A1 Driving Academy Ltd Reviews 

This morning I took my driving test and passed. Thanks to Babar. We only had a handful of lessons together but he made sure I was prepared and confident. His teaching style is great and he makes things very easy to understand. Can’t thank and recommend him enough!

I passed my test yesterday on first attempt all thanks to my instructor Iqra she’s amazing I couldn’t recommend anyone else just go for her she’s extremely calm always on time make me comfortable during lessons her way of teaching is excellent i am so grateful having you as my instructor once again thank you so much Iqra and off course A1 driving academy.

I am leaving this review to warn others about a very concerning experience with a senior driving instructor.
During the course of lessons, the instructor repeatedly made unwanted romantic advances towards a female learner.

Instead of maintaining a professional instructor–student relationship, he made unwanted romantic advances towards a female learner, making her feel uncomfortable. He made promises that he could not keep and repeatedly told her things that turned out not to be true, which had a significant emotional impact on her.

A driving instructor is in a position of trust, and learners should never be put in a situation where they feel, uncomfortable, or manipulated.

Based on this experience, I believe the instructor's conduct was unprofessional and inappropriate. I hope the company takes this matter seriously and ensures that all instructors maintain the high standards of professionalism that learners deserve.

had lessons with Rahat Jabeen at A1 Driving School and she was fantastic. She was patient, explained everything clearly, and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. Thanks to her support, I passed my driving practical test first attempt .I would highly recommend both the instructor and the driving school.”

I honestly can’t recommend Serwan enough if you’re looking for an automatic driving instructor in Derby!

Before learning with Serwan, I had three different driving instructors and always struggled with driving anxiety. I never felt confident behind the wheel and started to think passing just wasn’t for me.

Choosing to learn automatic with Serwan was the best decision I ever made. He is incredibly friendly, patient, supportive, and always made me feel at ease. He adapted lessons to suit me, built my confidence slowly, and was so flexible and understanding throughout the whole process.

Thanks to his amazing teaching, I passed first time after just two months of lessons! I never thought I’d be able to say that.

If you’re nervous about driving or have struggled with confidence like I did, I genuinely couldn’t recommend Serwan more. He’s an all-round fantastic instructor and I’m so grateful for all his help. Thank you, Serwan! 🚗✨

I had saima as thr instructor and she was the best instructor you can have because she explained everything carefully and in a easy way and never got angry even when I made some mistakes. she is the best instructor you can have and i passed first time with her.

I passed first time and couldn't be happier. I had Haji and Manny as instructors, and they were fantastic from start to finish. Incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive. They really know how to prepare you for test day and know how to spot your weaknesses and give really good support and guidance - I was more than ready on the day. Can't recommend them enough!

I had the best experience with both Haji and Manny as instructors.I’ve previously had 5 other instructors but my experience with A1 has been by far the best.They teach with patience and clear instructions and can adapt to your ways of learning to make the process enjoyable but informative.I was able to pass in just over 13 weeks with little prior experience in driving. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience they’re are not only great instructors but good genuine people.

Passed First time!!!!Had Josh as my instructor, couldn’t have asked for anyone better i felt incredibly confident going into it all thanks to him calming my nerves and being so patient!!! would 1000% recommend!

Fantastic experience from start to finish with Josh, he was very thorough with his explanations, remained calm and patient and helped me to stay focused whilst driving.
I would recommend Josh to everybody, he did a brilliant job and couldn’t have asked for better.

I had lessons with A1 with Mr.Babar Muhammad instructor he is very good instructor teaches you very well by following all the DVSA rules. A1 is affordable, experienced and cover all the routes. I had my test today with 1 minor and passed it as my Instructor taught me well and we covered the route I followed today. I recommend A1 to everyone.

Thanks all to Babzi.
After failing my practical twice in a row and feeling hopeless, I trained with you and finally passed my driving test. I would recommend more people in to do more lessons with you!!

Today i passed my driving test with Ali from A1 driving academy and i couldnt have asked for a better instructor. He is very calm and kind and explains everything in a way which will make you feel comfortable in having him as you driving instructor. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone looking for a professional and supportive driving instructor!

My driving instructor Muhammad Tanveer Ahmad was really the best instructor you can have as he's really patient, and fortifies the theoretical knowledge too .He knows his craft really well and if you want an instructor who really teaches you rather than just give you driving experience, he's the one .Thanks to A1 driving and my instructor Muhammad Tanveer Ahmad, I now can drive well and with confidence.

Great instructor, last minute call I reached out to him for my test, took me through routes and passed with him. Great instructors I would recommend for all learning of all types. Really accommodating

Nothing but good things to say! I passed my driving test first try thanks to my amazing instructor Haji Akhtar. He was calm, supportive and patient throughout our lessons. He prepared me well for the test. I highly recommend him as an instructor.

Very calm relaxed his teaching is very good he gives a step by step guidance and has given me alot of skills for life. Thankyou so much Mozzam i wouldnt have passed without his support. (I passed with 2minors)

Ateeq is a brilliant driving instructor, very helpful and clear with his instructions and methods. If you want to pass 1st time definitely go for him :)

I am very happy to share that I passed my driving test on my first attempt, thanks to my instructor - Talat. His guidance and teaching style were calm, clear and very structured, which helped me build confidence quickly. He explained everything with great patience, almost like teaching a complete beginner from scratch, which made the learning process so much easier. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive instructor. Kudos to Talat for all the support — this would not have been possible without him.

I have had a really good driving lesson experience with my instructor Ateeq. He was very chill, attentive and explained things really well. He definitely helped to boost my confidence while driving. I would definitely recommend!
