I have had an excellent experience learning to drive with accelerate driving school. Dan was my instructor, he was ver clear with his communication, a very good teacher and felt that not only have I learned a great deal from him, but have also gained a lot of confidence in my driving abilities. I couldnt have wished for a better experience and passed first time. Thanks Dan for being a fabulous instructor.

It is been a great journey at this driving school,
I just passed today and one of the big reasons that I passed is I had a great driving instructor named Daniel at this school I recommend everyone that is learning to drive to learn here.

I would like to take this chance to say a big thank you to John for helping me learn how to drive and giving me enough confidence to be able to take my driving test - even when things werent going my way. I passed my driving test yesterday morning and it was a massive relief! With the combination of John being so patient and encouraging it only took me 10 lessons before I was allowed on the road on my own!
