Albintensivedriving Reviews 

I had such a good experience and received great teaching!

Did the 20 hours course. Passed first time, no minors. Dana was a great teacher. I would thoroughly recommend!

Theresa is Amazing! So easy to work with, makes the experience effortless :)

Mark helped me pass with only ten hours of lessons after I failed my first test in October. He’s so supportive, explains everything clearly and gives great pre-test advice. I kept calm and i couldn’t have done it without these lessons !!

After looking at various local options, ALB’s Trustpilot reviews are actually what encouraged me to choose them over another service that would have been closer to me.
As a new mum trying to squeeze learning to drive into the end of my mat leave whilst also arranging childcare for my son - I had a very tight window in which to complete my test and lessons. ALB was incredibly helpful in making this work and was able to secure me a test much sooner than I would ever have managed on my own, and within a helpful timeframe, right at the end of my course.
Having driven years ago and then had my confidence significantly knocked, I was an absolute nervous wreck when starting out. Tony was incredibly patient and calming, constantly encouraging me to believe in myself and to catastrophise less when I made mistakes. Tony is an amazing instructor who genuinely listens to you and gets to know you as a person, remembering your habits and advising you on how to counteract them.
He has a wonderfully calming presence, able to chat about life when you want to, and to remain quiet and focused on driving when needed. He is incredibly empathetic towards nervous drivers and helps to build confidence where required. He also amazed me with an incredible skill you don’t even realise he’s using — being able to recount an entire drive, second by second, reciting back everything you did in order - purely from memory, once you pull up!
Tony shared his many years of experience, which were clearly demonstrated through his unmatched knowledge of local routes, test centres, road markings, speed limits, examiners, test procedures, local roadworks etc. He is a very likeable person and clearly very family-oriented. Although the business has grown and expanded across many areas, at its core it remains a local endeavour, which gives it that personal touch that so many profit-driven larger corporations lose.
Although the initial cost seems quite high, it is the only payment you make and includes the lessons, the test, and the car. It actually works out far more economical overall, as you know exactly what you’re paying upfront and are working towards a clear test date. Years ago, when I had lessons with a instructor for one of those big companies, he would consistently tell me I wasn’t ready for a test in order to encourage me to book more lessons, and even refused to teach me certain aspects of driving after months of lessons — which added up to far more than an intensive course would have been to begin with!
Despite hurdles such as my wisdom teeth becoming horrifically reinfected, and not being able to take proper painkillers due to breastfeeding, Tony remained empathetic and encouraging throughout, recognising when I needed a break whilst still keeping the end goal in mind.
I could not be more grateful to ALB and Tony for helping me pass. To anyone debating booking this course — I absolutely could not recommend it more.
Thank you, ALB, and thank you, Tony! 😊

Mark is a legend. passed first time all thanks to him. So patient and really easy to get along with. i would 100% recommend mark to anyone.

I passed first time! I don’t think I would have learnt well with having lessons separated and strung out across long periods of time so I think the intensive course worked for me. My instructor, Tony, is a legend he was always straight with me about how I was driving meaning I gained the confidence to drive on my own.

Passed first time! Nin was amazing and helped me so much to progress my driving and build my confidence on the road, I always looked forward to our lessons, would 100% recommend!!

I completed an intensive driving course with ALB and I can honestly say it was the best decision I made. My instructor Martyn was amazing from start to finish. When I first started, my confidence was really low due to previous bad experiences with other driving companies, but Martyn was incredibly patient, calm and supportive throughout the whole course. He took the time to explain everything clearly and helped rebuild my confidence step by step. Thanks to his teaching, I passed my driving test first time. I couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend ALB, especially Martyn — truly the best instructor.

Mark was an amazing instructor very calm and helped me so much

Tony was a fantastic instructor and as a nervous and total beginner I found the course very helpful and prepared me perfectly for my test, would highly recommend!

Thank you my instructor Steve, who was patient and explained clearly. Thank you for making me a confident driver,I enjoyed experience of learning and driving
I passed my test for first attempt and I'm very happy with that

Maxine was fantastic, very calm instructor.
She had brought me up to speed very quickly and made me feel at ease immediately. 5* star service would highly recommend.

Was the best experience you could’ve ever asked for! I was taught by Rob in Farnborough and he kept me super calm and kept my nerves down, he is amazing in how he teaches us learners. Super patient and caring, I would 100% recommend anyone wanting to learn In farnborough to go with Rob!

Incredible experience from beginning to end. Enabled me to pass first time and my instructor Tony gave me the confidence I needed.

Passed first time!! Ez dub!!! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants to get on the road quickly!!!

Was lovely to work with Tony!! Helped me pass first time & the loveliest man ever!

Had an amazing experience with ALB. They sorted my son’s test very quickly (Salisbury) and Theresa was absolutely fantastic. So calm especially when a few things went wrong! Would highly recommend.

It was an absolute joy learning with Dave- he was the most incredible, patient and supportive driving instructor! thanks too him I passed my test! I 100% recommend Dave! And will be recommending him to my friends- I will miss our lessons full of laughter!

Just passed with Robert. Proper lovely guy and really really easy to learn with. Teaches all the basics needed to perfection. The wait times for the test are what they are, can’t be helped. Smooth process and I would recommend. Again massive thank you to Robert for the teaching. Couldn’t have done it without him!

Alb were very quick to get my course date sorted, and provide another instructor when the original instructor had unforeseen car troubles. Dave was the most calming amazing instructor i have had, and i would not have had the confidence without him to learn to drive. I just passed my test!!! I would 100% recommend using ALB
