Excel Driver Training Limited Reviews 

After a long and difficult experience with tests and instructors, I came to Richard with my test in 3 weeks. He installed so much confidence in me, all lessons tailored to what I wanted to improve on. He made such a comfortable environment, which I never had with my previous instructors, right from the start. He then took me for my test, and I passed! I strongly recommend Richard and excel, he definitely deserves all the praise he gets.

Natalie had been an amazing driving instructor. Natalie has always made me feel so comfortable when driving and this has given me the confidence I needed to pass my test and become a safe driver. Natalies communication has been wonderful and very helpful when learning different driving methods and manoeuvres.

Thank you to my instructor, Aneka Wylie, for making my learning experience so enjoyable. You made me feel at ease from the very first lesson. Aneka is patient, calm, really good clear communication as well as positive feedback & encouragement. She made sure that I was comfortable with each task. I really enjoyed my lessons, and it was Aneka’s excellent instructor which gave me a positive experience and enabled me to pass first time. Thank you

If you want to have a fantastic learning experience and become a good and safe driver - then Excel are just the best.

Richard provided excellent instruction, in a friendly and flexible manner - allowing our son to pass his practical test before Christmas. Throughout the learning journey, Richard was supportive and super flexible with schedules to fit around college times.

Taking Richards advise to give as much private practise as possible - we found going out with our son with the "L" plates on to be really comfortable - yes I know as parents we all get nervous when the kids grow up and start driving - but actually found we could relax when out in the car with our son - a true testament to the great tuition he was receiving.

Richard was also fantastic about test scheduling - that whole system is just crazy, and when our son was ready, although the lessons paused (as deemed test ready) we continued with private practise then when we were able to swipe a test slot - Richard was just excellent and rescheduled to fit it all in.

Overall a fantastic experience, and great that as part of the lessons, Keep the Beat charity gains a donation - just great on all levels.

If you are looking for a driving instructor - you really don't need to look anywhere else - this is the place, and Richard and his team of instructors are just the absolute best.

My instructor natalie was amazing. Not only was she a great teacher who helped me right through to passing my test first time even though it was a last minute cancelation, but she made me feel comfortable and safe the whole time. The app was also really helpful and was good to track the progress

“I don’t just want you to pass i want you to be a good driver” Is what Aiden said to me on my first lesson, it really struck me straight away as to how good of an instructor he is, he clearly doesn’t just want people to pass but wants safe drivers on the road. Really good ways of teaching and always took me through the full processes of certain things with what the examiners are looking for, not only that but how to do things safely and what’s required for you to pass and be a safe driver. He has great communication and always fit our lessons around my commitments. Super nice person, really calmed my nerves, empathizing with my feelings and reassuring me constantly, knowing how much I doubt myself 😂. Boosted my confidence today for my test which definitely helped me to pass today first time with 1 fault in only 3.5 months. Couldn’t recommend excel enough, more specifically Aiden ! Thank you for all the help :)

Just passed my test in my first attempt .The best instructor could find Aneka Wylie !!!Very patient,professional and friendly! Your teaching strategies are really amazing! I really appreciate all the help you provided! Highly recommend best.She is the best !!Thank you so much !!

Richard was very lovely and got me through it in 5 months, when dealing with the practical test he help my nerves go from very high to almost gone. when having lessons with richard he made sure that i was calm and ran me through the whole process of how to do it. 100% recommend richard as he really helped me pass it first time and wouldn’t of been able to do it without him.

I am so glad I met Aneka, She is an absolutely brilliant instructor and person and a lovely human being. She brought my confidence back , such a good listener, so friendly . I couldn't have done without her guidance and patience. Passed with 0 faults in 1st attempt with her. You are so lucky if you got her as your instructor. Good luck !!

Andy is and was a top driving instructor for me and very easy to get on well and was very helpful. He helped me get through my test 1st time with under 20 hours of experience. He was good at always doing something in the lessons and not delaying and great value .Was always on time and responsive when I needed to ramp up my lessons to lead to test week. I would 100% recommend Andy as an instructor he is amazing and he’s also a top top bloke.

Thank you Richard for being very responsible instructor and also the boss of Excel. I was let down just 3 days before my test. Brilliantly he had arranged me with Natalie- an amazing instructor who had helped me to pass the test finally. Thank you so much Richard and Natalie.

Natalie was an amazing instructor, she believed in me from the get go,She helped me gain confidence and supported me through my entire driving journey,She’s so kind and patient,I couldn’t of passed first time without her!

So after just over a year with Aiden today I have finally passed my test and it’s all done to how well Aiden has been with me. When I started I was so nervous and uncomfortable and now I have no worries , couldn’t recommend him enough, methods are brilliant and so so helpful!

Passed with only 2 driver faults.
I had Aiden as an instructor and I really enjoyed my lessons with him. He made me more confident with my overall driving. Thanks for all your help!
Highly recommend.

I trained as a driving instructor with Excel and it was absolutely the best decision I made.
My current job and situation at the time meant I wasn't able to do an intensive style training course and I had to make sure the training would fit around everything else. Rich at Excel ensured me that this would be no problem at all and would make sure everything worked. And he did!
Right from the start, and throughout my whole ADI journey, both the training and level of support has been incredible.
The training, which was first class, was delivered by Ray from Excel. All dates were scheduled in to meet my needs and he always pushed me in my thinking and development of my skills.
From day 1, Rich always kept in touch, checking on progress and was there whenever needed either via a phone call or in person and always dealt with any issue. For my 3rd exam, Rich made sure I had pupils so I could practice and also sat in with me giving additional help and guidance.
The end result - I am now a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor passing all 3 driving instructor exams on the first attempt!!
I am also proud to say that I am now part of the Excel Driver Training Team delivering high quality driving lessons producing safe drivers of the future.
A sincere thanks to Excel as I couldn't have done this without the support you gave.

Passed with only 3 driver faults.
I had Aiden as an instructor and I really enjoyed my lessons with him as we could have a laugh and he made me feel comfortable. He made me get so much more confident at driving around places i didn’t like and really pushed me. Thanks for all your help!

I first booked Matt for my very shy unconfident Nephew for his 17th birthday based on word of mouth and praise from others. It truly was the best thing I could have done. Matt is so nice to deal with, has a lovely character, communication is easy and efficient, approachable and made my nephew feel very at ease and comfortable. My nephew enjoyed and looked forward to his weekly lesson and enjoyed Matts teaching and character. He teaches to your pace and identifies to work on and practice the areas required for improvement with you. My nephew started with Matt in the April with 1 lesson per week and passed 1st time in the October with flying colours. Not only are we appreciative of that, as he his extremely good at what he does, BUT the whole experience which Matt made comfortable and enjoyable for my nephew . If you’re looking for a nice, down to earth, friendly good driving instructor who teaches well. Matt is your man!

Thanks Matt 👍

I had Aneka as a instructor. I was so glad when she told me that I was her first student passing the driving test with zero fault.
As English is my second language, I had doubts whether my instructor can explain/teach me clearly. Having her as instructor, I didn't had any issues. She is very friendly, confident and the way she explains is second to none. I would definitely recommend her.
And wish you good luck if your driving test is coming soon.

I had Aneka, what a BRILLIANT driving instructor she is! She’s patient, always calm, alway’s helps when needed with understanding the roads&your car, funny, kind, brilliant time keeping, basically over all AMAZING! Never fails to make sure every lesson is enjoyable but she alway’s make sure you understand before moving onto the next bit of driving and is always down to earth with you regarding what needs to be improved and what is good. Will recommend Aneka to anyone who wants to learn automatic driving.

Can’t thank you enough Richard for supporting Gracie in passing her driving test. Gracie has enjoyed her lessons and you’ve been her rock throughout her journey. Not only have you kept her safe on the road, you’ve built her confidence up too. Thank you - you are a 😇
