RSM Driving School Reviews 

I recently passed my driving test on Saturday, 25th April, and I couldn’t have done it without my driving instructor.

From the very beginning, my driving instructor was patient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. My driving instructor explained everything clearly and made sure I fully understood both the practical skills and the theory behind safe driving. The teaching style helped build my confidence step by step, especially in areas I initially found challenging.

What stood out the most was the calm approach and encouragement, even when I made mistakes. My driving instructor always took the time to correct me properly and ensured I improved with every lesson.

My driving instructor was also very reliable, punctual, and flexible with lesson times, which made the whole learning process smooth and stress-free.

Thanks to the guidance and support from my driving instructor, I was able to pass my test successfully. I would highly recommend my driving instructor to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective driving instructor.

If you are looking for a driving instructor who is as sharp as he is skilled, look no further than Mr. Ripon Shikdar. Ripon is incredibly smart, witty, and truly knows the turf—particularly in Kings Heath areas (the 'King' of these roads, truly!).
​What sets him apart is his personal investment; he doesn't just teach to get paid, he teaches to ensure that you, the road, and the public are safe. He is remarkably practical and pragmatic, knowing his strengths and staying focused on the areas where he is the undisputed expert. He won't take on a student unless he knows he is the best person to lead them to success.

​The only downside? He is in high demand and incredibly busy—but that’s simply the price you pay for the best in the business. If you can secure a spot with him, don't hesitate.

Ask for Ripon if you want to pass! Fantastic instructor.

I was a nervous wreck and from day 1 Ripon made me so comfortable driving and learnt so well. I have heard horror stories of people with their driving instructors having bad experiences and having to change but not with Ripon. He is very calm and encourages you rather than shouting at you.

Aside from the driving very nice guy and always an enjoyable experience. Will miss our chats.

So glad I had Ripon. Definitely ask for him if you want to pass first time and have a very skilled, calm and brilliant instructor.

Nosheen was absolutely amazing,she was so thorough about the entire testing process and made sure I was confident,she’s honestly one of the best instructors I’ve had,such a sweet and genuine person.Passed with only 2 minors!!Thank you Nosheen🩷

Ripon was my instructor andi passed first time with 1 minor thanks to him he trained me so well honestly appreciate it

My experience with imran Amrif has been wonderful, he has helped me pass my driving test today and it’s all thanks to him and his help , the way he explains things and the way he understands is top class . Much thanks to imran Arif for his good work and helping me . Very good person with a very kind heart .

I booked 3 of the beginner lessons with RSM over a week in advance for 9am on a Sunday for manual lessions.

I got email confirmation of the booking and the website said someone will call us prior to the lession.

No one called. No one showed up to the lession.

My wife called to ask what's happening they tried to imply it was my wife's fault saying we should of confirmed there was a lesson and they don't do manual driving lessions in our area (How would we know that? There website allowed us to book it!) and they sent us a email (There was no email). I then rang and I asked where said email was and where was my phone call there website mentioned.

He then claimed he couldn't hear me and they would ring me straight back. No one rang back.

Avoid, Avoid, Avoid.

Zero stars.

my instructor Imran Arif was absolutely fabulous, helped with everything from essentially getting to 1 from 0 and brought me to 100% passed with no faults at all!

My daughter passed her test this morning first time after just 6 months of lessons. Iftikhar (Ifti) was her instructor and I would highly recommend him. Clear and patient instructor who filled my daughter with confidence from the start, great guidance, would spend time on anything she was finding more difficult. A fabulous experience.

I passed my test today at Kings Heath after three attempts. I took lessons with Mr. Muhammad Ahmad, he is very professional and has a great way of teaching students. His tips and constant feedback were very helpful especially leading up until the test day. I had some issues with my nerves two days to the test, he noticed this and helped.
I would recommend him to anyone taking their test at Kings Heath.

passed my driving test at South Yardley test centre with Farah, and it was a long but fruitful experience. She was a patient and an encouraging instructor. She motivated me constantly to be the best and safe driver that I can be. She’s helped me build my confidence as a learner driver. I recommend her as an instructor to anyone looking to dedicate themselves to learn to drive safely and confidently.

I am so excited to share that Mr Muhammad Ahmad is an absolutely outstanding driving instructor. I passed my driving test today with only three minors, and it’s all thanks for his incredible teaching. From the very beginning, he was patient, professional, and genuinely committed to helping me become a confident and safe driver on UK roads.
I am truly grateful for the dedication, patience, and encouragement he showed throughout my learning journey. His calm approach and clear guidance made every lesson valuable and helped build my confidence behind the wheel.
If you are looking for a driving instructor who is professional, reliable, patient, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend Muhammad. Choosing him as my instructor was one of the best decisions I made.
Thank you Muhammad for helping me achieve such an important milestone and thank you RSM for assigning this great man to me for my driving journey. It has truly been a great pleasure.
Please note, if I could give more than 5 stars, I would happily do so😁. I will definitely be recommending Muhammad to as many friends and relatives as possible. Learning with him was truly a wonderful experience.

After a discouraging experience with two previous instructors, I finally found Ripon from RSM driving School, and it made all the difference. Ripon is incredibly calm, patient, and professional. He stayed focused on exactly what I needed to improve and gave me the confidence I was missing. He doesn’t just teach you to drive; he pushes you to pass with excellence. If you’re struggling to find the right instructor, look no further.

I would highly recommend Hamid and RSM driving school to anyone who is looking to learn to drive, or as a refresher after not driving for a while, as in my case, in Birmingham. Hamid was very understanding about my situation, and very thorough and patient in his teaching. Big thanks to Hamid!

I passed my driving test and I’m very grateful to Imran Arif for his support throughout the process. He is a patient, friendly, and professional instructor who explains everything clearly and makes sure you understand each step properly. He helped build my confidence and always stayed calm during lessons, which made learning much easier. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I felt fully prepared on test day. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving instructor.

My instructor Muhammad Malik was amazing. He got me test ready in a few lessons. Was very understanding and taught me very well.

Loved every single lesson I’ve had with imran arif. He was more than a teacher but turned into a life long friend. He was calm, patient and willing to teach. Would highly recommend to stick with him from the get-go, you won’t regret it!

My instructor, Ripon, was very experienced with the Kings Heath area. He was extremely patient and helped me a lot throughout my lessons. I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor highly recommended. Thanks to Ripon and RSM🙌

My driving experience with my instructor Imran Arif was an absolute delight. The best experience ever. I was a very slow learner but he understood me and was very patient. He is the best instructor so far. I passed my test yesterday.

Passed first time. Aftab from RSM Driving School was the best driving instructor I could hope for and taught me how to drive from beginner to test in two months. Aftab taught me step by step how to drive, making sure I felt confident at each stage.

I was very nervous to take up driving, especially as I was working most days from 9 - 5 most days. Aftab was always very accomodating and flexible with his teaching schedule. I am incredibly grateful to Aftab for his support and guidance, I would recommend him as a driving instructor to anyone.
