After having Jon as my instructor for 3 weeks or so, I have managed to pass my test first time! Jon was so kind and patient as well as managing to keep me entertained during my lessons. Jon has taught me to drive with confidence and without him, I would be no where near passing now. Thank you so much.

It was a really good experiance taking lessons from britannia .. just passed my practical test yesterday 25th Aug 2011 .. many thanx to my instructor Karen .. She guided me really well and focused on my weak points which improved my driving a lot .. thanx to her i passed on my 1st attempt .. I would definately recommend my friends & family.

I passed my test today, but would not have been able to do it without my instructor Tim! I was a complete beginner when I started having lessons with Tim, but he has not only taught me how to drive, but enabled me to understand what I’m doing which has made me a confident driver. He has been incredibly thorough, patient, and encouraging throughout, and really went the extra mile to ensure I has sufficient practice before my test! I would definitely recommend Tim to anybody learning to drive, he’s brilliant!

John was a brilliant instructor who was always patient and made me believe in myself when nerves got the better of me. Thanks to him I was totally prepared for the test and was able to pass first time. We also had some good laughs during the lessons! Thanks John.

I had Albert as my instructor and highly recommend him. I started off practically as a complete beginner. He was very clear with his instructions and always patient when I was struggling. Quick to react when I made a mistake, he helped me relax enough to be confident early on. I passed on my first try and he helped me learn all the way up to the test, covering all aspects of driving. Definitely recommend him.

Focused and encouraging, John is a highly experienced instructor with quite a character (he calls it Greek Spirit). Count on him to pick apart every aspect of your driving, promoting your good habits and rigorously stamping out your bad habits. Having many pupils with first time passes under his belt, he will focus on developing you into a good driver as well as gearing you towards the practical test. I was a very weak driver three weeks ago with a test fast approaching. Admittedly, I didn’t realise the full extent of this until I made those mistakes on the road. John worked on those mistakes patiently until I was confident in all aspects of driving. He was also very professional and dedicated, working his timetable around mine (I work full time and my hours can be a little uncompromising) and sticking to it even though he should have been at home resting when he was ill (despite constant pestering from his mum). I passed first time today!! Britannia provided all the resources I needed on their website plus more. The lessons were by far the best value for money for the caliber of instructors you’re getting as I’ve trialed AA, RED and two other smaller schools in the past. I believe I could have spent far more time (I did it in under 30 hours) and money if I went with another school in hindsight. Thanks John!!

A big thank you to Mary who helped me overcome my driving nerves! Mary is an excellent tutor who’s helpful advice, knowledge and patience was key to me passing my driving test. I couldn’t have done it without her!

I am very happy with Britannia and my instructor Richard. He was very relaxed and made sure to teach me how to be a good driver and not just so I could pass my test. He effectively identified the weaker aspects of my driving which we worked on, making me a far better driver. After passing my test, I feel very confident driving and I have no doubt that it is entirely thanks to my excellent teacher!

Today I passed my driving test, first time, after 60 hours’ instruction with Wayne, over a period of seven weeks. Wayne really pushed me to achieve a very high standard of driving – higher than the minimum required to pass. It was a good strategy: during the test, nerves obviously affected my driving, but I was still good enough to get through. Wayne was always positive – even when I wasn’t! We spent a lot of time working on my particular areas of weakness, and Wayne gave me excellent advice on how to improve in those areas. He was very encouraging, and helped me get from “never driven before” to “qualified driver” in just a few weeks. I am now planning to take the Pass Plus, also with Wayne. Many thanks for everything.

Taught by the best instructor and passed. Praise God that I passed the test this morning with just 1 minor fault! And I also have to thank John my instructor who has been great throughout the time I took lessons with him. Enthusiastic about his job and particular about safety, he aims to train every one of his students to become the best and safest drivers. He is very precise and is always patient even when I need to practice the same thing over and over again, and he is always thinking of new ways of showing and explaining things to me to help me do better. He is very kind and has given me immense amount of support and encouragement leading me to pass the test today. Thanks John, you are a marvellous teacher!

I recently passed my driving test after a month of lessons with Brittania school. My driving instructor Tim was an especially good and capable instructor. He was immediately able to find weaknesses and talk you through how to rectify them. He also put a good level of trust in me and allowed me to tackle hard roads early on in order to allow me to grow accustom to the hardest potential challenges of the test. I would like to personally thank him for my success and highly reccommend him to anyone who wants to try the test first time round or retake.

Thanks Gerry! Excellent instructor, very relaxed. Cheers 🙂

Dave is friendly,very patient and has an excellant teaching technique. I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thanks for everything Dave

I have just passed my test with only 1 minor! I would like to thank Jon for the patience and time he has given me over the past months! He has been an amazing instructor and I couldn’t have done it without him! Thanks Jon 🙂

Thank you Karen for being such a wonderful instructor. I would recommend Karen to anyone looking to learn…I passed first time with her. She is a lovely person and her teaching methods are amazing. In fact I made my brother take his lessons with her and I will defiantly recommend her further. Thank you again Karen!!!!

A big thank you to Neil for helping me pass my test. He was very helpful and patient. Always gave me great tips. Can’t thank you enough

I took the intensive driving course with Britannia. I normally have a busy schedule and I had one week window in which I could spend all mornings and pass the test. Thanks to Sam (instructor) I was able to pass the test in single attempt. If you feel that the practical test is nerve wrecking and painful, you need to treat it like a band aid and rip it off in one quick go. The intensive driving programme (12hrs practice plus test) was perfect for my need. My driving instructor, Sam, was extremely helpful and flexible in mentoring me. I had a bit of driving experience but he helped me home the skills required to pass the test. His understanding of what the examiners are looking for was immaculate. Even though I got a few minors due to lack of practice and short time frame it didnt hurt as my general driving, thanks to Sam, was perfect and I passed on the first attempt. The whole Britannia team was very helpful in arranging lessons, booking my test (with 1 week notice) and then the lessons themselves. The whole process took exactly one week when I gave them a call last Wednesday to passing my test today.

I would like to say big thank you & recommendation to Tim for being a brilliant driving instructor. I found his teaching skills, guidance & knowledge very helpful to me for passing my test & becoming a confident & safe driver.

passed my practical test yesterday with the massive help of MARY & VINNI. I started off driving with VINNI who is a brilliant instructor and has a great sense of humour. I was always looking forward to our next lesson and he helped me through the most difficult periods in the beginning. He was on holiday when I managed to bring my test date forward and the girls at Kingston Road introduced me to MARY who took me for my test. She loaded me with incredibly useful tips and advice which were not at all confusing. We practiced the trickiest roundabouts right before the test but MARY’s instructions made it all simple so I wasn’t nervous at all. Thanks ever so much MARY & VINNI – I’ll always be grateful!!
