Client Reviews

Intensive driving course? YES, IT WORKS!!! Having had no driving experience at all and wanting to get my driving license asap before moving away, I was unsure if it’s really possible. I took six hours on six consecutive days with my highly recommendable instructor TIM and could not believe how fast I felt confident to drive on all kind of different roads (especially to use the clutch properly :D). TIM was patient, supportive and chose the right amount of time for repeating and moving on to next tasks. He also showed me the test routes at my test centre and explained to me the tricky roundabouts and junctions. The intensive course with Tim at Britannia was the perfect choice, which led to a first time pass. All in all, if you want to be a confident driver, be optimally prepared for your test and have fun at the same time, TIM is your instructor!! Thank you Tim!!

I’d already had one attempt at my driving test before (with another company) and it went terribly. I was nervous, not at all confident and nowhere near test standard. I failed, then it took me nearly 2 years to get round to trying again! Second time round I had Tim from Britannia and it went amazingly, I realised my previous instructor had been awful and it wasn’t just me being a bad driver! I ended up passing with 1 minor which is better than anyone expected. I used to really hate driving and would dread my lessons but after a couple with Tim I didn’t mind so much and even started to enjoy myself… Thanks Tim for putting up with my constant swearing and difficulty in paying attention to anything for longer than 5 seconds. Driving is no longer a terrifying chore that makes me want to cry. So cheers Tim!

I would like to thank Britannia and in particular my instructor Barrie. I have had previous instructors in the past who’s methods and instruction had been confusing and inconsistent, whereas Barrie made my driving experience pleasant with a friendly greeting, clear and confident instruction and a wealth of experience which has been an asset to me passing my test. As an instructor I would strongly recommend Barrie at Britannia to anyone looking to take lessons and pass their test in an Automatic Car. Once again, many thanks and please pass on my thanks and gratitude to Barrie.

I took about six refresher lessons with John who was nice and relaxed to drive with. I am now comfortable driving a van and any car I get into. Great lessons!

Anna Wiehl - Brixton, London (4th August 2012)

I passed my test today first time after about 40 hours of driving with Jane! She was an excellent instructor. I couldn’t fault her one bit, without her I would not of passed! If you’re naturally quite a nervous person then Jane is perfect for you! She made me feel calm and relaxed the whole time and is just generally a really nice person who I got on really well with. I am going to miss my lessons with her! I would highly recommend her to everyone.

Sophia Sutton - Clapham, London (2nd August 2012)

Excellent service and professional people on the phone (Emma and Oliver). It was always very easy to book the lessons and the test. My instructor Mary was very thorough with the explanations and she did pick up all my bad habits which she corrected over and over until I got rid of them. She is a star and I passed on my first attempt!!!

Oscar Pinto - Battersea, London (1st August 2012)

I found John (J.T) was very calm, patient, and he understood and corrected my bad habits. He made the learning enjoyable and stress free. I would highly recommend John to anyone experienced or non experienced.

Michael Davis - Croydon, London (1st August 2012)

I’ve had 37 hours of driving over 3 months with Alex and today passed my test first time! Alex is a very patient instructor and it’s because of him that I passed – thank you!

Kim Hau - Battersea, London (31st July 2012)

Thank you for helping me gain confidence in my driving. Today on my driving test I was so nervous despite all your attempts to calm me down. The test wasn’t too hard but still was in panic mode for no reason. Thank GOD you were there with me for support. I enjoyed learning to drive with you. There was time that I wanted to give up but you never let me. You always encouraged me, but never to hard, you gave me time to do it and to try my best. As an instructor you were patient, honest and reliable. You even put up with my constantly crying. I like to thank you for your extra effort to help me better understand about the maneuvers. For all those thing I would like to thank Tim.

Kiran Bedi - Feltham, Middlesex (30th July 2012)

A great thanks to Tim my driving instructor from West London, who helped me to pass my driving test with just 3 minors. Tim was very helpful and encouraging. I would defiantly recommend Tim.

Junaid Khan - West London (29th July 2012)

Fantastic tuition from Neil, who made my lessons enjoyable and helped me pass my test. Great stories and great tuition- I couldn’t have wished for a better teacher. A little slice of Oldham in West London.

Rupert Simpson - Shepherds Bush, London (29th July 2012)

Just passed my driving test, all thanks to Jane! She was patient and encouraging and not only pointed out the mistakes to help me improve, but also the positives in my driving. She helped me to become confident in myself whilst having fun too. I would definitely recommend Jane…thanks again!

Katie Doyle - Wimbledon, London (27th July 2012)

My driving instructor was Jane. The best driving instructor anyone could ever have. She was very understanding, patient and calm. She explained every bit about driving very clearly and kept explaining until I understood it. She raised my confidence and told me to trust myself the result was of course a pass! She is a very bubbly, friendly and kind person, I’d definitely recommend her to anyone. She even bought me two lollies when I passed 😀

Abi Sivakumaran - Mitcham, Surrey (27th July 2012)

My instructor Jane was very helpful and encouraging. Changing the time of the lesson was never a problem, even at short notice. She was supportive and knew when to give me a bit of a kick or a pat on my back. The office staff was courteous too. Well done Britannia!

Aneta Mazur - Puntey, London (27th July 2012)

My instructor was Tony in West London . Excellent instructor, keeps things simple and ensured I passed my driving test. Thank you loads and loads.

Kiran Tiwana - Hounslow, Middlesex (26th July 2012)

Finally I have passed my driving test, all thanks to Mary my driving instructor at Britannia. She got my confidence up and made me believe in myself. She is very calm, patient and has a warm personality and she will always be honest to you. She will tell you the negative but the positive to. When you do wrong she will direct you in a good way, without you worrying or over-stressing yourself about it. She always reminded you to believe in your self and always be positive. If you did something wrong you just learn from it and move on, which I really loved about her. On the day of my driving test I was so nervous, she told me Grace drive like you always do, don’t over think, just think of it like you are giving someone a lift and you want them to get there safe, but there are giving you directions to where they want to be dropped of…. I definitely recommend Mary! Thank you so much Mary…xxxx

Grace Kisakye - Brixton, London (23rd July 2012)

I passed the test today thank you for helping me Mary, you are one of the best instructors there could be.

Ulku Karkin - Lambeth, London (20th July 2012)

A great thanks to Robert who guided me to a pass with only 1 minor.

Gary Blackford - Twickenham, Surrey (18th July 2012)

I have recently used Britannia and their driving instructor. I can honestly say that I have found the whole experience completely stress free (as much as learning to drive can be) I was particularly impressed with my driving instructor Jane, she was friendly, and put me at ease immediately. She gave me clear and concise instructions and developed my driving skills quickly. I would give both Britannia and especially Jane a 10 out of 10. And I passed 1st time so there’s no greater proof than that. Thank you Jane, I couldn’t have done it without you.

Hayley Baldrey - Wallington, Surrey (18th July 2012)

I don’t know where to start from because I just passed my driving test on the first attempt! All thanks to my great, friendly instructor Nick! He prepared me so well and gave me so much confidence that I had no trouble while taking test. If you are confused about choosing a driving school or most importantly a good instructor, then look no further, Britannia and Nick are the answer. I will recommend all my family and friends to Nick! Thanks a lot Britannia and Nick for saving my time and money 🙂
