disappointing experience

I had seen Fordys advertisements everywhere about it being "driving school of the year" but unfortunately I had a really bad experience with the company. They sent me a new unexperienced driving instructor who didn't seem to know what he was doing. I wasn't allowed to drive back home even, despite having done 20+ hours previously. I only got a lesson from this company because of my instructor going away for a few months. My first lesson in this new car took me on the motorway- a huge shock!! The instructor didn't know any test routes or even how to get to the test centre. Huge disappointment and a waste of money including £10 for the app which won't be used again.

Dave was an amazing instructor

Dave was an amazing instructor, so patient and calming! Not only that he became an ear for me each week and was very easy to talk to and be taught by. He was rooting for me to get through my test as soon as possible AND I PASSED TODAY!
Will 100% recommend to everyone!

In one simple word ‘Outstanding’

To put it quite simply, Fordydriving school is ‘Outstanding’.

Jack was my sons driving instructor and from day 1, I was very impressed with the level of individual, focused attention Zac received.

The fordydriving school smartphone application was excellent, offering easy access to fantastic reading materials (top tips/videos) on how to improve your driving /pass your test) and it was great to see how the instructors utilised the smart app to provide insights on my sons progressions - very cool.

In today’s busy world, flexibility is key and Jack was very supportive when I asked for help/assistance on logistics (timings/pick up points).

Most importantly, my son feet very comfortable with Jack and he always look forward to lessons, Jack is clearly skilled at communicating with teenagers (something which I’m still learning to do:).

After three months of weekly lessons with Jack, Zac passed his driving test first time with just one single minor fault….I'm under no illusion that because of Jacks tutoring.

Very happy I found fordy school, they’re excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them…

No pressure Jack, now you have my second teenager to sort out:)

Thanks again…. I hope you get some referrals on the back of this review.

Passed first time with Gary

I did my driving lessons with Gary and was an excellent driving instructor. Made me comfortable and made me feel confident in the car. He was always ready to answer my questions and give me extra lessons when needed. Kept talking in the car making me feel more comfortable when learning. I managed to pass my theory first time and my practical first time with only one minor!!!!

Matt as an instructor

I had Matt as an instructor, one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Filled me with confidence after every setback and always stuck with me through Everything. Really feel as if I made a mate for life on our journey.

Great driving school!

My son just passed his test today. From his first lesson with Matt to the very last today, he had him relaxed and reassured throughout. We couldn’t have hoped for a better learning experience and he passed first time with only 3 minors 🌟 . Great driving school and Matt is a great instructor - thanks for everything.
