Hiya I’m Daniel and I had been with Sophie from this Driving School for about a year. I had the rough patches everyone has when learning but nothing was too much for my instructor to help me through it. I passed first time and I couldn’t have done it without the help of my instructor, im very thankful and it was a great experience learning with you guys :)

Duncan’s driving school- Driving Instructor

Duncan’s driving school- Tam and the team, made my journey to becoming a Driving instructor enjoyable, inclusive and supported the whole way through, I was made to feel part of the team from the beginning and the pool of experience and knowledge was very much needed, super helpful and appreciated!

I could not have asked for a better support network/ Driving school to make this dream a reality.

Thanks Tam and the amazing Team!

My driving instructor was Sophie and throughout the entire time learning to drive she was very patient and understanding. Whenever I was stuck on anything she'd always have lots of ways to explain how to handle the situation which helped to put my mind at ease and build my confidence

Absolute best driving school about

Absolute best driving school about! Highly recommend, honestly trust you’re gut like I did and choose Duncan’s driving school, they’ll have you on the road in no time, fully confident in your own ability! I just passed first time with 1 minor, massive thank you to Tam my driving instructor, best instructor out, always explaining in detail what what’s right or wrong, never judges any mistakes you might make, fully encourages and empowers you at all times, and a thank you to another instructor who took me out in some realistic, highly helpful mock tests before my test, Sophie, another great instructor with the best temperament, she makes you feel at ease and is always giving great advice, I know this is a long review but if you’re anything like me that’s what you want, an in-depth description of what you’re about to get, trust me, pick this school if you’re looking to get on that road with P plates, they’re simply the best in the business, full steam ahead and good luck to anyone about to start, all the difficult days will pay off eventually, don’t be too harsh on yourself! Thanks Duncan’s driving school really appreciate you!

Above and Beyond

This is a great driving school, I could not recommend them enough. My instructor throughout the process was Donald, he was extremely patient, motivational and reliable. He went above and beyond to ensure I passed my test and really elevated my confidence on the road leading up to my test. I found his lessons to be enjoyable and I passed first time with his help, which is a clear testament to his support and experience.

Passed First time

I had Charlene as my instructor and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was friendly, calm, reassuring and very helpful. Not to mention we got on very well. I passed first time in just over 3 months, doing one lesson per week! I would highly recommend Charlene & Duncan’s driving school to learners.
