nearway driving
i had Alex as my instructor, he was amazing and taught me from no knowledge of how to drive a car. he supported me after i failed my first test and helped me to find a cancellation soon after, which thankfully i passed. always explained everything to me and let me keep trying regardless of if i make a mistake. couldn’t have had it any better !! also the customer service was amazing whenever i need to book a lesson or move a date with lovley staff.
My experience with Boom was amazing

Got me that blue pass certificate!
My instructor Alex was great in helping me pass on my fourth attempt (first under him).
He, as I’m sure everyone else at Boom! as well, knew how to teach me and what would be best for me to gain confidence after multiple fails.
I couldn’t recommend him and the team enough! 🙏🏻

Excellent instructors and very professional
I just passed my driving test yesterday and have to give credit to Lucie for being such a patient and great driving instructor throughout my learning journey. Also for getting me in touch with Ian to help with pre-test nerves which really got the best of me a couple of times before.
All my interactions with the school have been very professional and staff are incredibly helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this driving school for new learners!

Incredible Driving School
Prior to Nearway (Boom driving) i had an instructor, he was a bad one to say the least and it become demotivating to drive or even try, but after leaving him and being introduced to Simon at Nearway, that completely changed. A very calm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere was provided, whilst informing you of improvements you can make to your driving. Simon and Nearway legitimately care about drivers as well as beyond when they pass and i would 110% recommend them for anyone.
