Alb was easy to deal with, Rob my instructor excellent very patient and very informative. I would highly recommend this company.
Mark was great, such a good teacher and I passed first time!
We wanted our son to have at least 40 hours of road experience in his own car, as well as his 30 hours of driving lessons, but not wait months to get a driving test.
ALB were flexible and delivered the lessons in a semi-intensive format while booking a test without any delay, They were also really helpful and patient with booking the lessons, theory test etc., round my son's erratic shift working hours.
The end result was our son passed his test first time and gained his license within 4 months of his 17th birthday. Many thanks to Tony who was a great instructor and Danielle who worked hard to get the driving lessons and test booked for times that suited. Can't recommend the team enough.

Maxine is a fantastic driving instructor. She explains everything clearly, stays calm and patient, and always makes lessons feel relaxed and encouraging. Her tips and guidance really helped build my confidence on the road, and thanks to her support I felt well prepared for my driving test. I would definitely recommend Maxine to anyone learning to drive!

I had a week-long intensive course with Dave and he was absolutely fantastic! He was very encouraging, constructive and helped me gain a huge amount of confidence with my driving.
I also got a test really quickly after my intensive course and passed straight away! Would highly recommend!

Martyn was hands on heart the most amazing and supportive driving instructor anyone could possibly hope for! Honestly I can’t recommend him and ALB as a whole, enough. He helped me pass with flying colours in a matter of weeks. So calm and friendly, and just an overall professional yet relaxed environment to be in. Thank you. ALB intensive is the way to go. <3

We cannot recommend ALB Driving School highly enough. My daughter Emily passed her driving test first time after completing an intensive 20-hour course, and that is entirely down to the incredible teaching from her instructor, Mark.
Mark was patient, professional, and exceptionally clear in his teaching. More importantly, he gave her the confidence she needed behind the wheel; something that makes all the difference, especially under test conditions. His calm approach, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to helping her succeed really stood out.
If you’re looking for a driving school that delivers results and instructors who truly care, ALB Driving School and Mark in particular are outstanding.
Thank you so much for such a brilliant experience.

I passed my driving test today and I owe it all to Tony. He was always straight with me and gave honest feedback, which really helped me improve and know exactly what I needed to work on. He’s patient, calm, and explains things clearly, but also pushes you to do better when you need it. His support made a huge difference to my confidence on the road. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Maxine highly enough! She is an incredible instructor who made learning to drive fun and who instantly calmed any lingering nerves. Thanks to her patience, commitment, and knowledge, I passed my test today with no faults. I could not be happier with my experience and would recommend Maxine to anyone in a heartbeat!

First time pass at Farnborough. Tony has the just the right balance of patience and instruction for my 17 year old daughter. Intensive week of lessons then rest in run up to test worked perfectly. Would highly recommend.
