Excellent Instructors
I had both Craig Guyver and Rob Springhall as instructors from kinetic driving school. They were both friendly, inviting and professional. From Craig teaching me the basic foundations of driving a manual car to Rob helping me refine my skills and get through the test, they were both fantastic..! I would like to say an extra special thanks to Rob as he made my test day so seamless and stress free..! Thank you both very much.!
dean
couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor. really funny and keeps lessons engaging, which made learning to drive much less stressful. He’s also great at identifying your individual weaknesses and explaining things clearly so you actually improve.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for an instructor who genuinely cares and makes lessons enjoyable!

Holly From Kinetic
I passed my test first time with no driving faults and its all thanks to an amazing instructor called Holly. I had lessons with her for around 2 months and she was brilliant fromt start to end. The first lesson there was no awkwardness at all, with Holly making sure to chat to make things less stressful. She guided me every step of the way. She was never late, and would always be happy to pick me up and drop me off anywhere after our lessons. If anyone ever asked me to recommend a driving instructor, i wouldnt think twice about recommending Holly. She truly is amazing and guided me every way through, with her jokes, words of wisdom and most of all her friendliness. Thank to Holly at Kinetic, i passed my test first time.
I had a really great experience with Dave from Kinetic
I had a really great experience learning with Dave from Kinetic. He made driving feel much easier and helped me build my confidence over time. We always had a laugh during lessons, which made them really enjoyable and helped me feel calm. He’s also honest and straight to the point with feedback, which really helped me improve. I always enjoyed our lessons and would recommend Dave to anyone learning to drive.
Passed my driving test first time!!
Recently, I passed my practical driving test thanks to Holly! I was doing automatic driving lessons with her, and she helped me enjoy driving while encouraging me. I was able to become confident in my driving and passed first time in my practical test! Thank you, Holly!!
Just to say thank you to everyone at kinetic
Just to say thank you to everyone at kinetic, the girls in the office, Nathan and especially to mark. With marks help and dedication I managed to pass both my part 2 and 3 on the first attempt. If you want to become an ADI this is definitely the training school to use. Mark was there for me every step of the way and if you put in the hard work you will make it. Thank you to everyone at kinetic to help me qualify in less than a year. I will be forever grateful.
Bad experience
Kane my driving instructor was late to most of my lessons and cancelled more then 1 with occasionally no warning or explanation - just didn’t show up at all. Adding to that he spoke to my friends (other learner drivers) poorly about me, breaking the confidentiality code of conduct. Previously on a lesson he spent the first 40 minutes of my lesson talking to his previous learner.
Other then that, he was a laugh

Since my first lesson with kane I knew we would get along. He is a great and patient instructor and I looked forward to my lessons with him every week. He was amazing at fitting in my lessons with my school/work schedule and I will miss our weekly lessons.

My driving instructor Hezekiah (Hez) is honestly the best driving instructor! I highly recommend him. He's friendly, patient, informative and well experienced. Hez helped me to pass my practical driving test in a very short space of time. I passed with no faults and I give Hez the credit. He focused on my weaker points and worked on them.
Book your lessons with confidence!
I just had one of their instructors with Kia Picnto reg number YF68RJX
I am a lorry driver Class 1.I just had one of their instructors with Kia Picnto reg number YF68RJX.At A249 there is a road work and the road becomes from 2 lanes to 1. The stupid Instructor was holding the steering wheel on the student and pushing the car into my near side bumper of my lorry. If I didn't stop they would be smashed by a 30-tons lorry. This instructor is an idiot. Never go to him. That why there are so many accidents on the motorway with straight section.

I had my driving lessons with Barkat Singh, who was patient with me throughout my lessons and helped me navigate through things I found difficult. Fantastic instructor, helped me pass first time. Would highly recommend him as an instructor!

I had a very good experience learning with my driving instructor, Hez. He was patient, calm, and explained everything in a simple way. He helped me feel confident and comfortable while driving.
He always came on time and gave useful tips that helped me improve quickly. Thanks to his support and guidance, I passed my driving test on my first try. I really appreciate his help and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn driving.
Thank you again, Hez, for your great teaching!
My driving instructor Hez was amazing
My driving instructor Hez was amazing. He is extremely patient with me when I started driving and as a beginner, I learnt so much about being a safe driver and all the manoeuvres. He made sure I understood everything and help me become a much confident driver.
I swapped to Kinetic in late November and passed in February
I swapped to Kinetic in late November after a miserable experience with A-Class, where I had completed 100 hours of lessons and was still not test-ready.
Thanks to my instructor, Mark, the difference in my driving was night and day by the new year, and in mid-February I passed my test.
I have already recommended Mark and Kinetic’s services to others and will continue to do so for many years to come.
My driving instructor was mark taulor
My driving instructor was mark taulor. He has been amazing help me out of the bad points has been amazing and understanding. I have now passed my test all thanks to him.
Tee- One of the best instructors
