I passed my driving test this April thanks to Jason

I passed my driving test in April and was able to get to that point thanks to Jason's brilliant teaching, his patience was incredibly important especially when I became increasingly nervous about the test. He also has a good sense of humour that took a lot of the stress away from driving, his teaching style makes a lot of the principles and knowledge needed for driving easy to remember.

The Best Instructor in Cardiff

If I could give Jason more stars, I would. I did a 30 hour intensive course with Jason in late January, which lasted for a month. Today, I passed my test with four minors, and I must say Jason’s ability to teach whilst being calm and friendly definitely contributed to my success. Absolute lovely person and if you are based in Cardiff, book a lesson with him and you’ll see what I mean. Thanks, Laurence

Jason is the Best

My driver Jason is one of the best driving instructors I know. He is a very chill guy but makes sure you’re doing everything correctly and you are aware of everything that needs to be complete. Thanks to Jason I have passed my test first time and it wouldn’t be unless I had an instructor who made me feel welcome every lesson and that I could pass my tests and get through anything the roads can put you in. Highly recommend using 1st Stop as your driving school!

Big shout for the legend Jason

When I met Jason he had a friendly feeling when I was down or nervous he was there for me teaching me the ropes of drive and understand the roads. When the exam day he gave me a talk to relax take my time. This is why I could never ask for any other driving instructor.

I was looking for a refresher lesson as I had a driving assessment for a job and I knew I had some bad habits to get rid of. Jason was brilliant and made sure that those habits were eradicated :) He was very patient and I would highly recommend. I got through my assessment with flying colours. :)

A big shoutout to Jason Sheppard for expertly guiding my daughter on her driving adventure, culminating in her passing on her first attempt. His understanding and adaptation to her additional needs were remarkable. Jason consistently demonstrated professionalism, punctuality, and dependability, all while maintaining a friendly demeanor. He's genuinely an amazing person, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.

Fantastic instructor!

Jason has been a fantastic instructor from our first lesson through to the test. Incredibly friendly and patient. Through our lessons he was able to put me at ease after I had previously failed a test 10 years ago and shied away from driving since then. He was able to adapt to the experience I previously had and train and prepare me for driving independently. He is great at clearly explaining manoeuvres and the rules of the road while still remaining chatty and funny throughout the lessons.

I passed my second test with 2 minors in a new car thanks to Jason's instruction and ability to put me at ease in the new car days before the test. Couldn't recommend him more for those looking to learn in Cardiff!

I passed my test this month and have been with Jason since June! We took lessons mostly every week and Jason taught me everything I needed to know. For my test I did take my own car and did lessons with family but Jason taught me what I had to do to pass which allowed me to do this. Would definitely recommend
