i couldn’t be happier about my journey…

i couldn’t be happier about my journey with my a1 driving instructor, Qamar Shahzad. as someone who had no driving experience except for a few lessons with another instructor who wasn’t in a1 where i dreaded my lessons, Qamar made me feel at ease, comfortable and safe. if i did anything wrong i wasn’t made to feel stupid he would just explain how i went wrong and tell me to try again. His instructions and expectations were always clear so i knew what i should be doing, and i never felt too pushed beyond what i could handle. i passed second time and now feel like a confident safe driver and i am looking forward to doing my pass plus lessons. i would recommend Qamar to anyone at any skill level but especially those who lack experience and confidence

Manaz

Manaz is a very supportive and helpful instructor who always explains topics clearly and makes learning easy to understand. The lessons were engaging, and extra guidance was always provided whenever needed. Manaz created a positive and comfortable learning environment that encouraged confidence. I really appreciate the patience, dedication, and support throughout my driving journey, and I would highly recommend Manaz as an instructor.

Great, encouraging instructor!

I had such a great experience learning with this driving school. My instructor (Farzana) was super patient, friendly, and made me feel comfortable from the very first lesson. She explained everything clearly and helped build my confidence on the road, especially with things I was nervous about at the start.

I’d definitely recommend this driving school to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive instructor. Thank you again for helping me pass and feel confident driving! 😁

Thank you to Faz at A1 driving school for being a very supportive and patient instructor. I passed in my first attempt at the Heckmondwike test centre and found the whole experience on the day of the test being incredibly calming. Faz’s lessons have always been productive and engaging. Thank you Faz - couldn’t have done this without you!
