A1 Driving Academy Ltd Reviews 

I had lessons with Usman hashmi he is very calm and if I made any mistakes he would make me go round the same route till I got it correct which helped me a lot i definitely recommend him as a driving instructor

Great instructors! I cannot recommend Nisar enough - very patient and understanding; his teaching style is impeccable as he gives detailed feedback and encourages repetitive practice . He goes above and beyond to ensure everything sticks. Couldn’t have asked for a better learning experience.

I pass my test 1st time and after just 4 weeks and it's all thanks to my amazing and very patient driving instructor TAN.
Would highly recommend.

Instructor Usman Hashmi is that one of the best Instructor. i’ve passed my first attempt driving practical test . I really recommended driving A1 Driving Academy.

I just wanna give a massive thank you to Nisar it was a long journey but I’m glad I had you to show me ways and to pass first time with only 3 minors 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I cannot recommend enough. Nisar was absolutely brilliant with me and was very patient. I can’t thank him enough and would 100% recommend A1 driving Academy

Big thank you to my driving instructor Muazzam. He is reassuring and encouraging and gave me confidence when it came to learning to drive. I passed my test first time with only 3 minors. He was a very nice and amazing guy even though he is a United fan which is unfortunate.

I couldn't have asked for a better driving instructor! Tan was incredibly patient, kind, and supportive throughout every lesson. She explained things clearly, always stayed calm, and helped build my confidence on the road.
Thanks to her amazing teaching, I passed my test first time and feel confident driving on my own now. I’d 100% recommend her to anyone learning to drive!

Manny is an incredibly patient, calm & professional .He explained everything very clearly & made sure I was relaxed .Due to him I enjoyed my learning to drive .I passed on my 1st attempt today with only 2 minors.He is a lovely human being ,comfortable to talk to.I would highly recommend him .(100%).
A huge Thankyou to him from me & my mum.😊

Having failed 5 driving tests, I decided to change my instructor and I came across A1 driving academy and my tutor was Atif, he helped me break my habits and be safer. And then I passed my first try after being tutored by him. Thank you so much!

I’m absolutely thrilled to say that I passed my driving test today and I couldn’t have done it without Josh! When I first started lessons, I had zero confidence and was genuinely terrified of being behind the wheel. I never imagined I’d be able to drive, let alone pass my test on the first attempt.
Josh was incredibly patient, calm, and supportive throughout my journey. He believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. His clear guidance, professional teaching style, and reassuring attitude made such a difference. Every lesson helped me build the skills and confidence I needed, and he always knew exactly how to push me just enough to improve without overwhelming me.
Thanks to Josh, driving became something I actually looked forward to, something I never thought I’d say! If you’re nervous, anxious, or just starting out, I can’t recommend him highly enough. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to build on what you know, Josh is the instructor you want by your side.
Thank you so much again, Josh .I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for me!

This review is mainly for Asif, my driving instructor who helped me pass my driving test however overall I've been happy with the service A1 Academy has provided for me.
To start with Im an experienced driver who had his driving licence revoked under new drivers act. Without going into details how this happened I needed help to be prepared for the driving test and especially to eliminate any of my bad habits which I've picked up over the years.
Asif was happy for me to take only a couple of hours worth of driving lessons before each test and finally on the 3rd attempt I did pass. With every each lesson I've had with him he was doing his best to help me to understand the requirements for the driving test and to eliminate the bad habits. He's really a patient instructor and a person I've had a lot to talk about. He's very friendly and easygoing person. I would recommend Asif to anyone.
In terms of the A1 Academy itself. I've run into a bit of problems in the process with them and everything was sorted for me making sure I'm a happy customer so again I can recommend the A1 Academy to anyone and in fact I already did recommend them to one of me friends. Thank you for your service and that you helped me being a driver again.

Amazing experience, and grateful for the help I received. Shout out to Atif as well for never giving up on me, top guy.

Had my lessons with Manny, out of the 5 instructors I had he was the most reliable 😇 I passed my test first time after doing an intensive course with him ! Very happy .

Thanks guys

I just passed my test 1st time with Saima, while only being 17 for 4 months! She is an amazing, confident and calm individual who tailored my lessons according to my mistakes and weaknesses and allowed me to understand every route with ease! From day 1, Saima has been very supportive and kind and has always aided me especially when I felt nervous and confused. She’s a friendly and caring woman who always provided top quality and well structured lessons in a way that made sense to me without difficulty. Her unique and simple approach to teaching made my driving experience enjoyable and rewarding! I’m very thankful to Saima as my instructor. Throughout this process she was patient, passionate and professional while teaching me! Thank you to Saima who supported me along the way and increased my confidence. I would highly recommend her if you are wanting to learn to drive and pass your test.

I couldn’t have asked for or recommend a better driving instructor than Tan. She’s incredibly patient, kind, and has a gift for explaining things in a way that actually makes sense. From day one, I felt supported, even when I was nervous or doubting myself. Tan really took the time to shape my driving and helped me build solid habits that I know will stick with me. She never made me feel rushed or silly for making mistakes and instead, she stayed calm, encouraging, and always helped me learn from them. Her approach helped me grow more confident with every lesson. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and not just about helping you pass the test, but about making sure you become a safe, capable driver for life. I’m so grateful for her support and would recommend her to absolutely anyone learning to drive.

Great instructor (Tan) that helped me learn and be able to pass on my first try and a great person overall.

Passed my driving test today with Manny, 1 minor and “passed the test easily” comment from the Examiner. Manny is the man. Best driving instructor ever, very calm, composed and very professional. Totally different from my 1st instructor where i got really bad experience. Kudos to Manny for teaching me to be a better driver. Highly recommended driving instructor!

Navdeep (nav) has given me a lot of confidence in my first few lessons and I am hoping to carry on learning from her in the future. She has taught me the fundamentals and have had a great experience so far.

Nav was an amazing instructor, taught me everything I needed to know and helped me pass first time💪🏼
