me feel confident with myself and gave me self belief. When I made mistakes during my lessons he never raised his voice but instead he just kept calm and explained what I could’ve done better and always gave me constructive advice in being a good and safe driver. While taking his lessons, he will teach you to a high standard of driving and take you to potential test routes. When the test finally came, the test route the examiner used, Tim had already taken me to the same route at least twice which made the exam much easier. At the end of each lesson he always gave me feedback on how the lesson went and if there was anything that needed to be worked on. I would definitely recommend Tim at Britannia to anyone. Again Thank You Tim!!

I had Neil as my driving instructor for nearly a year and it took me two chances to pass my test yet he made me feel like it didn’t matter and that there was always next time. He made me feel I had the confidence to believe in myself more and that made me feel better when I was going into my tests. Thanks Neil 🙂

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!

Passed my test yesterday with Britannia. My instructor, Jon was great! Very calm at all times, clear and thorough with the briefs of what I needed to do and taught me how to drive rather than just how to get me through my test! After having 3 different driving instructors I was beginning to think I could never get to test but with Jon’s teaching I am now confident to get out on the roads. I will be carrying on to take the pass plus with him as well, as I feel that a confident, experienced driving instructor is just the thing needed on your first trip out on the motorways and for night driving too. Found the Britannia test booking service really useful too, they managed to bring my test forward two months from what the DSA website could offer me, well worth the extra money.I would recommend both the company and particularly Jon’s instruction to anyone that wants to learn to drive. Thank you!

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.

Mary was a very good instructor, gave me confidence and belief, was very easy to follow and understand and was always willing to listen and help. I would very much recommend her and Britannia.

Zak Elbekri - Mitcham, Surrey (31st January 2012)

Had a great time learning how to drive with Alex from Britannia. Great instructor, I highly recommend him, really pushes you to do your best, but is very calm and a great teacher. Highly recommend you learn to drive with Britannia, great customer service and instructors, but also with Alex…you will pass 1st time!!!!

Bod Khan - Mitcham, Surrey (31st January 2012)

I was very nervous about taking my test and because of this my instructor Darren ensured that I was prepared for everything, he tested me on all the routes and ensured I was prepared for the test. Only because of his efforts and dedication was I able to complete and pass my test 1st time round. I was very lucky to be introduced to him as your driving is only as good as the person who teaches you!

If you are an experienced driver without a driving licence and need to finally carry out your driving practical test; from my own experience, the best place to go to is Britannia and the best instructor to use is Nick. Prior to using Britannia, I had used Red where the instructor tried to teach me afresh hence messing my brain up and I felt as if I could not drive. I had to quickly stop using Red. After several months, I decided to look up the internet for another school. I was so impressed when I came across the Britannia Driving School website and I thought I should try them out. Nick was assigned to me and I had 6 lesson with him before the test which I passed with ease. On the first day, he accessed me to determine my level of driving. And all he did was correct my bad habits and perfect the knowledge and skills I already had without messing my brain or teaching me afresh. He also took me around potential test routes and got me used to safe driving which tends to make me a better, safer driver and not just for the purpose of passing the test.

My instructor Charlie was great, he made me feel comfortable in the car and we took everything at a good pace. Overall he was very nice and enthusiastic towards me learning to drive.

Ben Mieszkowski - Teddington, Middlesex (26th January 2012)

I just took my driving test today and passed 1st time. I have my instructor John and Britannia to thank for that. When we started I had quite a few hours of driving lessons that had not helped me much with my confidence. I was at that stage when you begin to question yourself ‘should I insist on this?’ John at Britannia just showed me where my weaknesses were and how to improve them, but from the very first day he made me feel confident I could do it despite my low self esteem that day. He always made me feel rewarded every time I did things right and he knew just how to push me with the right words, without ever being nasty or putting me down. I can definitely recommend John to all learners, but especially to those who, like me, got to the brink of giving up and don’t feel any confidence in their skills. John taught me lessons that I hope to carry on for life. I cannot thank him enough for all the hard work, in the end it was really worth it: passed with only 3 points taken off, first time! Thank you, John, thank you Britannia team!

Fernanda Loos - Sutton, Surrey (26th January 2012)

I can surely say that Britannia Driving School is the best one. I want to say a very big Thank you to Mick because if it was not for him I was not going to pass my driving test at the first attempt. For me Mick is an instructor who everyone would be lucky to have as he was really nice to me even when I was making stupid mistakes he explained everything very carefully to me and made me believe that I can improve my driving to the best quality. If anyone wants to learn how to drive to the best then s/he should come to Britannia Driving School and especially to Mick even though I am absolutely sure that the rest of the driving instructors are just as good as Mick. A very big Thank you to the whole team, the process of learning how to drive a car was a pleasure for me and its all because of Mick and Britannia Driving School! Thank you!!!

Galya Tabakova - Wimbledon, London (26th January 2012)

Passed my driving test on my first attempt with only 3 minors!!! Now that speaks volumes about my instructor Tim. I was a total nervous wreck initially, but thanks to him I calmed down and he guided me through the entire learning session. He tailor made my sessions in accordance to my areas of weakness and strengths. I would most definitely like to mention his perseverance and his encouragement which kept me motivated primarily in imbibing all that he taught and making learning much easier and fun. So if you are looking for an expert instructor who details you with all correct manoeuvres and information and mentors you through a positive PASS result then I would say “he is the man.”

Abhishek Haritash - Hounslow, Middlesex (25th January 2012)

I was very pleased with the 2 instructors that I had! Nick & Court. They were both knowledgeable & helpful too! Nick saw me through 1 disappointment when I failed the 1st test & gave me encouragement for the 2nd test of which I passed!! Many thanks to both of you!!

My instructor Chris was an excellent teacher A+++++++++

Stuart Willmott - Twickenham, Middlesex (23rd January 2012)

I highly recommend my instructor, Mary. I passed my test (first time) just before Christmas and felt completely prepared. She was extremely thorough; praising and offering constructive criticism where necessary. Mary, thank you for all your help and support throughout the process.

Paula Cubitt - Battersea, London (22nd January 2012)

I recently just passed my driving test and my driving instructor was called Neil. He is such a laid back and really good instructor. He also believed in me and this eventually helped me to believe in myself and to have more confidence in knowing I can drive. I don’t think I would have passed if it wasn’t for his confidence in me, not first time anyway. He is also very patient and very comfortable to be with during lessons. I would recommend him to anyone.

Georgia Hook - Hayes, Middlesex (21st January 2012)
