Amazing experience with MDT and passed!

I had an amazing experience using MDT, which allowed me to pass my driving test. Previously I was nervous behind the wheel, but through the massive help of Mohammad at MDT I was able to pass. I would highly recommend this driving school to all friends and family

Learning to drive with Mohammad Afzal…

Learning to drive with Mohammad Afzal was the best decision I could’ve made. From the very first lesson, he was calm, professional, and incredibly supportive. He has a real gift for explaining things clearly and making even the most nervous learner feel confident behind the wheel.

Mohammad was always patient, never rushed me, and tailored each lesson to suit my progress. His feedback was constructive and encouraging, and thanks to his expert guidance that enable me passed my test.

What really stood out was how much he genuinely cares about his students—not just about passing the test, but becoming a safe and responsible driver for life. If you’re looking for an instructor who’s reliable, knowledgeable, and puts your learning first, I can’t recommend Mohammad Afzal enough.

Thank you again for everything!

Passed First Time

Passed First Time – Amazing Instructor!

I had an outstanding experience learning to drive with Instructor Rafi from Mashaallah Driver Training. He is extremely professional, patient, and knowledgeable. From day one, he made me feel at ease behind the wheel and explained everything in a clear and calm way.
If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, and skilled driving instructor, I highly recommend Rafi. Truly grateful for the experience and the result!

Excellent Service and Smooth Process

I had a truly positive experience with this company. The team was incredibly helpful, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, and they made sure I understood every step. It’s rare to find a company that combines efficiency with genuine care, but they managed it perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a smooth and stress-free experience!
Thank you Zakia

Very Poor Experience with Instructor Ali

Dear Mashaallah Driver Training,

I am writing to formally express my disappointment and frustration with the driving lessons I had with your instructor, Ali (Aliriza). My experience was far below the standard I expected, and I feel completely let down by the lack of professionalism and proper instruction.To begin with, Ali vaped during every single lesson, which was not only unprofessional but also distracting and inappropriate. As a learner, I needed a focused and supportive environment, but his behavior made me uncomfortable and hindered my ability to concentrate.
Worse still, Ali failed to communicate with me effectively or at all. He rarely gave clear instructions, never corrected my mistakes, and provided no constructive feedback. Even when I repeatedly struggled with parking maneuvers (which I booked extra lessons to practice), he showed no interest in helping me improve. Instead, he would simply say I was "ready for the test," even though I felt completely unprepared and lacked confidence.
His lack of communication and guidance meant I never truly developed my driving skills. I relied on his judgment and booked my test based on his misleading assurances, only to realise I was nowhere near test-ready. A good instructor should actively teach, correct errors, and ensure their student progresses—none of which happened in my case.
I am extremely unhappy with the wasted time, money, and effort due to Ali’s poor teaching and unprofessional attitude. I urge you to address this issue seriously to prevent other learners from going through the same negative experience.
I would appreciate a response regarding what actions will be taken to rectify this situation.

Sincerely,
Lea

Passed First Time Thanks to Rafi!

Passed First Time Thanks to Rafi!
I passed my driving test on the first try with only 18 hours of lessons—and I had absolutely no previous driving experience before starting. That says everything about how good Rafi is as an instructor.

His knowledge, patience, and ability to teach made learning to drive feel straightforward and stress-free. He explains things clearly, knows exactly how to build your confidence, and never wastes time in lessons.

If you’re looking for a top driving instructor who genuinely knows how to get results, Rafi is the one. Can’t recommend him enough.

Mohammad Afzal

Mohammad Afzal, my instructor, was absolutely key in helping me pass my driving test on the first attempt. His teaching style is calm, structured, and extremely effective. He knows the High Barnet routes inside out and made sure I was fully prepared for every part of the exam. His lessons were always professional, detailed, and tailored to help me improve where needed — including helpful notes to review at home. I felt confident and ready on test day, thanks to his excellent guidance.

I can’t thank my driving instructor Zakia enough for all the help and support she gave me. She was patient, encouraging, and made me feel comfortable. Zakia is very kind, she calmly explains what to do better and helped me build real confidence in my driving. And I passed first time. Thank you Zakia

Passed first time with Eylem!

Passed first time with Eylem!! She is a great instructor, attentive, patient and very informative. I found driving very daunting and wasn’t very confident at first but with Eylem the entire process felt easy, my confidence improved and was able to pass first time. Would highly recommended Eylem to any learner.

Ali is the excellent instructor who…

Ali is the excellent instructor who helped me to get ready for the driving exam which I passed! I had just two lessons with Ali as I had already driving experience, but without his help I wouldn’t pass the exam. He knows everything - the usual routes, the structure of the exam, etc and all information he shared was very helpful. His approach is very professional and calm, he makes you believe in your abilities and at the same time he helps you improve your skills and knowledge more. Ali was also very helpful on the day the exam when I had an issue with the L plates. Thank you very much, Ali for your help and I can recommend everyone Ali as an instructor especially for those who have their driving test in High Barnet.

I want to say big thank you to Farshid Rafei, driving instructor for the tremendous effort and support he gave me during my short period of training with him. This was very helpful and significant in helping me pass my practical driving test on my first attempt. Thanks MDT at large.

An experience of a lifetime!

This review comes from the bottom of my heart with utmost gratitude for the amazing training, guidance and support Ari and the team at MDT provided which helped me pass my exam first time in Barnet. Ari was just out of this world, extremely professional, kind, courteous and a true mentor. Ari curated a perfect purpose-built schedule that worked well for me and was on time every time for the lessons. During the lessons Ari demonstrated a high degree of patience and worked with me at every phase to truly elevate my confidence. He instilled a sense of belief that I could pass first time throughout my time with MDT. I particularly enjoyed the lesson the day before the exam and Ari’s advice helped me to overcome all stress on the exam day. Came in very early on the day of the exam, reminded me the important steps and helped with all the touch points during the exam process. I was also supported by the MDT team with amazing mock exams with Zakia leading them providing constructive advice in real exam conditions. I wish Ari, Zakia and the team at MDT the very best!!!

From terrified to confident and with a driving license in just 2 months – highly recommend!

I was honestly ready to give up on learning how to drive. My experience with previous instructors had left me anxious and unsure if I would ever feel comfortable behind the wheel.

Then I found this driving school and everything changed.

My instructor, Zakia, was incredibly patient and encouraging. She helped me build my confidence step by step, lesson by lesson. I actually started to enjoy the process, something I never thought possible before.

Thanks to her support and professionalism, I passed my driving test on the first try, all within just 2 months.

I’m so grateful and would highly recommend this school to anyone feeling nervous or disheartened. You're in great hands here.

Thanks Zakia!
