Highly recommend
Even though I have been driving 50 years, due to having passed my original exam in the USA I needed to take both theory and practical tests. In order to ensure I knew what the practical examiner would be looking for, I had contacted 2nd2none through a Google search and saw their good reviews. They were helpful and replied to my query promptly I ended up with 2 instructors as there was scheduling conflict and 2nd2none found me another instructor who was available on my exam day. Both Paula and Emma were helpful and thorough. As mentioned, Emma had to step in at the last minute, and she took me through the last minute checks and mock test and I passed! I want to thank both Paula and Emma for their kind patience. Paula thank you for calling and ensuring I found another instructor and Emma for stepping in and ensuring I was ready!
Leah was great and kept believing in me…
Leah was great and kept believing in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. I passed on my third try with only 1 minor. Would definitely recommend 2nd2None!
Passed today thanks to brill driving…
Passed today thanks to brill driving instructor John, very easy to get along with, and to the point when there's stuff you need to work on, but comes across very well. Managed to pass with just 1 minor on my test and even that was close to perfect. Would 100 percent recommend this for learning, along with him if your in the area

My instructor was Jim
My instructor was Jim, a pleasure to be taught by and a really kind, down to earth guy. Never lost control of the lesson or his temper, he was always cool, calm and collected. His teaching was easy to understand and he made sure to allow me to see the positives of all situations, good or bad. I enjoyed our time together and looked forward to each and every lesson.

Had a very good experience with 2nd2NONE driving school, I had Sean Fenton as my instructor and he was so patient with me, my confidence was built up quickly and just after ten hours of driving I passed my test first time. Thank you Sean you are a great driving instructor!
I just passed my test on the first try
I just passed my test on the first try. Emma Broadley in Chippenham has been fantastic very patient and understanding. She really has managed my anxiety around driving very well.
I 100% recommend 2nd to None and Emma to anyone wanting to learn to drive.

From never driving to passing in4 months
From never driving to passing in 4 months was something I’d never thought was possible I honestly wouldn’t have done it without having such a great instructor Simon g. Thankyou very much. Highly recommend !!

A wonderful opportunity for under 17s to learn to drive with competent patient instructors. The young drivers really enjoyed the experience in a safe environment. Thank you 2nd2None for providing this opportunity.

Hugely appreciate how patient and encouraging my instructor Dave was, every lesson. Whole process of booking lessons, learning and sitting my test felt easy from start to finish. Would hugely recommend. Passed first time in Chippenham - thank you!
Absolutely fantastic driving experience…
Absolutely fantastic driving experience for my 13 year old son. The instructor was very helpful and friendly, the whole experience was very well organised. We paid for an hour session and it was well worth it, very good value for money. We will definitely book another session.
Really helped an anxious learner
I've been trying to learn for years and really struggled with anxiety. Royston made learning in an automatic stress free and got me to pass my test with zero faults! He is so calm and patient and makes sure you understand things.
Using the app and booking lessons with the company was also really straightforward. I would definitely recommend 2nd2none, especially Royston.
Great experience with Instructor Paula
My driving instructor Paula was amazing, she made a big difference in making me feel more confident and also great at giving advice. If I did not understand something, she would explain it in different ways which was very helpful. If you are based in the Chippenham/Wiltshire area I would highly recommend her.
Positive experience
I had Sarah as my driving instructor and she was really encouraging and helped me pass with 1 minor fault.

Passed first time with 0 minors thanks to John! He was a fab instructor, always made the lessons enjoyable and was very patient. Thank you very much.
Stuart made me feel at ease throughout…
Stuart made me feel at ease throughout my lessons with him, he explained everything simply and easy to understand, I was quite nervous to begin with but he built up my confidence with his friendly manner and encouragement, I would highly recommend Stuart to anyone that wants to learn how to drive.
Passed first time...
Didn't have long to wait before starting lessons. Went for automatic for ease. Payments and booking lessons on the app were really straight forward. My instructor Simon Garratt put me at ease straight away as a neurodivergent person, and his patience & expert guidance, plus his confidence in me, ensured I passed first time. Thanks so much Simon! Highly recommended...
Passed my test
Passed my test, after 2 attempts due to no fault of the instructor, mine is called Emma. The best instructor I could’ve asked for, direct, clear and knowledgeable. Also has a great sense of humour and is easy to get on with
